What is it about?
The morphological diversity was studied in 101 accessions of horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) collected from old gardens in Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden.

Why is it important?
The study showed that it is possible to reduce the number of characters in future morphological studies, which would allow characterization of a higher number of accessions to a lower cost and workload. Selecting one or two characters from each of the five identified clusters will still make it possible to divide the accessions in different clusters.
Perspectives
The results showed that there is a high diversity both in leaf and rhizome characters, despite that horseradish is a vegetatively propagated plant.
