Abstract
The coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is one of the major oilseeds of India. In the present study, an attempt has been made to analyse coconut diversity using isozyme banding data. Cluster analysis was performed using the banding patterns obtained from polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for 11 isozyme systems in 40 different coconut cultivars and six hybrids and their parents. The cultivars grouped mainly into six clusters. In case of hybrids and their parents, the hybrids clustered intermediate between parents.
