Abstract: | Genetic diversity in 24 advanced breeding lines of cotton was studied by using six amplified fragment length polymorphism
(AFLP) primer-pairs and 14 morphological characters. The six selected AFLP primer-pairs generated a total of 535 amplification
products, of which 460 were found to be polymorphic resulting in 85.9% polymorphism. The observed genetic distances using
AFLP markers ranged from 30% to 87% with an average of 34%. A wide range of variability was observed for all the morphological
traits studied. The range in taxonomic distance was from 0.60 to 2.77. Most of the lines could be clustered in two major clusters
in both the analyses. But the correlation coefficient between the pair-wise distances estimated from AFLPs and the average
taxonomic distances estimated from morphological characters was found to be 0.04. UPGMA cluster analysis revealed inconsistencies
in the clustering patterns, as the co-phenetic correlation coefficient between the dendrograms for morphological and AFLP
data indicated a poor fit for the two data types. From combined information, genotypes ‘RST-12’, ‘H 1226’, ‘P 348’, ‘KDCAKD’,
‘CISV 24’ and ‘H1222’ were found to be distinct from rest of the material. |
