Study of genetic diversity in some Iranian plum genotypes based on morphological criteria
Keywords:
plum, qualitative and quantitative criteria, cluster analysis, correlationAbstract
Plums have a great diversity among temperate zone fruit trees. This experiment was conducted to assay the
morphological diversity of 38 Iranian plum genotypes for qualitative and quantitative criteria based on IBPGR
descriptor. Analysis of variance showed that all the traits studied had significant differences indicating the great
variability for every trait. Simple correlation analysis showed significant negative and positive correlations for
some important traits. Factor analysis revealed that fruit and stone shape, flower size and color, fertility range and
flower opening time were related to the main factor components. Effective high lighted criteria were categorized
into five groups accounted for 76% of total variance. Eigen values of more than 6% were considered significant
for each factor. Cluster analysis at 9 distances at, divided genotypes to four main groups. These groups mainly
had differences in stone and fruit shape, self fertility range and stone clinging.
