In the present study, an attempt was made to assess the genetic divergence among the 103 kodo millet germplasm accessions using Mahalanobis D² statistic collected from Millet Breeding Station, Coimbatore. The observations were recorded on yield components and nutritional quality traits. The 103 germplasm lines were grouped into 11 different clusters based on D² analysis. Cluster I had a maximum of 63 genotypes, followed by clusters II and III with 14 each, cluster X with four genotypes and cluster VIII with two genotypes. |
