Abstract:

To fully dig excellent wide handle mustard resources, twenty wide handle mustard germplasm resources were used as the materials to identify their agronomic traits and nutritional quality traits, and the comprehensive evaluation of them were conducted by principal component analysis and cluster analysis. The results showed that all the agronomic and nutritional quality traits exhibited certain differences in different resources. Variation coefficients of agronomic traits ranged from 8.57% to 35.89%, and that of nutritional quality traits ranged from 7.91% to 26.92%. Among the agronomic traits, variation coefficients of thickness of petiole and midrib (PMT) and fresh weight of petiole and midrib (PMFW) were the highest, and among the nutritional quality traits, that of free amino acid and total flavonoid were the highest, indicating that these traits had great difference in different resources and were with great potential to be improved. Correlation analysis showed that there was different degree of relevance between each trait. Except soluble sugar content, every trait was significantly correlated with at least one another trait. By principal component analysis, all the 17 traits could be gathered into 6 principal components which could explain 87.193% of the phenotypic variation. According to the comprehensive score of each material, Baobaoqingcai No.1 was showed as the best germplasm resource, followed by Huayeqingcai and Texuankuanyeqing. Based on cluster analysis, all the twenty materials could be classified into 5 groups. Resources in the first and the fourth groups performed well in most of the agronomic traits, exhibiting the potential to breed high-yield varieties, and resources in the second and third groups performed well in some nutritional quality traits, which could be used in the breeding direction of high nutritional quality varieties, while resources in the fifth group performed the worst and showed low utilized prospect.
