Multivariate analysis for genetic divergence in Lentil (Lens culinaris medic)

Manoj Katiyar, Rohit Kant

Abstract :

The objective of this study was to assess the genetic divergence available in lentil germplasm, based on Euclidean distances for the identification of genetically diverse and agronomically superior accessions. Wide physio–morphological divergence was obtained for all the traits under study. Principal component analysis, which transformed for all the metric traits into single index of similarity, yielded twelve eigen vector and roots. Based on first seven principal components (which accounted for 91.57% of the total variation), non–hierarchical Euclidean cluster analysis grouped the 60 lentil accessions into twelve well characterized groups.
