Genetic diversity and efficiency in predicting sweet pepper (<em>Capsicum annuum</em> L.) hybrids behavior
Abstract
The genetic diversity among six sweet pepper lines in relation to eight growth and nutritional traits was evaluated by multivariate analysis techniques (Mahalanobis’ D2ii' distances, Tocher’s grouping analysis and dispersion graphic analysis). Based on the D2ii' distances estimated, the relation between predicted genetic dissimilarity and the hybrid total dry matter mean, heterosis and specific combining ability in the F1 hybrids, was also evaluated by Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation coefficients. There was a wide genetic variability, evidencing the lines P-141-152-F14, P-142-403-F11 and P-141-190-F16 by dissimilarity between themselves and in relation to the group. Positive (>0,50) and significant correlation coefficients (P < 0,05) were detected between D2ii' and heterosis and specific combining ability, indicating that the genetic distance, estimated by multivariate procedure, is a highly efficient methodology for choosing promising combinations in breeding programs.Downloads
