Genetic Diversity Analysis for Quantitative Traits in Advanced Breeding Lines of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)

The Assessment of Morphological Diversity of Colchicum luteum L., an Economically Important Threatened Medicinal Plant of Kashmir Himalaya

“…The maximum cluster mean of different phenotypic traits comprises of plant height, leaf area, leaf length, leaf width, number of seeds −1 , corm length, corm width, fresh weight of corm, and dry weight corm, and were predominately found at undisturbed areas recorded in cluster-5 and cluster-4, and the lowest values were found at disturbed areas recorded in cluster-3, cluster-2, and cluster 1 (Table 2). In accordance with other crops, work performed by Hukumchand and Parameshwarappa [45] on Sesamum indicum L.), in which they assessed the traits seed yield per plant (42.43%), 1000 seed weight (18.44%), number of capsules per plant (9.25), and height to the first capsule (6.82), have contributed the maximum to genetic divergence. In addition, [46] worked on (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), in which they studied the traits green pod yield contributed diversity (40.17%) followed by plant height (18.89 per cent).…”

“…The largest cluster-1 was followed by cluster-6 and cluster-2 and -3 with 19 different genotyping types. The genetic divergence of sesame (Sesamum indicum L) in 2019, a set of 96 advancing breeding lines of genotype, was classified in 15 clusters, as per Table 1 and Figure 1, by Hukumchand and Parameshwarappa [45]. Cluster-I was the highest of the 68 line clusters, cluster-2 (11), cluster-5 (4), and cluster-11, respectively.…”
