    • Figure 1.  Map showing sample collecting site of traditional farmer clones in the Sambirano valley, in northwest Madagascar.

    • Figure 2.  PCoA plot of 190 cacao accessions, including 40 farmer varieties from Madagascar and 150 reference clones from the International Genebanks. The plane of the first three main PCO axes accounted for 76.3% of total variation. First axis = 40.5% of total information, the second = 30.16% and the third = 5.72%. All accessions correspond to the sample list in Table 1.

    • Figure 3.  Inferred clusters in the 40 Madagascar farmer selections and 150 reference international clones using STRUCTURE (K = 7), where K is the potential number of genetic clusters that may exist in the overall sample of individuals. Clusters of individuals are represented by colors. Individuals with multiple colors have admixed genotypes from multiple clusters. Each color represents the most likely ancestry of the cluster from which the genotype or partial genotype was derived.
