Intraspecific variability among Lannea species reveals promising morphotypes and ethnotypes in the semi-arid savannas of Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Soumaϊla Savadogo, Anne Mette Lykke, Blandine Marie Ivette Nacoulma[, Balima Larba Hubert, Adjima Thiombiano,
Lannea species are among the fruit trees with high socio-economic importance in West Africa yet their intra-specific variability remains poorly studied, despite being essential for selection and domestication. This studyaimed to characterize morphotypes based on 60 traits and 399 trees of Lannea acida A. Rich., Lannea microcarpaEngl. & K. Krau(...)
