Abstract

Cauliflower (Brassica oleraceae var. botrytis) is a member of the Cruciferae family. It is one of the most important and popular vegetables of cole group, widely cultivated in the country. Since very little information on genetic divergence in early cauliflower is available, the present study was carried out to ascertain nature and magnitude of genetic diversity among 77 germplasm lines of early cauliflower using the D2 statistic. Such a measure will eventually help in planning appropriate breeding programmes and the development of superior varieties/hybrids.
