Relationship Between Phenotypic and Genotypic Distances Mantel's correlation between phenotypic and genotypic distance matrices showed highly significant positive correlation ( r = 0.45, P ≤ 0.01) for sorghum, pearl millet ( r = 0.13, p ≤ 0.01), and pigeonpea ( r = 0.19, P ≤ 0.01), thus depicting the effectiveness of complimentary use of molecular and phenotypic tools as a better approach for the assessment of the genetic diversity.
