GENETIC DIVERGENCE IN OPIUM POPPY (PAPAVER SOMNIFERUM L.)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Eighteen advanced selections and varieties were grouped into five clusters using D2 statistic. Clusters comprised 9, 4, 2, 2 and 1 genotypes. Latex yield, capsule husk yield, seed yield, capsule volume, capsule number and capsule breadth were the major contributors to D2 values. On the basis of wide diversity and highest contributing characters, the crosses IC 88 X IC 85, IC 88 X IC 30, IC 88 X IC 42, IC 128 X IC 85, IC 128 X Ie 30 and IC 128 X IC 42 are identified for high level of manifestation of heterosis and production of desired recombinants.
