Figure 1
UPGMA tree (A) based on SSR marker data of 80 garlic accessions and its proportion of membership in each cluster as defined by STRUCTURE (B) and BAPS (C). Region of origin of each accession is indicated as follows: P1 – continental Croatia, P2 – Istria, P3 – Dalmatian and P4 – foreign (followed by three-letter country codes). Bootstrap support values >50% of 1,000 replicates are given above branches. Each accession is represented by a single horizontal rectangle divided into colours. Each colour represents one cluster, and the length of the coloured segments shows the estimated proportion of membership in that cluster. SSR, simple sequence repeat.
