D2 ANALYSIS IN EARLY MATURITY HULL-LESS BARLEY (Hordeum vulgare L.) (Pages : 15 - 17)

Genetic diversity was assessed in 73 genotypes of barley (Hordeum vulgare L) by using D2 analysis. The genotypes were grouped into six clusters. Cluster I comprised 21 genotypes which was followed by cluster II and cluster V. Cluster with small statistical distances considered less diverse than those with large distances. The intra cluster value was maximum in cluster V and minimum in cluster I. Cluster IV showed the highest mean values for 1000 grain weight and grain yield per plant while cluster III revealed the lowest mean value for days to maturity. The characters responsible for genetic divergence were days to maturity, grain per spike and 1000 grain weight. Download
