Table 2. Summary statistics of diversity for 13 nuSSR markers in a) 345 Andean and Mesoamerican accessions of common bean from America and Europe and b) in ‘pure’ (not admixed) Andean and Mesoamerican common bean accessions as identified on the basis of both chloroplast and nuclear markers and by STRUCTURE analysis.

Gene pool a) All European & American accessions
b) Only American & European “pure” accessions

n, number of samples; Na, total number of alleles; Rs, allelic richness; ΔRs, loss of alleles calculated as ΔRs = 1- (Rs Europe/ Rs America), if Rs Europe > Rs America the parameter was calculated as ΔRs = - [1- (Rs America/ Rs Europe)]; I, Shannon’s information index; He, expected heterozygosity; ΔHe, loss of genetic diversity calculated as ΔHe = 1- (He Europe/America), if He Europe > He America the parameter was calculated as ΔHe = - [1- (He America/ He Europe)].
