Abstract
Yellow carrot (Daucus carota L.var. sativus) is one of the rooty vegetable native to Iran which, Its use in food and drug has ancient history. Due to the importance of this vegetable, genetic diversity of nine Iranian carrot accessions were evaluated in this study, using morphological traits which included 12 qualitative traits, 18 quantitative traits and mineral nutrition. The results of quantitative traits revealed that Esfehan accession (1638.9 gr/m 2 ) and Kerman (1650.9 gr/m 2 ) were accounted for the highest yield average than the other accessions. Also from the view point of qualitative traits, root color in Shoshtar accession was purple and Esfehan accession had red root and yellow root were observed in the other accessions. Percentage of the total cumulative variance for the five main components of morphological characters was 88.17. Cluster analysis based on morphological characters put yellow carrot accessions into three groups. * Corresponding Author: Zeynab Mehrabi zeynabmehrabi1@gmail.com
