“…Clusters with two genotypes each, indicated an independent identity and importance, due to various unique characters possessed by the genotypes. Similar observations were reported by Prasad et al (2004) and Reddy et al (2012) wherein intra cluster distance values was reported to be in the range of 0.00 to 85.51 in muskmelon. Tomar et al (2008) also reported intra cluster distance values in the range of 0.00 to 41.24.…”

“…Most of these traits are directly related to yield, fruit quality and earliness and grouping based on these traits will be more effective for germplasm utilization in future breeding programme. The result was in agreement to earlier study by Reddy et al (2012) wherein it was reported that total soluble solids, seed yield, days to appearance of first staminate flower, average fruit weight contributed maximum towards divergence and 35 genotypes was classified into 6 groups. Singh and Lal (2000) classified 51 diverse genotypes of muskmelon for yield and yieldrelated traits and grouped them into 13 clusters.…”

An experiment was carried out to analyze genetic divergence through multivariate analysis based on D2 and principal component analysis (PCA) for 24 yield contributing traits among 67 muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes from 3 horticultural groups. The 67 genotypes were grouped into 15 distinct clusters. Cluster I consisted of 27 exotic lines from inodorous and cantalupensis group followed by cluster XIVwith 14 genotypes. Majority of genotypes of cluster XIV were developed in India except 4 exotic lines. The remaining13 clusters comprised of only 2 genotypes each and thus clustering pattern indicated enough genetic divergence in the germplasm under study. The highest value of intra cluster distance (43. 68) was found for cluster XV with 2 genotypes followed by XIV (38. 35) possessing 14 genotypes and cluster I (31. 07) having 27 genotypes. The highest inter cluster distance was observed between cluster XV and XIV (42. 24), followed by the cluster XV and XI (40. 70) and cluster XV and VI (40. 48). The first 3 principal components accounted for majority (53. 77%) of the total variation. The traits which contributed positively to PC1 were days to first male flower opening, average fruit weight, fruit length, cavity length and yield per plant. The high yielding muskmelon genotypes with better fruit quality traits like DM-31, DM-145, DM-159 and DM-162 from inodorous group of Cluster I and Pusa Madhuras (Cluster VII), Kashi Madhu, Punjab Sunheri, Hara Madhu (Cluster XIV) from cantalupensis group should be utilized for hybrid development between two horticultural groups to incorporate theyield and desirable fruit quality traits from both groups.

“…The progeny derived from such diverse crosses are expected to have wide spectrum of genetic variability, providing a greater scope for isolating transgressive segregants in advanced generations. Hence, these genotypes might be used in a multiple crossing programme to recover transgressive segregants (Reddy et al 2012).…”

“…Papayee S-1, IC 321371, Kundan, Muskan and Arka Jeet, being diverse from others may serve as potential parents for breeding programmes. They indicate their independent identity and importance due to various unique characters possessed by them (Rukam et al 2008 andReddy et al 2017).…”

The present investigation was carried out during 2014-15 and 2015–16 at Horticultural Research Station, Ananthrajupet, DRYSRHU, Andhra Pradesh to assess the genetic diversity in muskmelon, Cucumis melo. Genetic divergence evaluated using Mahalanobis D2 analysis revealed less to moderate diversity among fourty two genotypes. The cluster analysis of muskmelon exhibited a moderate clustering pattern and grouped genotypes into five distinct clusters with maximum of 37 genotypes in cluster I, two in cluster IV and one in each of cluster II, III and V. The highest inter-cluster distance (80.61) between Cluster III and IV indicating the genotypes of these clusters may give heterotic response and leads to better segregants. Among the morphological traits studied, fruit length (23.69%), pulp thickness (17.07%) and fruit girth (16.84%) contributed major share in the divergence of the genotypes which can be utilized for selection of individual genotypes for future crop improvement programme. Most of the genotypes accommodated into single cluster, probably they may share genetic similarity. The genotypes Papayee S-1, IC 321371, Kundan, Muskan and Arka Jeet, being divergent from others may serve as potential parents for breeding programmes.
