Studies on Morpho: Genetic variation of okra

Abstract

The present study reveals thirty six genetically diverse genotypes of Okra were used to find out the similarities and differences on morphological traits. Among all the genotypes only twenty seven succeeded to germinate. A dendrogram was observed to determine the relationship between the genotypes. Accordingly, one pair of genotypes showed similarity which is the least percent of similarity between any two genotypes in Okra population. Five genotypes of short growth habit, less fruit length and vast fruit diameter grouped under one linkage. All the data obtained disclosed that the genotypes significantly varied from each other. Okra genotypes; 000025 and 000026 produced strong branches with fruits near to the ground, but gave high yield to get a best type of okra varieties having high yield for commercial productions.
