  abstract = {{A}rracacha ({A}rracacia xanthorrhiza {B}ancr.) is an asexual propagated root crop domesticated in the {A}ndean highlands, which exists naturally with polycarpic and monocarpic forms. {W}ild {A}. xanthorrhiza are present in the area of domestication and can occasionally be mistaken in the same field for a crop or a weed. {T}o study genetic relationships between cultivated arracacha and the wild forms, we surveyed the diversity of 178 plant samples at 11 microsatellite ({SSR}) loci. {A}s expected, wild {A}. xanthorrhiza forms showed a significantly higher allelic diversity for all the examined {SSR} markers. {T}he cultivated pool showed an excess of heterozygosity as opposed to a deficit found in the wild compartment. {H}igh {F}st values and {AMOVA} analysis suggest that the cultivated variety has genetically differentiated from the wild forms and is more related to the wild polycarpic than to the monocarpic. {B}oth the wild forms were well distinguished from the cultivars. {N}evertheless, among a set of {F}1 experimental hybrids (cultivated x wild polycarpic), some other genotypes were revealed, also being admixed. {O}ur results highlight a large genetic base available in the wild populations of {A}. xanthorrhiza with potential implications for the utilization and breeding of this promising crop.},
