Two unique black pepper accessions with very long spikes from the centre of origin
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Abstract
Two unique black pepper accessions with very long spikes, hitherto unreported in the world genepool of black pepper, were collected from the centre of origin of the species and characterized. The two accessions can be a valuable genetic source in the improvement of spike length.
