Description
Summary:Genetic diversity is a useful tool in gene bank management and breeding experiments like tagging of germless, identification and/or elimination of duplication in the gene stock and establishment of core collections. The present study was envisaged to measure the genetic diversity among the genotypes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and to identify divergent parents for future hybridization programmes of yield improvement. Characters like days to maturity, total pods/plant, 100-seed weight, seed yield/plant can be considered as selection criteria.
