Abstract
A study was conducted on “Characterization of coriander genotypes” to
identify sixty genotypes under study. Plant morphological characters like plant growth
habit, leaf tip, number of umbels per plant, yield per plant (g) were found to be the
most important diagnostic characters for cultivar identification in coriander. Some
seed morphological characters like test weight, seed colour, seed ridges and seed
shape were also found helpful to differentiate the coriander cultivars. The differential
response of coriander genotypes to chemical test - phenol test was found to be very
effective for genotype identification. The schematic diagram on the basis of some
important morphological traits has higher resolution in terms of differentiating among
genotypes. The schematic diagrams based on seed and chemical test are also very
useful for identification of genotypes.
