Discussion

Cluster and principal component analyses reveal yield potential in 24 wheat genotypes, suggesting genetic diversity is crucial for breeding.

Cluster analysis grouped 24 wheat genotypes into four major clusters, showing significant divergence.
The second cluster with two genotypes demonstrated better yield potential compared to the fourth cluster.
Principal component analysis revealed that four principal components explained 89.68% of total variability.
Future breeding programs in wheat can utilize these findings to select for higher yield varieties.

V.K et al. (2013) studied this question.
