	GENETIC DIVERSITY ANALYSIS FOR AGRO-MORPHOLOGICAL AND SEED QUALITY TRAITS IN RAPESEED *(BRASSICA CAMPESTRIS* L.)** MUHAMMAD YOUSUF^1, SAIF ULLAH AJMAL²,MUHAMMAD MUNIR² AND ABDUL GHAFOOR³ Abstract: One hundred fourteen accessions of rapeseed (Brassica campestris* L.) were evaluated at National Agricultural Research Centre, Islamabad, Pakistan using cluster and principal component analyses during 2005 and 2006. Cluster analysis based on fifteen agro-morphological and six seed quality traits, divided 114 accessions into six and five clusters during 2005 and 2006, respectively. The first seven and five PCs with eigenvalues > 1 contributed 74.09% and 66.08% of the variability amongst accessions during 2005 and 2006, respectively. Nine important characters contributed positively to first two PCs during both the years 2005 and 2006. ¹Rice Research Program, National Agricultural Research Centre, Islamabad, Pakistan ²Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, PMAS Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, Pakistan ³Plant Genetic Resources Program, National Agricultural Research Centre, Islamabad, Pakistan ^*E-mail: yousuf1136@yahoo.com
