Exploring the Genetic Diversity of Carrot Genotypes through Phenotypically and Genetically Detailed Germplasm Collection

Germplasm evaluation, classification, characterization, and preservation are the initial requirements for any crop genetic improvement programs meant to promote economically important traits. Mean performance range of different expressible traits through ANOVA showed highly significant differences within various genotypes helped evaluate several promising carrot genotypes. The multivariate analysis method was used in this study, which helpful resolving phenotypic genotypic parameters/measurements big collections into easy interpretable dimensions.The research work carried out with eighty-one diversity a germplasm collection analysis.The divergence grouped all ten clusters cluster VI found be biggest, comprised 30 genotypes, followed by IV, 16 Cluster X exhibited high mean value root weight anthocyanin content; III days 1st harvest girth, V dry matter content, total sugar carotene respectively. maximum distance between recorded among II (43,678.5) follow I (43,199.7), it indicated that from these far away could efficiently breeding obtain superior hybrids. Total content (36.14%) contributed most divergence, (35.74%). Out four principal components, PC1 largely towards variation, PC2. partial variances (%) first fourth PC-axes were 36.77, 25.50, 12.67, 10.17, Genotypes like PC-161, PC-173, PAU-J-15, PC-103, PC-43 considered respect marketable yield its associated such as length weight, hence can released directly variety.
