World Vegetable Center Amaranthus germplasm core collection

The World Vegetable Center amaranth collection contains around 1,000 accessions of 13 species, including 281 accessions of four species important for vegetable amaranth use in Africa (A. cruentus, A. hypochondriacus, A. caudatus, and A. dubious). Based on single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker genotype diversity, a core collection (CC) of 76 accessions, cultivars, and selections was assembled.
