Genetic diversity in germplasm of vetiver grass, Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash ex Small

Genetic divergence among 45 accesssions of vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides) assembled from India, Indonesia, and Reunion Island were quantified by multivariate analyses for plant height, tillers/plant, leaf width, root length, root girth, fresh root yield, dry root yield, root oil content, and oil yi...

Description
Summary:Genetic divergence among 45 accesssions of vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides) assembled from India, Indonesia, and Reunion Island were quantified by multivariate analyses for plant height, tillers/plant, leaf width, root length, root girth, fresh root yield, dry root yield, root oil content, and oil yield. All accessions could be grouped in seven clusters. Root yield and plant height contributed the maximum divergence at the primary axis and secondary axis of differentiation, respectively. Of the accessions, three had distinct identities. Heritability estimates were over 90 percent for all characters studied, indicating selection was possible. Desirable clones for hybridization were identified as promising genotypes for oil yield and soil conservation.
