Abstract

One hundred and sixty seven exotic facultative and winter wheat germplasm collections were evaluated for 4 characters using non-hierarchical Euclidean analysis. All the genotypes were grouped into 11 different clusters showing existence of high genetic diversity in the material. The intra cluster distance was maximum (1.222) in cluster VII and minimum were highly diverse (3.99) from each other. Donors heading and grain yield/plant were identified.
