Abstract:
In order to comprehensively evaluate 25 millet germplasm resources.Twelve main agronomic traits including main stem diameter, grain weight per spike, single spike weight, 1 000-grain weight and yield were selected to comprehensively evaluate the adaptability of millet germplasm in Ili Prefecture of Xinjiang by means of variation coefficient, correlation and principal component analysis.The coefficient of variation of 12 main agronomic traits ranged from 7.20% to 18.55%. The coefficient of variation of stem diameter, main panicle diameter and yield were larger, and the coefficient of variation of 1 000-grain weight and growth period were smaller. There was a correlation between the main agronomic traits of different millet varieties. The yield was significantly positively correlated with single panicle weight, grain weight per panicle and 1 000-grain weight, and significantly negatively correlated with growth period and width of the second leaf from top. The 1 000-grain weight was significantly negatively correlated with the growth period and the width of the second leaf. Principal component analysis was performed on the main agronomic traits, and four principal components were extracted, with a cumulative contribution rate of 81.78%. The order of comprehensive scores of principal components of 25 millet varieties was as follows : Nenxuan 18>ChiyouJinmiao 1>Longgu 13>Jiugu 23>Jinmiao K2>Jigu 22>Nenxuan 15>Zhangzagu 16>Gonggu 88>Jigu 168>Huangjinmiao>Chaogu 58>Datong 29>Zhangzagu 13>Yugu 18> Zhonggu 2>Yugu 35>Changnong 47>Jingu 21>Zhonggu 9>Longgu 38>Longgu 25>Changnong 35>Shanxihonggu>Jigu 39.Nenxuan 18, Chiyoujinmiao 1, Longgu 13, Jiugu 23, Jinmiao K2, Jigu 22 and Nenxuan 15 were suitable for planting in Yili Prefecture, and their principal component scores were basically consistent with the yield performance. The yields were 617.81,550.03,588.03,579.81,564.92,535.36, and 594.92 kg·(667 m~2)
-1 respectively, and growth period was moderate, ranging from 120 days to 144 days.
