Abstract

Genetic divergence analysis among forty three clones of lemongrass, Cymbopogon flexuosus [Steud {Wats}] was carried out through study of tiller number, plant height, leaf length, leaf width, leaf sheeth, leaf sheeth, leaf blade, leaf yield, oil content and oil yield in research farm of field station Pant Nagar of Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, Lucknow. All the clones were grouped in nine clusters. AH-10-19 did not cluster with any clone and formed a separate cluster. Intracluster distance was highest for cluster I which included largest number of clones. Cluster IX has shown largest intercluster distance with cluster VII followed by cluster VI, cluster II, cluster IV and III. With an aim to get maximum chance of transgressive segregants, developing of polycross among AH-10-19 and one clone from each cluster, V, VII, VI and I was suggested.
