Abstract. Widyawan MB, Hasanah A, Taryono, Alam T, Sayekti RS, Pramana AAC, Wulandari RA. 2020. Multivariate analysis unravels genetic diversity and relationship between agronomic traits, protein, and dietary fiber in yardlong bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis Verdc.). Biodiversitas 21: 5662-5671. Yardlong bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis Verdc.) is a vegetable legume that possesses the highest amount of protein and total dietary fiber (TDF) content among other vegetables. However, protein and TDF content diversity are found among yardlong bean genotypes. Genetic improvement to produce cultivars with high yield and improved nutritional content is required. This study aimed to analyze genetic diversity and identify the relationship between important agronomic traits from 21 yardlong bean genotypes assessed by multivariate statistical analysis. The experiment was arranged in alpha design with three replicates, each consist of six blocks. Six pod-related important agronomic traits, protein, and TDF content were observed in this study. Total pod weight, pod weight, and pod length were found to be negatively correlated with protein and TDF content based on correlation and principal component analysis (PCA). Although negatively correlated, several variables possess a large and positive direct effect on protein and TDF content, such as the number of pod, pod weight, and days to flower. D2 analysis and Tocher’s method classify genotypes used in this study into five clusters with diverse traits value. Information from this study laid a foundation for the improvement of important agronomic traits as well as nutritional content in yardlong bean.

Rice Selection Criteria Based on Morphological and Image-Based Phenotyping Under Drought- And Salinity-Stress Conditions

“…PCA is a statistical technique that linearly changes the form of a set of original variables into a smaller set of uncorrelated ones that can represent information from the original set of variables (Dunteman, 1989). This analysis can map the variance of the initial data in the form of a new dimension or variable (Fadhli et al, 2020;Farid et al, 2020;Widyawan et al, 2020) so that the determination of the variance pattern of each group can be identified. Based on this research, all selection environments overlapped or interacted with each other.…”

Soil quality measurement for sustainable soybean yield agroforestry system under different crop rotation models

“…The relationships between the soil quality variables and soybean yield were analyzed using generalized pairs plots and heatmap clusters (Ambarwati et al 2022;Widyawan et al 2020). The final screening of the soil quality variables that affected soybean yield was made using standardized stepwise regression (Alam et al 2020a;Putra et al 2021;Ruslanjari et al 2020;Suryanto et al 2020a;Suryanto et al 2020c).…”

Variation in leaf characters and agronomical traits of Yard-long bean genotypes between Dimocarpus longan and Psidium guajava stand

“…sesquipedalis) is one of the most familiar horticulture crops commonly known as asparagus bean, Chinese long bean, long-podded cowpea, pea bean, or snake bean (Vivalapali et al 2014;Pidigam et al 2021). Yard-long bean is an important vegetable commodity in Indonesia because yardlong beans per capita consumption are almost three times higher than other legumes (Widyawan et al 2020). The Yard-long bean belonging to the family Fabaceae is a distinctive subspecies of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.…”
