A hierarchical cluster obtained using farthest neighbor method with phenotypic values of all quality traits evaluated in the present study. Accessions (PIs) were clustered into 2 clusters (High and low quality clusters) and 14 subclusters. The high quality cluster contains 8 subclusters with relatively higher quality. The low quality cluster contains 6 subclusters with relatively lower quality. Two checks, “Saranac” and “Rambler”, susceptible to salt/drought stress were clustered into the high quality cluster (Subclusters 5 and 8, respectively), and three drought/salt resistance checks, “Mesa Sirsa”, “Wilson” and “Malone” were clustered into the low quality cluster (Subcluster 9)
