Mariana is a notable F1 hybrid cultivar, sharing a close genetic relationship with Starmaya. This cultivar results from the crossbreeding of IAPAR 59 with a male-sterile Ethiopian landrace variety. Unlike many F1 hybrids, Mariana is among the first F1-hybrids ever to be propagated from seeds instead of through tissue cloning techniques. Ok wow... I was just about to write that it was cool if you are a nerd, then I read a bit more about it and I caught myself thinking how cool it was, so am I nerd? Maybe, but that's fine, this nerd likes the fact that he can taste something reminiscent of a good Ethiopian natural in a new variety that's more resistant to climate change.
