Abstract Background Plant pollen has diverse morphological characteristics that can be consistently passed down from generation to generation. Information on morphology is thus immensely important for plant classification and identification. In the genus Gossypium , however, in-depth research lacking, with only few reports limited cotton species. To evaluate diversity of in we therefore conduct...

Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster are the best tools to measure degree of divergence suggest parents for future crop improvement programmes. A study was done using 64 chickpea genotypes including desi kabuli types provided from RARS, Nandyal. Research conducted at Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla during Rabi 2021-22 in 8×8 square lattice design. Data collected 13 quantitat...

The morphological and essential oil diversity of Stachys lavandulifolia populations from the west northwest Iran were evaluated. results showed a significant difference between for nearly all evaluated traits. broadest variation ranges recorded auxiliary shoot length, leaf length in main branch, number flowers inflorescences. Furthermore, cluster analysis divided 13 into four separate groups. G...

We assessed the interplay of artificial and natural selection in rice adaptation in low-input farming systems in West Africa. Using 20 morphological traits and 176 molecular markers, 182 farmer varieties of rice (Oryza spp.) from 6 West African countries were characterized. Principal component analysis showed that the four botanical groups (Oryza sativa ssp. indica, O. sativa ssp. japonica, O. ...
