Abstract:
In order to study the genetic variation and relationships among traits, an experiment was carriedout on 15 genotypes of Carthamus tinctorius L. under field conditions in randomized complete blockdesign with 4 replications in Payam Noor University, Zavareh. Agro-morphological characters,including seed yield/plant, biological yield, number of capitula per plant, number of seed per capitula,1000- grain weight, number of secondary branches, capitula weight, oil yield and harvest index weremeasured. Results of the analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for allstudied traits (p≤ 0.01). High values of phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation wereobtained for most traits, indicating high variability in the traits under study. Seed yield/plant hadsignificant high and positive correlations with capitula number per plant, seed number per capitula,biological yield and oil yield. Principal component analysis showed three factors that justified 94.33%of the total variation. Cluster analysis grouped the 15 genotypes within 4 clusters, each of whichhaving 9, 2, 1 and 3 genotypes. The clustering pattern of the genotypes revealed that geographicdiversity was not related to agronomic diversity. These results could be useful in choosing genotypesfor intercrossing to develop improved cultivars.
