Abstract:

To comprehensively evaluate the main agronomic traits of tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum (L.) Gaertn.) and screen high-quality tartary buckwheat germplasms, 99 varieties of tartary buckwheat, including 51 foreign varieties and 48 domestic varieties, were used as materials in this study. 11 agronomic traits were analyzed by variation analysis, correlation analysis and comprehensive score F value. The results showed that the 11 agronomic traits had significant variation, with the coefficients of variation all greater than 0.1. Yield per plant, grain number per plant, thousand-grain weight and plant height were very significantly positively correlated to grain yield. The principal component analysis showed that the cumulative contribution of the first four principal components was 73.234% and the first principal component was mainly related to the grain number per plant and yield per plant with the highest eigenvector values. In cluster analysis, the 99 tartary buckwheat varieties were divided into six groups, of which 18 varieties of group IV had superior traits and could be utilized as core germplasm resource. Two key traits, grain number per plant and yield per plant, should be emphatically considered in the breeding of tartary buckwheat. 23 high-yielding and high-quality tartary buckwheat varieties were screened out by comprehensive cluster analysis and the comprehensive score F value, of which 12 were introduced varieties.

Key words: tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum (L.) Gaertn.), agronomic traits, grain yield, comprehensive score F value
