Abstract

Assessing the genetic diversity of twenty one Colombo limon L. genotypes through multivariate and covariance matrix analysis

Highlights

  • Citrus fruit production is widely popular agricultural activity in the world in respect of nutritional and economic aspect (Maya et al, 2012; Sharma et al, 2015)

  • 3.1 Principal component analysis (PCA) Principal components were computed from the genotype records which were attained from the first component and succeeding components with latent roots

  • Latent vectors of the first two principal components were discussed about the augmentation of the different morphological traits towards divergence

Summary

Introduction

Citrus fruit production is widely popular agricultural activity in the world in respect of nutritional and economic aspect (Maya et al, 2012; Sharma et al, 2015). Through natural and artificial crossing process most of the citrus fruits are develop from four original citrus fruits such as citron, pomelo, mandarin and papeda Some of such species of Citrus include Citrus aurantiifolia, Citrus crenatifolia, Citrus mangshanensis, Citrus medica, Citrus latipes, Citrus reticulate and Citrus trifoliate (Mamede et al, 2020). Availability of genetic materials and vast genetic variation is mandatory for varietal development of any crop For this selection, assembling and determining citrus species of superior quality and high yield is a prerequisite. Regarding continuous embryo transformation and wide reproductive congruity with homogeneous species, enormous genetic variation has been subsisting among all the citrus species which are cultivated (Breto et al, 2001) This heterogeneity, very few research was focused to identify highly productive and good quality colombo lemon germplasm. Contemplating the mentioned importance and abundance of citrus fruits in Narsingdi region, the present investigation was conducted to study the genetic diversity of colombo lemon
