Genetic Diversity Analysis in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

This is a reference book which describes importance, use and basic information relevant to Wheat and its improvement. In reference to genetic diversity analysis, data was collected for yield and its components and utilized for genetic evaluation of diverse wheat genotypes. The analysis revealed high significant genetic variation for most of the yield components. Recent research findings in wheat improvement aspects have been incorporated in the book. The present research would be fruitful during formulating breeding strategies for wheat improvement. Methodology, experimental findings and their relation with earlier researches has been elaborated in the book. Thousand grain weight, plot yield, grains per spike, tiller per meter and ear length are found key traits for genetic evaluation of wheat genotypes and should be utilized in wheat breeding programmes. Genetic diversity analysis using Cluster and principal component analysis has explored an opportunity to identify diversified genotypes for crop improvement.Present book is basically written for Plant Breeding Scholar and persons interested in Wheat research.
