Genetic diversity and trait profiles of some Amaranthus genotypes

Knowledge of the pattern trait variation among accessions, and profiles accessions is crucial for improvement a crop. Twenty-one Amaranthus were evaluated in 2018 2019 to investigate extent genotypic diversity amaranth their profiles. Data subjected analysis variance, correlation principal component analyses. Taking stem weight (SWT) as yield, accession × yield-trait combination (GYT) biplot was employed accessions. Accession, year, year mean squares significant (P≤0.05/0.01) most measured traits. The first three components explained 88.18% observable identified plant height (PHT), number leaves per (NOL), root (RWT) major contributors. Significant (P≤0.01) observed association SWT with NOL, TBM, RWT. Accessions NGB00019 NGB00061 associated sector containing all YT combinations considered. However, best combiner yield other Further studies involving more traits should determine remaining
