Genetic divergence studies in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) germplasm lines

Ninety safflower genotypes representing diverse geographic regions were studied for genetic divergence using Mahalanobis D2 static. The genotypes were grouped into 12 clusters. Seed yield contributed maximum to the total divergence. The maximum inter cluster distance was observed between cluster VII...
