The development of high yielding genotypes of maize is greatly influenced by the features that are associated with yield and yield components. The Jigjiga Pastoral and Agricultural Research Center's main experimental station was the study site for twenty-four open pollinated maiz...
Aims: The use of multivariate techniques is an important strategy for germplasm classification and study of genetic relationships among genotypes. This study was designed to evaluate using multivariate analysis the genetic divergence among 112 garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) g...
