Evaluating genetic divergence in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genotypes
Author(s): Sandhya, Aarti Sharma and SR Vishwakarma
Abstract: A total of 114 barley genotypes were studied on 9 quantitative characters to assess the genetic diversity through Non-hierarchical Euclidean Cluster analysis. The result of pseudo F-test grouped the genotypes into 11 non-overlapping Clusters. The highest intra-Cluster distance was observed in case of Cluster VIII followed by Clusters II, while the maximum inter-Cluster distance was found between Cluster IV and Cluster XI. The genotypes having high mean performance for grain yield per plant and several other yield components were found to be concentrated in Cluster IX and XI. The results suggested that Cluster pairs exhibiting higher inter Cluster distances can be utilized in future breeding program to obtain transgressive segregants. The different Clusters showed considerable differences in intra-Cluster group means of 9 characters studied in the experiment.
