This study aims to analyze the relationship among species in the Poaceae family based on their similarities in morphological characteristics. The method used was a taximetry method describing the taxonomic affinity based on morphological characteristics of plants, including leaves, stems, roots, flowers, and fruit. Morphological character data was compiled on Ms Excel, representing the character of each organ and morphological scoring data. Furthermore, the scoring results were analyzed with the NTSys-PC version 2.02i program, and the final results were presented as a dendrogram. The research results show five species of members of the Poaceae family, including Zea mays, Oryza sativa, Saccharum officinarum, Pennisetum purpureum and Cymbopogon citratus, showed that Zea mays and Cymbopogon citratus had the closest affinity with a coefficient of 0.47. In contrast, the most distant affinity was Pennisetum purpureum, with a coefficient of 0.25.ABSTRAK: Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menganalisis kekerabatan antar spesies dalam satu famili Poaceae berdasarkan persamaan sifat dan ciri morfologinya. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode taksimetri untuk menjelaskan kekebrabatan fenetik berdasarkan karakter morfologi tumbuhan meliputi daun, batang, akar, bunga, dan buah. Data karakter morfologi disusun pada Matriks Ms. Excel yang mewakili karakter masing-masing organ, dan data skoring morfologis. Selanjutnya hasil skoring dianalisis dengan program NTSys-PC versi 2.02i dan hasil akhir disajikan dalam bentuk dendogram. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian lima spesies anggota famili Poaceae, antara lain Zea mays, Oryza sativa, Saccharum officinarum, Pennisetum purpureum dan Cymbopogon citratus menunjukkan bahwa hubungan kekerabatan fenetik Zea mays dan Cymbopogon citratus memiliki hubungan kekerabatan yang paling dekat dengan koefisien 0.47 sedangkan kekerabatan yang paling jauh adalah Pennisetum purpureum dengan koefisien 0.25.

An accurate and extensive study of the qualitative morphological diversity of sugarcane genotypes would allow their identification, conservation and utilization in the sugarcane breeding program. The objectives of the study were to characterize and estimate the morphological diversity of sugarcane genotypes using qualitative traits. Data collected for 16 qualitative characters were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis to assess the overall patterns of morphological variation. Shannon diversity index (H′) was calculated to estimate morphological diversity. The result indicated that the qualitative traits revealed high variability among 144 sugarcane genotypes. The most polymorphic character with the highest Shannon diversity index (H′) was stalk corky patchs. The H′ averaged across all countries for different characters was found to vary from 0.50 to 0.76 with an average of 0.61. The H′ pooled across characters by country of collection ranged from 0.00 to 0.83, with a general average of 0.62. Multivariate cluster analysis has grouped the genotypes into four distinct clusters based on the relatedness and variation for all considered characters. Genotypes with close genetic relationships are grouped in a single cluster. The clustering pattern of the genotypes elucidated that genotypes originating from the same geographic locations did not form a single cluster. This shows that geographic diversity has not associated with genetic diversity, which may be due to the continuous exchange of genetic material among countries. Finally, we concluded that the qualitative morphological traits evaluated in this study could be used for varietal identification, maintaining genetic diversity and managing sugarcane germplasm.

“…Sugarcane breeders contemplating the use of new germplasm in breeding programs need to know the characteristics of the many classes and clones of materials available and how a logical selection of parents could be made from them (Mbuma et al, 2019). Several authors have reported that the characterization of sugarcane germplasm in different parts of the world is done merely by giving a detailed description of the morphological characters that each variety possesses (Akhtar et al, 2006;Nosheen and Ashraf, 2001;Ekpélikpézé et al, 2016). Specifically, two useful traits are indicative of high sugar yield; viz.…”

Genetically-variable sugarcane progenies are generated through the crossing of parents. The commercial varieties with high cane and sugar yields, moderate fibre content, pest and disease resistance, and high adaptability to growing conditions are selected from these progenies. This study was conducted to identify parents with high combining ability of most of these characteristics into the progenies for efficient variety selection in sugarcane breeding. In this regard, 508 accessions from the Saccharum germplasm were assessed for their commercial attributes. Data on cane and sugar yield components were collected from each accession. Phenotypic correlations were estimated for each pair of characteristics. Principal component analysis was performed, and subsequently, cluster analysis was done based on the first three principal components. Phenotypic relationships revealed that the plot yield of an accession is mainly determined by the number of stalks and stalk length, suggesting that accessions with a higher number of stalks and longer stalk lengths can be taken as promising parents for breeding for cane yield. The strong positive relationships of brix to other components of sugar content proved that the parents with high sugar can be classified by hand brix. The selected PCs clustered the accessions into four groups. Group 1 comprises the parental core collection for generating progenies with moderate cane yield, high sugar yield, and moderate fibre content, whilst accessions in group 3 can be used for breeding energy cane. The accessions SLC 91 46 and S 2003-US-247 were identified as the most promising parents in the simultaneous improvement of cane and sugar yields with moderate fibre content.
