Agro-morphological diversity in promising wheat genotypes grown under restricted irrigated condition

A set of 36 promising genotypes were evaluated for 33 agro-morphological traits. Sufficient genetic variability was found for almost all the characteristics of wheat. Genetic diversity among nineteen traits of wheat genotypes was estimated using Mahalanobis D2 analysis and principal component analy...

In component 3, traits with highest weight were days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, the number of spikelets per ear, ear length and relative water content which explained 13.41 per cent of the total variation.

Agro-morphological diversity in promising wheat genotypes grown under restricted irrigated condition
description A set of 36 promising genotypes were evaluated for 33 agro-morphological traits. Sufficient genetic variability was found for almost all the characteristics of wheat. Genetic diversity among nineteen traits of wheat genotypes was estimated using Mahalanobis D2 analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). Sufficient genetic diversity was observed among the genotypes and grouped genotypes into five clusters by Tocher’s method. Cluster I contained the maximum numbers of genotypes (32) and the remaining clusters II, III, IV and V were mono-genotypic. The lowest inter cluster distance was noticed between clusters III and I (260.57) and maximum between Cluster IV and V (891.62). The larger inter-cluster distances between clusters were considered more diverged than those with small distances. The major contributing character towards genetic divergence was found to be grain yield per plant (25.24%), followed by wet gluten (21.59%), chlorophyll content (11.11%) and protein content (10.63%).
