The genetic divergence among 22 genotypes of stem amaranth was estimated using D² and Principal Component Analysis. The genotypes were grouped into four clusters. Cluster I, II, III and IV composed of two, four, seven and nine genotypes in succession. No relationship was found between divergence and geographic distribution of the genotypes. Maximum inter cluster distance (12.326) was observed between cluster I and III and it was minimum (3.526) between cluster I and II. The crosses between the genotypes of cluster I with that of cluster III and cluster II with cluster III would exhibit high heterosis and also likely to produce new recombinants with desired characters in stem amaranth. The yield contributing characters were leaves per plant, petiole length, stem diameter, leaf weight per plant and stem weight per plant. Leaf width, petiole length and 1000 seed weight showed maximum contribution to the total divergence. The results obtained by D² analysis were confirmed by Principal Component Analysis.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v26i1.19979

Genetic divergence of 40 lime accessions was estimated using D2 and principal component analysis. The genotypes under study fell into 6 clusters. The distribution pattern indicated that the maximum number of genotypes were included in cluster III and the minimum number in cluster VI. The inter cluster distance in most of the cases were higher than the intra cluster distance indicating wider genetic diversity among the accessions of different groups. The highest inter cluster distance was observed between cluster II and III (1568.51) followed by cluster II and VI (1223.72) showing wide diversity among the groups. The highest intra-cluster distance was observed for the cluster III and the lowest for the cluster VI. Leaf area and number of stamen showed maximum contribution towards total divergence among the genotypes. Keywords: Genetic Divergence; Lime; PCA; Genetic diversity DOI: 10.3329/jbau.v7i1.4795 J.

Genetic divergence of thirty three drought tolerant rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes were studied through Mohalanobis’s D2 and principal component analysis for twelve characters. The genotypes were grouped into seven clusters. The cluster I and II were comprised of the maximum number of genotypes (eight) in each followed by cluster V containing five genotypes. The highest inter-cluster distance was in between cluster III and I (368.64) indicating a wide genetic diversity between these two clusters followed by clusters VII and III (346.04). The lowest inter-cluster distance was in between cluster IV and II (42.46) followed by cluster VI and IV (63.29) indicating that the genotypes of these clusters were genetically close. The intra cluster distance in the entire seven clusters was less, which indicate that the genotypes within the same clusters were closely related. Considering the magnitude of genetic distance, contribution of different characters towards the total divergence and magnitude of cluster means for different characters performance, BR 7391-2B-7, BR 7392-2B-25, BR 6855-2B-11-3-4, BR 6855-2B-11-3-5  from cluster I, genotypes BR 6976-2B-15, and Morichbati from cluster III, genotypes BR 7187-2B-2-5 from cluster IV, genotype BR 7187-2B-2-3 and BR 7181-2B-35-2 from cluster V and genotypes BR 6855-2B-11-3-7 and BRRI dhan 42 from the cluster VII are likely to perform better if used in hybridization program.The Agriculturists 2015; 13(2) 133-139

Genetic diversity of 27 chickpea genotypes was studied through Mahalanobis D2 and Principal Component analysis. The genotypes under study fall into five clusters. The cluster II contained the highest number of genotypes (11) and Cluster I contained the lowest. Cluster I produced the highest mean value for number of pods per plant. The inter cluster distances were much higher than the intra cluster distances. Cluster V exhibited the highest intra cluster distance while the lowest distance was observed in cluster I. The highest inter cluster distance was observed between cluster I and II while the lowest was between cluster III and V. Considering all the characters, it was suggested that the genotypes BD6549, BD6603, and BD6548 could used as parents for future breeding programs to develop high yielding varieties of chickpea.

A total of 434 germplasm lines of chickpea were assessed for 13 quantitative traits during rabi 2015-16 at JNKVV, Jabalpur. Genotypes were grouped into fourteen clusters. Clusters II and cluster XIV and cluster XII and cluster XIV, had maximum inter cluster distance. The characters viz.,effective pods per plant followed by biological yield per plant, plant height and 100-seed weight were main contribution to total divergence. Cluster XIV and cluster XIII had highest mean values for maximum number of characters. Based on the result IC 83812, EC 198729, EC 490027, IC 53245, IC 83827and IC 83889 are recommended for hybridization, as these genotypes showed good per se performance for seed yield and belong to the highly diverse clusters.

The genetic divergence was studied in33pummelogenotypes using D2 statistics and principal component analysis at Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Akbarpur, Moulvibazar during 2012 to 2014. The genotypes were grouped into 5 clusters and the maximum number of genotypes was included in cluster IV and V and the minimum number in cluster I. The inter cluster distance in all of the cases were higher than the intra cluster distance indicating wider genetic diversity among the accessions of different groups. The highest inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster I and II followed by cluster II and V and the lowest between III and IV. The highest intra- cluster distance was observed for the cluster II and the lowest for the cluster III. For cluster II, the highest mean values for plant height (6.13m), individual fruit weight (1141.67g), fruit length (13.03 cm) and breadth (13.15 cm), number of segments per fruit (14.41), number and weight of seeds per fruit (123.67 and 50.41g), yield per plant (50.94 kg) were observed. The first axis largely accounted for the variation among the pummelo accessions (26.16%) followed by second axis (18.75%). The first 8 axes accounted 90.56 % of the total variation. The characters individual fruit weight (g) and weight of seeds per fruit (g) showing positive value in both the vectors contributed maximum towards divergence. Considering magnitude of genetic distance, contribution of different traits toward the total divergence, magnitude of cluster means for different traits and performance the genotypes of cluster I, II, and IV may be considered as parents for future hybridization program.Res.

