Genetic diversity and correlation network approach on cotton genotypes in southern of Minas Gerais

ABSTRACT The cultivation of Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is trending in an upward expansion at Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Due this growth, the breeding program has been demanded for the knowledge about the genetic diversity and correlation between morpho-agronomic traits, to start interesting crosses. The objective of this work was to study the genetic diversity and the correlation network between morpho-agronomic traits of cotton genotypes. Two cotton accessions and five commercial cultivars: FM993, FMT701, FM910, DP604 and DP604BG were evaluated for 16 traits. The results revealed divergence...
