Genetic similarity and difference in various genotypes of stevia (Stevia Rebaudiana B.)

The Cluster analysis in this study is used to identify the different genotypes and give the selection a recommendation for their use in the work in future. On the basis of a cluster analysis it is possible to make the following selection recommendations: in the selection program for obtaining high yield of total green mass the genotypes, №2, №3 and SR 27 can be included; for high yield of dry mass of leaves - 1E, №2 , 8E and CP 27, the genotypes 1/1, 2E and 8E can be included in the selection program for high content of steviod; as a task for the selection of plants with high content of rebaudizid A- 1E, 2E and 1/1, respectively
