Abstract

Coffea arabica L. belongs to the Rubiaceae family, and the genus Coffea and its primary center of origin is Ethiopia. Coffee is an evergreen dicotyledon tree. It ranks second in global trade after petroleum as an essential commodity for beverages and as a profitable export good. The survey was carried out in three western Oromia zones: East Wollega, West Shoa, and Horoguduru Wollega. The assessment was carried out over the cropping seasons of 2020 and 2021. A total of 306 coffee farms were addressed from all zones, with 15 farms from each Woreda. Coffee landrace diversity was measured using plant height, cherry size, cherry color, and canopy habits. The landrace differences were identified using coffee phenotypic markers. As a result, coffee landraces showed genetic variation in all variables studied. In total, 38.24 percent of observations were open canopy, 46.08 percent were small cherry size, 44.12 percent were tall plant height, and 43.79 percent were. Around half of the entire landraces in the east Wollega Zone had small cherry sizes, open canopy habits, and recent had small cherry sizes, 30.37 percent had medium cheery sizes, and 21.03 percent had giant cherry sizes. The open canopy habit made up 43.46 percent of the canopy, while the intermediate and compact canopy habits made up 34.11 percent and 22.44 percent of the canopy, respectively. Most landraces in the Horoguduru Wollega Zone were modest and cheerful. More than half of the landraces tested developed tall plants with pale red cherry colors. The majority of landraces in the west Shoa Zone exhibited intermediate canopy behaviors (40 percent). More than half (60%) of the cherries sampled were medium in size and plant height. Light red made about 80percent of the cherry color. As a result of the findings, a significant quantity of genetic variation in coffee arabica was observed, leading to the recommendation of landrace collection for future breeding programs.
