Abstract

Understanding of the genetic variability in germplasm is crucial for successful choosing varsities in breeding programs. An investigation was conducted to evaluate the genetic variability by cluster and principal component analysis for yield and its nine contributing traits in twenty seven wheat accessions that obtained from Ethiopian Biodiversity Institute and two standard checks namely: - Hidase and Denda were planted at Melkasa Agricultural Research Farm 2017, in main rainy season. Out of different techniques available for assessing the genetic diversity, principal component and cluster analysis are the most important and widely used methods The agro-morphological characters used for analysis were days to 50% heading, plant height, number of tillers per plant, days to 75% maturity, spike length, number of spikelets per spike, number of grain per spike, grain size and yield per plot. Principal component analysis categorized the entire accessions into nine important components explaining nearly 100% of genetic variation. Cluster analysis similarly, categorized the examined characters into four groups. In cluster IV, two accessions namely AC-231520 and AC-222300 have achieved higher rates of yield and yield attributes traits and may be reflected as potential to advance breeding programs. The outcome of the current research could be utilized in designing and implementation of forthcoming breeding programs in wheat.
