Studies on Quantitative Morphogenetical Variations and their Relationship among Wheat Varieties (Triticum aestivum L.)
Journal Title: Journal of Plant Science and Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The morphogenetical characters [number of seeds per inflorescence, seed weight (g), leaf area (cm), shoot length (cm), internode length (cm), root length (cm), shoot biomass fresh weight and dry weight (g-1 FW/DW)] were collected from the three wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties (HUW 234, HUW468 and HUW 533) during March 2007-10 every year. The characters were analyzed for each variety separately and merged together and calculated the similarity index for direct or indirect connection of the characters with each other and between the characters by SPSS ver. 16. The result showed that most of the characters were directly associated with each other for growth and development of the crop plant. The distance matrix was estimated using the similarity matrix (Pearson correlation). The distance matrix was utilized to predict the circular tree by UPGMA for the association of characters and relationship of wheat varieties and suggested that wheat varieties could be divided into two different groups. The first group included the HUW 533 and second group included the HUW 234 and HUW 468. The Covariance (Cov), total (HT) and mean (HS) heterozygosity, gene differentiation (GST) and gene flow (Nm) were calculated. The GST and Nm was found to be similar with the values 0.875 and 0.0714 respectively in all the varieties which indicated the varietal origin of the HUW 234, HUW 468 and HUW 533 but the Cov, HT and HS showed partial difference which may be due to environmental effect.
