Kan vi tale om krig gennem virkelighedsteater?
Authors: Krøgholt Ida , Christoffersen Erik Exe
Published: November 2022

Kan vi tale om krig gennem virkelighedsteater? er et essay af Ida Krøgholt og Erik Exe Christoffersen, som behandler forestillingerne Hjemvendt (Aalborg teater, Borgerscenen 2015) og Christian Lollike’s I føling. En krigsballet (København/Aarhus 2014-15). Essayets anliggende er at vise, hvordan det private og singulære bliver almengjort i ’virkelighedsteater’. Når aktører, som dokumenterer den rå virkelighed, rammesættes i teaterkunstens formsprog, kan der opstå kommunikation om det, vi som kultur ellers ikke kan tale om.

Hotel Pro Forma in a European context
Authors: Bener Theresa
Published: November 2022

In the following Bener discuss some examples of how the aesthetics of Kirsten Dehlholm and Hotel Pro Forma relate to  tendencies in the European performing arts. All established stage auteurs of course have their unique artistic idiom, so although we can detect certain correspondences and similarities between Dehlholm and other artists, they will only concern specific aspects.
The Haunted Hotel
Authors: Dithmer Monna
Published: November 2022

There is something about the bodies at Hotel Pro Forma, something mysteriously elusive and unassailable. They appear with a cool remoteness and an insistent presence. They look directly at us, and they confront us.

It is striking how many of the performances are explicitly set in the transitional zone between life and death as an exploration of another form of existence. Hotel Pro Forma is populated by a multitude of living dead, apparently dead, or dreamlike existences, none of which would seem to belong either here or in the beyond, but which insist on haunting the stage.

* ‘Det her skal alle da opleve’
Authors: Danbolt Mathias , Myong Lene
Published: November 2022

The article analyzes the self-declared anti-racist performance project Med Andre Øjne (MAØ) [Through Different Eyes], which since 2011 has served as a sought-after diversity tool in Denmark. The purpose of MAØ is, through the use of racial and gendered transformations, to allow participants to ‘put themselves in the other’s place’ in order to produce empathy and compassion. Through a critical analysis of MAØ’s invitation to embody and appropriate the experience of racialized minorities in order to engage questions of everyday racism, the article highlights the limits of empathy as an anti-racist methodology, while arguing that MAØ reproduces a depoliticized understanding of racism that reduces anti-racism to individualized self-transformation.

Grønlands Teaterhistorie – på vej

For første gang foreligger der med denne publikation et bud på en afdækning af Grønlands teaterhistorie.

Grønlands teaterhistorie er meget omfattende og kan dateres tilbage til 1820rne. Landets teaterhistorie tegnes af såvel skrevne som mundtlige kilder. Ligeledes består Grønlands teaterhistorie af en udbredt praksis med performativ fortællekultur. De involverede skuespillere og performere, amatører såvel som professionelle, udgør samlet set en form for kompleks tradition, hvis repertoire fortsætter i nyere tid.

I Grønlands Teaterhistorie – på vej præsenterer redaktionsgruppen, som kommer fra Norge, Danmark og Grønland, sammen med flere andre bidragsydere forskellige sider ved grønlandsk teater- og performance. Med vægt på en historiografisk fremstilling af den grønlandske teaterhistorie søger udgivelsen at rette en større opmærksomhed på dette kæmpe kultur- og kunstlandskab, som gennem 200 år har bidraget til styrkelse af den grønlandske kultur.
Teatervitenskapen og det romlige
Authors: Graffer Sidsel
Published: November 2022

Performativ scenografi forstått som romlig iscenesettelse utøvd innenfor teaterinstitusjoner og teaterarkitektur utfordrer teatervitenskapen til å inkludere perspektiver fra performance studies, og til å inngå i interdisiplinære samarbeid hvor den situerer seg tett på, men likevel i kritisk distanse til scenekunstpraksis. Bare slik kan den adressere en komplisert og presserende problemstilling som autonomikonvensjonen i scenografi og teaterarkitektur.

