The cluster analysis of clones obtained from Aligoté grapevine variety

Abstract

Using Cluster analysis in characterizing the grapevine varieties has determined the establishment of phenotypical similarity degree between the studied clones. The purpose of this paper was to characterize the clones obtained from Aligoté grapevine variety. Applying the Cluster analysis testified that the similitude of the clones from the Aligoté variety was high (the value of the chaining index was of 4419372). The highest phenotypical similitude in adult leaves was found in clones Aligoté -5 Iş and Aligoté-63 Şt (the value of the similitude index was of 1733656). The degree of phenotypical similitude of the Aligoté variety was low, compared to studied clones, the aggregation within the dendrogramme being done at a low similarity degree.
