Discussion

This study analyzes genetic diversity among hibiscus germplasm using PCA and cluster analysis, indicating critical genetic resources for breeding.

The highest diversity was observed in hibiscus variety June’s Joy, suggesting potential for breeding.
Nineteen hibiscus germplasm were classified based on 23 vegetative and floral traits following DUS test guidelines.
Hierarchical cluster analysis revealed four major clusters among species, highlighting genetic relationships.
PCA results supported the cluster patterns, emphasizing the importance of various morphological traits in genetic diversity.

Koley et al. (2025) studied this question.