Genetic divergence among 22 genotypes of lentil was estimated using D2 and principal component analysis. The genotypes under study fell into four clusters. The intra-cluster value was the maximum in cluster I and the minimum in cluster II. The inter-cluster distance was larger than the intra-cluster distance in all the cases suggesting the wider genetic diversity among the genotypes of different groups. The inter-cluster value indicated maximum distance between cluster I and II than cluster III and IV. Thus the genetically diverged genotypes of the clusters could be used as parent in hybridization program to get desirable genotypes. Cluster I had the highest mean for days to maturity, plant height, pods/plant and per plot yield while cluster II and III had the highest days to first flowering and 100 seed weight, respectively. Genotypes with these characters in respective groups would, therefore, offer a good scope of improvement of lentil through selection.   Key words: Lentil; cluster analysis; divergence; hybridization DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v23i1.9312 BJPBG 2010; 23(1): 9-12

Twenty eight genotypes of potato representing different sources collected from TCRC, BARI, Gazipur were tested for genetic divergence utilizing multivariate analysis. The genotypes were grouped into five clusters. No relationship was found between genetic divergence and geographic distribution. Number of tubers per plant and yield contributed maximum, while average weight of a tuber and weight of tubers per plant contributed high towards total divergence which offered due attention to these characters while selecting for increased tuber yield. The inter-cluster distance (D2) was maximum (36.29) between III and IV. The highest and the lowest intracluster distances (D2) were 9.64 and 2.48 in cluster III and II, respectively.   Keywords: Potato; selection; genetic divergence; cluster analysis; tuber yield.

Genetic divergence of thirty six restorer lines was studied through Mohalanobis’s D2 and principal component analysis for nine characters. Genotypes were grouped into five different clusters. Cluster III comprised of maximum number of genotypes (eleven) followed by cluster I and IV. The inter-cluster distance was maximum between clusters II and IV (14.064) indicating wide genetic diversity between these two clusters followed by the distance between cluster II and V (10.353), cluster III and cluster IV (8.588). The minimum inter- cluster distance was observed between cluster I and cluster III (2.885) followed by cluster I and cluster V (4.359) and cluster III and cluster V (4.825) indicating that the genotypes of these clusters were genetically close. The intra cluster distance in the entire five clusters was less, which indicated that the genotypes within the same cluster were closely related. Among the characters, number of tillers/hill, panicle length, number of filled spikelets/ panicle, spikelet fertility % and yield/plant contributed most for divergence in the studied genotypes. It indicates that these parameters can contribute more for yield in hybrid rice development.   Keywords: Rice; restorer line; genetic divergence; D2.

Altogether, 30 germplasm of Yam bean including two released varieties viz., Rajendra Misrikand-1(RM-1) and Rajendra Misrikand-2 (RM-2) were analyzed for genetic divergence among twelve studied characters. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among the genotypes for all the twelve characters under study. The (PCV) was greater than genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV) for all the characters and high magnitude of PCV and GCV were observed for traits like tuber weight followed by tuber yield indicating that these traits could be used for tuber yield improvement but wide difference between GCV and PCV were recorded for most of the traits except for the tuber yield and tuber weight. All the thirty genotypes were grouped into 6 clusters using D2 statistics. Highest inter cluster distance was observed between cluster I and III (107.53) followed by cluster III and VI (97.61) and cluster I and II (78.54) on the basis of their genetic distances. Tuber yield followed by tuber weight and seed yield were having maximum contribution towards total divergence.

An investigation was carried out to identify the extent of genetic divergence of seventeen vegetable pea genotypes at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Bangladesh. Genetic divergence was estimated using D2 and principal component analysis. The genotypes under study fell into 4 clusters. The distribution pattern indicated that the maximum numbers of genotypes (6) were included in cluster II and cluster III and the minimum number in cluster IV (1). The inter-cluster distance was higher than the intra-cluster distance which indicated wider genetic diversity among the accessions of different groups. The highest inter-cluster distance was observed between II and IV. The lowest inter-cluster distance was observed between clusters II and III suggesting a close relationship among the genotypes of these two clusters. The highest intra-cluster distance was observed for the cluster II. The positive values of vector I and vector II for plant height, 50% flowering and non-reducing sugar indicated that these characters had the highest contribution towards the divergence among the pea genotypes. The genotypes of vegetable pea from cluster II and cluster IV maybe selected as parents in future hybridization program.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v26i1.19982
