Characterization and comparative analyses of genetic divergence for identification of diverse parents on napier grass germplasm (Pennisetum purpureum L. Schumach)
Abstract:The present study was carried out to characterize 56 Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum L. Schumach) accessions using 17 qualitative traits and to assess the magnitude of genetic diversity among the accessions using 13 biometrical traits in order to select diverse genotypes for using them as parents in future breeding programme. Characterization of the germplasm revealed the presence of discernible variation for majority of the traits with an extremity in the following traits viz., presence of prop roots, leaf… Show more
