La Colección Nacional de Achiote del Banco de Germoplasma del INIA conserva accesiones que han sido colectadas en 07 regiones del Perú (Cusco, Huánuco, Junín, Loreto, Pasco, San Martín y Ucayali). También se cuenta con accesiones internacionales provenientes de Colombia, Costa Rica y Guatemala. La presente hoja divulgativa se ha desarrollado en el marco del Proyecto N°2480490: Mejoramiento de los servicios de investigación en la caracterización de los recursos genéticos de la Agrobiodiversidad en 17 departamentos del Perú.
Collection and morphological characterization of 149 accessions of achiote (Bixa orellana L.) from seven departments in Perú

The aim of this study was to characterize and identify groups of achiote (Bixa orellana L.) with characteristics related to increased yield and bixin content. A total of 149 achiote accessions were collected from the departments of Loreto, San Martin, Junín, Pasco, Huánuco, Ucayali, and Cusco, in Perú. These were then evaluated using ten quantitative and three qualitative capsule and seed descriptors. Undesirable characteristics such as high spinosity and dehiscence predominated, while none of the quantitative descriptors correlated significantly with bixin content. Principal component analysis indicates that the quantitative descriptors (except for bixin content) are statistically significant, forming four clusters. Notably, one of the clusters included accessions characterized by heavy seeds, and another cluster included accessions with high number of seeds and bixin content.
