| Popis: |
In 2009 the field experiments with the Czech varieties of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) were established on the two experiment areas. The evaluation took place in 2010 and 2011 in the small plots and in the individual outplanting. The size one plot was 10 m2. The main objective was to determine the similarities in the Czech collection. The morphological, yields, and biological traits were evaluated. The same varieties were evaluated using SSR markers. The Clusters analyses with the morphological and yields traits divided the set of alfalfas to the two groups and individual group with only one variety Palava. The Cluster analyse created with SSR markers divided the set also to the two groups and individual group with Jitka variety. The result of the both analyses was the similarity between Morava and Niva. In addition the intra-varietal variability was evaluated. A low intra-varietal variability was found out in cultivars Jarka, Holyna and Morava. On the other hand, however, the cultivar 'Litava' showed a high degree of imbalance. Using the correlation coefficients were found the close relationships between the characters, a direct correlation between the traits "the length of the stem" and "the number of the pods in the inflorescence". The absolute independence was found between "the length of the inflorescence" and "the number of pods per 100 flowers". |
