Summary
Proposed is a technique for establishing a representative core set of the South Asian okra germplasm collection maintained at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources. The validity of the technique was confirmed by applying it to a well characterised sample data set of 260 accessions of diverse geographical origin utilizing qualitative and quantitative descriptors. A sample core set of 53 accessions was extracted.
