Abstract: | Genetic diversity among the 88 entries including eighty F4 derivatives i.e., 20 each selected from Brassica crosses viz., B. juncea × B. napus, B. juncea × B. rapa var. toria, B. juncea ×B. rapa var. yellowsarson and B. tournefortii × B. juncea, and eight parent genotypes was assessed through multivariate analysis (D2 statistic). Significant differences among the family groupsas well as within the family were recorded for all the 14 characters studied. The D2 analysis revealed enormous diversity among the interspecific cross derivatives. The genetic distances calculated among different Brassica species revealed that B. tournefortii had maximumdiversity with B. juncea followed by B. napus, B.rapa var. toria and B. rapa var. yellow sarson.Amongst interspecific crosses, maximum diversity was noticed indescendants of cross B. tournefortii × B. juncea followed byB. juncea × B. napus, B. juncea × B.rapa var. toria and the least in the cross B. juncea ×B. rapa var. yellow sarson. These results indicated that the derivatives selected from cross of diverse parents revealed greater diversity. The clustering pattern showed that many derivatives of the cross fell into the same cluster but in many cases in spite of common ancestry many descendants of the cross spread over different clusters. The characters, namely, plant height, secondary branches per plant, days to flowering and1000-seed weight were contributed maximum towards genetic divergence. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
