Abstract

Genetic diversity in 50 genotypes of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), estimated using Mahalanobis' D2 value, indicated considerable diversity in the material studied. The genotypes were grouped in 15 clusters using multivariate analysis. The pattern of distribution of genotypes from different geographical regions into various clusters was random, demonstrating that geographical distribution maynotbe the factor causing genetic diversity.
