Genetic Diversity of Rumex spp. accessions according to morphological traits %K Rumex %K Cluster %K Classification %K Marker %K Morphology %R %X Many Rumex L., species are used as herbs or medicines. Species of this genus are rich in ascorbic acid, oxalic acid, phenolic acid, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, anthraquinone, naphthalene, sterol, and trypthenes. Considering the importance of this research, in order to study the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of 54 masses of Rumex, using morphological traits in a completely randomized design. 20 quantitative and qualitative traits were measured and recorded. Based on the comparison of the mean of measured traits, it was observed that the maximum length of the flatness belongs to the mass 54 and the lowest value is 41. Also, important traits such as leaf length, leaf width, petiole diameter and chlorophyll content were most diverse. The results of factor analysis, the first three factors, explained a total of 24.25% of the total variance, which could be effective in separating the masses. Different populations in 5 to 25 groups were classified into three groups. The use of traits in grouping traits showed that the use of these traits is a very good criterion for grouping this large number of traits. According to the results of this study, it seems that the masses 24, 22, 18, and 19 can be identified by having a higher number of plants per plant, a large number of leaves and a petiole standing, the best of the masses for the measured traits. %U https://plant.ijbio.ir/article_1534_349c09bef2442627f16149c56b81ae1d.pdf
