Mahalanobis D² Analysis of Genetic Divergence in Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) for Selecting Suitable Parents in Hybridization
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is an important grain legume and oilseed crop, and sustained genetic improvement depends on the availability and effective utilisation of diverse germplasm. Assessment of multivariate phenotypic divergence can assist in identifying complementary parents for hybridisation and broadening...
