DUS characterization of indigenous and exotic soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] germplasm in North Western Himalayas
Keywords:
DUS, genetic resources, germplasm, SoybeanAbstract
Distinctness, Uniformity, and Stability (DUS) characterization plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate identification and differentiation of plant varieties and genotypes. In the present study, 320 indigenous and exotic soybean accessions were morphologically characterized using 20 DUS descriptors during kharif, 2022. The characters viz., flower color, anthocyanin pigmentation, pod pubescence, and growth habit were identified as prominent for identification of a variety. Principal component analysis revealed that the initial two components explained 24.47% of the overall multi variate variation. Cluster analysis identified four distinct clusters with 16, 14, 267, and 23 genotypes, signifying substantial diversity within the germplasm. This knowledge of frequency distribution analysis under the framework of DUS characterization will guide researchers in taking decisions, ensuring varietal stability and upholding the integrity of plant variety protection systems along with facilitating the characterization, preservation and utilization of beneficial genes in the germplasm for soybean improvement.
