Prunus africana populations of conservation priority based on the first selection method proposed (S1).

A subset of 32 Prunus africana populations, from across 9 African countries is characterized by genetic data (number of individuals, haplotype richness, allelic richness, occurrence of locally common alleles, similarity in allelic composition) and climatic data. Haplotype/allelic richness and presence of locally common alleles are ranked, with highest ranking attributed to populations with the highest value of these parameters. Priority populations for conservation are highlighted in bold.
