Abstract

Breeding for high yield crop needs information on the nature and magnitude of variation in the available materials, relationship of yield with other agronomic characters and the degree of environmental influence on the expression of these components characters. Multivariate analyses such as cluster and principal component analysis measures the amount of genetic variability in respect of several characters and assesses the relative contribution of different traits to the total variation. This study was conducted with the aim of identifying better performing black cumin genotypes and related traits with the help of principal component analysis and cluster analysis of major quantitative traits of the crop In principal component analysis, The first four principal component axes (PCAs) accounted 70.62% of the total variability in which PCA1 contributed 28.43%, and PCA2, PCA3, and PCA4 exhibited 18.91%, 13.30%, and 9.98% contribution to the total variability, respectively. Cluster analysis based on Euclidian distance grouped the genotypes into 10 distinct clusters. Some of the genotypes that have narrow genetic base were grouped into a similar cluster. Based on these results, it may be concluded that some of the genotypes are highly diverse while most of the genotypes are similar in nature. Genotypes from the distinct cluster should be used for obtaining diverse recombinants in segregating generations, exploiting variety, and broaden the genetic base of the black cumin germplasm.
