IDENTIFICATION OF THE SORTS OF BREEDING LINES OF WINTER WHEAT WITH RESPECT TO BALANCENESS OF QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS USING CLUSTER ANALYSIS

Abstract

Identification of sorts and selection lines of winter wheat in cluster analysis allowed to distinguish genotypes of winter wheat in which quantitative characteristics have minimum Euclidean distance between them, and they show a high level of balance of major generative and vegetative signs of yield and productivity. The use of cluster analysis in the process of genotypes identification approaches us to creation of theoretical and practical model  of a winter wheat sort. This winter wheat sort has favorable balance of quantitative and qualitative traits which give a great opportunity to withstand the environment and create high productivity.
