Not AvailableA study was conducted to evaluate the genetic
divergence for morphological and phenological traits under
rainfed conditions in wheat. Seed material comprised of the
294 wheat genotypes used for this study and grouped into
six clusters. Among the six clusters, cluster IV contained
86 and cluster I had 68 genotypes, followed by 12 genotypes
in cluster V. Fifty one genotypes were grouped in
cluster VI and 52 were included in cluster II, while cluster
III was represented by 27 genotypes. Maximum cluster
mean for the character grain yield per plot was observed for
the cluster III (667.1) followed by cluster V (559.3). The
minimum cluster mean under the rainfed conditions was
observed for the cluster IV (269.3). Intra cluster distance
was maximum for cluster III (3.125). The highest inter
cluster distance was noted between cluster II and cluster IV
(4.997). Parentage of 294 genotypes revealed that genotypes
belonging to different eco-geographical areas were
included in the same cluster. This indicated that there was
no association between clustering pattern and eco-geographical
distribution of genotypes.Not Availabl
