Genetic diversity in 2576 oat germplasm lines using multivariate technique of principal component analysis followed by Euclidean cluster analysis indicated considerable diversity in the material. Study revealed the importance of 100-groat weight, 100-grain weight and seed width towards genetic divergence.
