GENETIC DIVERSITY ANALYSIS OF WINTER WHEAT ACCESSIONS OF DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL ORIGINS BY PCA

Abstract
Description
Agronomic valuable and morphological traits in 177 winter wheat varieties and breeding lines of different geographical origins from 20 countries were investigated. Significant variations for all studied traits were found and the accessions were differentiated by principal component analysis (PCA). The most complete geographical differentiation of the accessions was seen in winter hardiness scores, field resistance to Septoria spp., earing dates, ear morphology, wax bloom intensity.
