  abstract = {{T}hough facing significant challenges, coffee ({C}offea arabica) grown in {H}aitian agroforestry systems are important contributors to rural livelihoods and provide several ecosystem services. {H}owever, little is known about their genetic diversity and the variety mixtures used. {I}n light of this, there is a need to characterize {H}aitian coffee diversity to help inform revitalization of this sector. {W}e sampled 28 diverse farms in historically important coffee growing regions of northern and southern {H}aiti. {W}e performed {KASP}-genotyping of {SNP} markers and {H}i{P}lex multiplex amplicon sequencing for haplotype calling on our samples, as well as several {E}thiopian and commercial accessions from international collections. {T}his allowed us to assign {H}aitian samples to varietal groups. {O}ur analyses revealed considerable genetic diversity in {H}aitian farms, higher in fact than many farmers realized. {N}otably, genetic structure analyses revealed the presence of clusters related to {T}ypica, {B}ourbon, and {C}atimor groups, another group that was not represented in our reference accession panel, and several admixed individuals. {A}cross the study areas, we found both mixed-variety farms and monovarietal farms with the historical and traditional {T}ypica variety. {T}his study is, to our knowledge, the first to genetically characterize {H}aitian {C}. arabica variety mixtures, and report the limited cultivation of {C}. canephora ({R}obusta coffee) in the study area. {O}ur results show that some coffee farms are repositories of historical, widely-abandoned varieties while others are generators of new diversity through genetic mixing.},
