Twenty one different varieties of chrysanthemum were selected for the characterization of all species that will help in the varietal selection programme for commercial breeding. All chrysanthemum varieties were analyzed by using two parameters e.g. morphological and molecular parameters. After molecular characterization phylogenetic relationship among all selected varieties was accessed through computer based software DNAMAN that allows the breeder to choose the parentage which is most reliable for the selection of clones before breeding activities.For morphological characterization the plant...
