Phenotypic Diversity of Pea Genotypes (Pisum sativum L.) Based on Multivariate Analysis

Abstract

The present study was conducted to identify the nature and magnitude of genetic divergence among fifty five genotypes based on phenotypical traits using the multivariate analysis. Based on cluster analysis, the genotypes were best fitted into six clusters. The maximum and minimum genotypes grouped in cluster III (14) and minimum were in Cluster IV (4) respectively. The maximum intra-cluster distance was shown by cluster I (D2 2.543) indicating maximum difference among the genotypes within and the minimum value was shown by cluster II (D2 =1.827). Maximum value of inter-cluster distance (D2=6.471) was recorded between cluster I and cluster IV revealing that the genotypes of these clusters were highly diverse from others and can be used as divergent parents for hybridization and selection. Thus, for getting high heterosis for recovering transgressive segregants, genotypes from cluster I and IV can be used as distant parents in any breeding programme for successful pea improvement. The Optimum number of K-means clusters formed were four. The result of PCA revealed that all the four principal components (PC-I, PC-II, PC-III and PC-IV) contributed 86.7% of the total variability. The results of present study could be exploited in the future genetic improvement programme of pea genotypes in Uttar Pradesh region.

Genetic Diversity Associated with Eco-geographical Parameters, Morphological Characteristics and Soil Analyzes of Common Vetch (Vicia sativa L.) in Algeria

“…The results of our Kruskal-Wallis test executed on 29 continuous quantitative traits showed a significant effect of the factor (accessions) for all the attributes used in our study (Table 1). These genetically diverse accessions can be used as promising parents for hybridization (Singh et al 2021), to develop superior hybrids with desirable combination of traits (Janghel et al 2021). Mebarkia et al (2020) revealed a significant positive relationship between the full flowering stage with grain yield (r=0.76) and aerial biomass (r=0.69) and showed that late varieties are the most productive.…”

Assessment of Genetic Diversity and Population Structure in Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Germplasm based on Morphological Traits and SSR Markers

“…Jaccard's similarity index was ranged from 0.589 between accessions ' maximally to a genetic divergence of pea (Cupic et al, 2009;Suman et al, 2019;Singh et al, 2021).…”

Genetic Relationship and Diversity among Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Genotypes Assessed using Morphological and Molecular Markers

“…In peas, various genetic diversity studies were done using phenotypic traits (Priyanka and Lal, 2021;Singh et al, 2021a). Loridon et al (2005) initially developed a set of SSRs for genetic diversity and linkage mapping of a pea.…”
