Integrated multivariate analysis to identify superior cowpea genotypes.

摘要: Genetic divergence among 40 cowpea genotypes was quantified by means of integrated multivariate analysis aiming to assist the selection and development new cultivars. The experiment carried out in randomized blocks design with treatments 4 repetitions. techniques applied were partially concordant, following same trend for clustering genotypes. Directed crosses between belonging group I IV VI will be able lead creation segregating families high yield potential an increase probability recovering individuals. variables hundred grain weight, average pod length number seeds per are main determinants quantification genetic
