Genetic diversity among 40 linseed genotypes was assessed using the Mahalanobis D2 statistic, revealing significant variation.
The study identified four clusters based on genetic divergence, with Cluster I containing the highest number of genotypes.
The intra-cluster distance ranged from 10.86 to 12.89, while the inter-cluster distance varied from 14.70 to 22.36.
Findings suggest the potential for improving linseed through selection and hybridization of clusters with diverse origins.
