GENETIC DIVERGENCE IN RICE COLLECTIONS AKBAR ALI CHEEMA, MUHAMMAD RASHID, MUHAMMAD ASHRAF AND ZIA-UL-QAMAR
Abstract: Deviations observed by Metroglyph
method regarding the number of cluster formed, number of genotypes in the cluster
and superimposition of the genotypes within the cluster pointed out that genetic
improvement for yield and yield components is possible. Metroglyph scatter diagram
provided the possibility of 11 groups of rice genotypes. On the basis of this
grouping, it can be interpreted that hybridization between group-I and group-II
is expected to give better rice varieties. Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology (NIAB), P. O. Box. 128, Jhang Road, Faisalabad. |
