Abstract

A wide genetic variability among the genotypes was revealed by the D² analysis, where in 49 genotypes were grouped into ten clusters. Based on average inter-cluster distance, the clusters VII and VIII were found to be highly divergent from all the clusters, the intercluster D² value was 500.33, where lowest D² value was noticed between the clusters IV and VIII (23.35). The genotypes LRB- 461, LRB-462, LRB-463, LRB-464, LRB-465, LRB-466, LRB-467, LL-476, LRB-491, LRB-498 and LRB-490 were found to be divergent.
