Diversity analysis among the seventy six germplasm of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) was estimated using morphological markers. Morphological characterization was done based on different parameters like plant height, primary and secondary branches per plant, number of leaves per plant and fresh weights carried out at different stages of the crop and showed wide variability. Dry matter partitioning viz., leaf dry weight, pods dry weight, total dry weight, yield and yield components, pod per plant, seed per plant, 100 seeds weight and seed yield per plant, were recorded at the time of harvest. The results of present investigation suggested that genetic relationships in lentil germplasm using morphological data may be useful for plant improvement and an efficient way to conserve genetic resources of lentil.

Abstract


Diversity analysis among the seventy six germplasm of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) was estimated using morphological markers. Morphological characterization was done based on different parameters like plant height, primary and secondary branches per plant, number of leaves per plant and fresh weights carried out at different stages of the crop and showed wide variability. Dry matter partitioning viz., leaf dry weight, pods dry weight, total dry weight, yield and yield components, pod per plant, seed per plant, 100 seeds weight and seed yield per plant, were recorded at the time of harvest. The results of present investigation suggested that genetic relationships in lentil germplasm using morphological data may be useful for plant improvement and an efficient way to conserve genetic resources of lentil.