Performative scenography understood as spatial staging conducted within theatre institutions and theatre architecture challenges Theatre Studies to include perspectives from Performance Studies, to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration, and to situate itself close, yet within a critical distance to performing arts practice. From this position, Theatre Studies may fruitfully address complex questions such as the convention of autonomy in today’s scenography and theatre architecture.
Er det bare teater?
Authors: Freng Dale Ragnhild
Published: November 2022

Norges første klimasøksmål foregikk for åpen scene i Oslo tingrett i 2017, og skapte intens debatt om hvorvidt miljøsaker hører hjemme i en rettssal. Regjeringsadvokaten kalte forestillingen en «miljøpolitisk forestilling», mens andre aktører skrev at rettssalen også er en scene, tydeliggjort gjennom iscenesettelsen av Århundrets rettssak som forestilling i regi av Morten Traavik. Denne artikkelen diskuterer vekselvirkningene og friksjonen mellom saksøkerne, petroleumsinteressene og rettssalen og undersøker hvordan skillet mellom kunst og teater flyttet seg underveis i prosessen.

Norway’s first climate lawsuit took place in the Oslo District Court in 2017. As a public event, it created an intense debate over whether environmental issues belong in a courtroom. The Attorney General called it an ‘environmental-political performance’. Others pointed out that the courtroom is also a stage, which was further highlighted by Trial of the Century, a staging of the courtcase by the Norwegian director and theatremaker Morten Traavik. This article discusses the interactions and frictions between the plaintiffs, the petroleum interests and the courtroom events, and highlights the shifting boundaries between art and reality.
Opplevelsens teater som forskningsfelt
Authors: Arntzen Knut Ove
Published: November 2022

Artikkelen er en introduksjon til et metaforisk perspektiv på teaterforskning i skjæringspunktet mellom teori og praksis. Den er et forslag til hvordan en kan reflektere over praksis i lys av den personlige opplevelsen og betrakterens blikk. Metaforer og encyklopedisk uorden sees i et geokulturelt perspektiv. Det blir gitt en teaterhistoriografisk innfallsvinkel som tar høyde for det estetiske såvel som det personlige engasjementet. Artikkelen konkluderer med at kunstfaglig forskning må ta høyde for en dialog mellom kunst og vitenskap.

This article is an introduction to a metaphorical perspective in theatre research in the crossroad between theory and practice. It proposes how one can reflect upon practise in light of personal experiences. Metaphors and encyclopedic disorder can be seen in a geo-cultural perspective. It leads to a historiography taking into consideration that the aesthetic can be seen in conjunction with the personal. The article concludes with saying that artistic research has to be based in a dialogue between art and science.

Circling the Circulatory
Authors: Checchia Viviana
Published: November 2022

This article offers a new term, ‘circulatory’ to foreground curatorial and artistic practices predicated on processual, interlacing strategies of public-becoming. The circulatory is evident in such practices neither ‘before’ nor ‘after’ but amidst a temporal, and often durational, interlinking of enquiry, making, and sharing, each element informed anew by the situation, locality, field of enquiry, and ambitions for dissemination. With reference to select examples, the circulatory is offered as a concept and practice and as a method of evaluating the efficacy of connection between all elements of artistic work on a trajectory from inception, through realisation, to becoming public.

Interaktion og iscenesættelse
Authors: Thygesen Mads
Published: November 2022

Thygesen conducts a critical examination of the notion of interaction in (contemporary) theatre through an examination of the terms ‘staging’ and ‘performance’. The terms, Thygesen argues, originate from two separate historic and analytic discourses and must consequently be exponents for two different perspectives on how to view, understand and respond to theatre.

