Abstract: Genetic diversity was studied in 61 white seeded type sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) accessions including 4 checks for 9 agro- morphological and 4 biochemical traits under field conditions by cluster and principal component analyses. Accessions were grown in the research field of JN Agricultural University, campus College of Agriculture, Tikamgarh, India in a plot size of 2.0 x 1.50 m2 (3 rows with 45 cm row x row spacing). Cluster analysis divided the total 61 accessions into eight different non-overlapping clusters during both the years of study i.e. 2015 and 2016. Data based on first and second years, PCs with Eigene value higher that 1.0 contributed 76.33% and 71.75% of the variability amongst accessions, respectively. Cluster pattern demonstrated sufficient diversity among the sesame accessions for various morphological and biochemical traits and some extent of association between different clusters. The results concluded that morpho-biochemical diversity in the studied material is governed by cumulative effect of a number of traits rather than the contribution of few specific traits and this diversity could well be utilized for future breeding strategies and germplasm conservation programs.
