Morphological and genetic characterization among wild populations of copao ( Eulychnia acida Phil.), cactus endemic to Chile

ABSTRACT There are endemic cacti species in the North of Chile with edible fruits and a fledgling productive potential, with unknown degree diversity. Low diversity compromises the ability of populations to evolve and reduces their chances of survival under environmental changes. Copao (Eulychnia ac...

Copao (Eulychnia acida Phil.), a cactus endemic to Chile that grows in the Coquimbo Region (30° S lat) and able to bear fruit in water stress conditions, were morphologically characterized using descriptors of other columnar cacti at three different locations where it usually grows wild.
