Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation The maize inbred lines were grouped into five distinct non-overlapping clusters based on D2 analysis.
- Observation Cluster II comprised the highest number of inbred lines.
- Observation Clusters III and IV included the lowest number of inbred lines.
- Association The inter-cluster distance was higher than the intra-cluster distance.
- Observation The highest inter-cluster distance was between clusters II and V (D2 = 15.40).
- Observation The lowest inter-cluster distance was between clusters I and II (D2 = 2.82).
- Observation Cluster II had the highest mean values for cob length and cob diameter.
- Observation Cluster V had the highest mean values for number of grains per cob and total grain weight.
- Observation Cluster II had the lowest mean values for plant height and ear height.
- Observation Cluster IV had the lowest mean values for days to pollen shedding and days to silking.
- Observation Number of rows per cob and number of grains per cob showed the maximum contribution to total divergence.
