Abstract

Amazonian spinach is an unconventional food plant with great production potential and excellent nutritional properties. This study aimed to verify the genetic divergence among 16 Amazonian spinach genotypes based on morphoagronomic traits. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, with 16 treatments and four replicates. The AM-7 and AP-1 genotypes stood out for presenting superior values for important traits, making them promising for the formation of superior genotypes in future genetic breeding studies. The Tocher’s optimization method led to the formation of distinct groups, corroborating the existence of genetic variability among the genotypes.

KEYWORDS: Alternanthera sessilis (L.) DC, genetic variability, unconventional food plant, genetic dissimilarity.
