The UPGMA dendrogram of 288 <i>G</i>. <i>barbadense</i> accessions, constructed using the genotype of 301 polymorphic SSR alleles.

<p>Horizontal lines denote thresholds of genetic distances. Groups A and B are obtained on the basis of differences in > 50%, whereas subgroups G1, G2 and G3 obtained based on the upper boundary distinctions in 40%, and the subgroups G5 and G4—the upper bound of 20%.</p
