Abstract

In this paper an analysis of genotypic diversity for 8 quantitative agronomic traits in 1971 accessions belonging to the Polish orchardgrass germplasm collection was presented. Evaluation of diversity in the accessions was performed in four steps. In the first step a preliminary analysis of variation was done separately for each trait using descriptive statistics. Then, principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster UPGMA analysis (CA) were used on standardized data for the studied traits. Also, canonical discriminate analysis (CDA) was done to assess discriminating value of the traits to distinguish clusters delivered by CA. Plant height and total seasonal yield were most variable traits among all the traits. The first three principal components explained above 69% of the total variation within the accessions in the collection for the 8 traits. The results of the CDA suggested that plant height and days to inflorescence emergence and flowering were the major discriminatory characteristics for the ten distinguished clusters.
