Assessment of genetic diversity is necessary for any breeding programme to increase world’s food by gathering different favorable genes resulted from segregant generations. The present study was designed to find diversity patterns among fourteen lines of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Nine quantitative traits were determined phenotypically. Moreover grain properties and nutritional quality were also determined by laboratory procedures. Cluster analysis based on squared Euclidean distance and ward's linkage method, categorized the cultivars into four groups. Based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA), the first seven components explained over 88% of genetic variation. Cluster analysis based on PCA using the first seven principal components indicated four separate groups of genotypes, with the maximum genetic distance observed between genotypes in each cluster.
