Morpho-biochemical insights into globally collected guava germplasm (Psidium spp.): opportunities for utilization in breeding
The study confirms the presence of wide morpho-biochemical variability in Psidium germplasm, offering valuable genetic resources for genetic improvement programs, aimed at enhanced fruit quality with rich antioxidants, bio-fortification, and the tailoring of novel guava genotypes with reduced seed content, enhanced seed mellowness, and tenet branching, fitting in high-density planting and improved yield efficiency.
