G.  aVariability in the molecular, phenological, and physicochemical characteristics of uvaia (Eugenia pyriformis Cambess - Myrtaceae) accessions from the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest.h[electronic resource]  c2021  aUvaia (Eugenia pyriformis Cambess) is a native Atlantic Rainforest plant that produces an acidic yellow‐orange fruit with singular properties. Few studies were performed with the native?s population of uvaia, and there is not a standard production of this fruit, due to its variability in shape, color, aroma, and texture. In this study, native?s plants of uvaia were identified to accomplish the molecular, phenological, and physicochemical characterization. The characterization was used as a base to select native?s plants for a future development of a genetic improvement, aiming the production of new cultivars. In total, twenty-six plants were identified in five populations at Santa Catarina State (Brazil), and an expressive genetic and physicochemical difference between the plants were recorded. In conclusion, this study provides a new perspective related to the uvaia variability, focusing on native?s plants discrimination based on the molecular, phenological, and physicochemical characterization to develop a genetic improvement for the production of worldwide commercial-level plantation of uvaia.  aBrazilian native’s fruits Discrimination Biodiversity Fingerprinting Genetic analysis Multivariate analysis Principal C  aUvaia1 aKOMATSU, R.