Teatralitet og performativitet
Authors: Kjølner Torunn
Published: November 2022

This article presents an overview of different bodies of research in the field of theatre science. Asking who does what with the concepts of performativity and theatricality it demonstrates how internal scientific battles as to the legitimization of theatre science or as to the preferred types of theatre are fought. It is argued that both concepts should be available for the pragmatic discussion of how theatre makes its effects, avoiding the traps of essentialism. The theatrical theatre will highlight the effects that can be rehearsed and used in front of the audience. A theatre oriented towards the performative will insist on the creativity of the moment, the presence to be captured.

Lytning og læsning som kreative processer?
Authors: Stougaard Pedersen Birgitte
Published: November 2022

Is it possible to understand the acts of listening and reading as creative processes and if so, which types of knowledge do these acts generate? By collocating the creativity thinkers Christopher Frayling and Niels Lehmann(and through him, Edward de Bono), the paper presents a phenomenologically inspired method that understands listening and reading as creative processes. One of the points of the paper is to investigate if and how creativity thinking is perhaps imbued with implicit dimensions like spatiality and non-linearity.

Birgitte Stougaard Pedersen drøfter, hvordan kunstneriske og videnskabelige praksisformer kan relateres uden at medieres. Med artiklen indtager Stougaard Nielsen en fænomenologisk position, som bl.a. slår til lyd for, at lyttestrategier kan struktureres metodisk – med kreative greb – som ‘rand’semantiske, fænomenologiske dimensioner. Artiklen undersøger operative og teoretiske aspekter af kreative læse- og lyttestrategier og drøfter muligheden for at træde ind i og ud af rollen som fænomenologisk lyttende betragter.
Kreative tragikere
Authors: Christoffersen Erik Exe
Published: November 2022

The focus of this paper is on a set of creative contraint strategies conceived and used by Mogens Rukov, head of The National Film School of Denmark (Den Danske Filmskole), as well as directors Lars von Trier and Jørgen Leth. As an example of the creative function of arbitrary gaming rules, or creative constraints, the paper presents and analyses a joint movie by Trier and Leth, The Five Obstructions (2003). The paper further argues that obstructions are vital to creative processes in both project organisation and management in general.

Christoffersen analyserer de kreative begrænsningsstrategier, der er blevet brugt og udtænkt af leder af manuskriptuddannelsen på Den Danske Filmskole, Mogens Rukov, og af instruktørerne Lars von Trier og Jørgen Leth. Endvidere analyseres Trier og Leths film De fem benspænd (2003) for dens brug af arbitrære spilleregler i en kreativ proces. Christoffersen ser dels benspænds-æstetikken som udtryk for en tragikers kreative taktik og dels som det såkaldte projektmenneskes taktiske håndtering af projektsamfundets udfordringer.

Analysis of physical mechanism of beam crosstalk in semiconductor laser array spectral-beam-combined system

Published: November 2022

In spectral beam combining systems based on a grating-external cavity, due to some factors such as the “smile” effect of the semiconductor laser array and the error of the optical components in the external cavity, the beam from one emitter transmits into the external cavity and then can return to other emitters, thereby forming beam crosstalk between the two emitters. In this work, in order to investigate the physical mechanism of beam crosstalk and the influence of beam crosstalk on beam properties such as locked spectra and beam combining efficiency, based on the optical feedback semiconductor rate equation, the beam modes that can stably oscillate in the coupling cavity are derived, and the coupling cavity oscillating model is built. With the consideration of the mode competition mechanism in the coupling cavity, the effects of different crosstalk between two emitters with different intervals on the locked spectra are analyzed in detail. The results show that crosstalk leads to the shift of the peak of locked spectrum and the generation of sub-peak. The crosstalk between two closer emitters has a more serious influence on the beam spectrum structure, combined beam spot, and combining efficiency. The combining efficiencies influencing the 1st, 2nd and 3rd crosstalk are 45.5%, 50.2%, and 63.8%, respectively (When there is no crosstalk, the efficiency is 80.1%). Finally, the results of the theoretical analysis are verified experimentally, and the experimentally observed spectra under the influence of crosstalk show phenomena such as peak degradation, peak shift, edge burrs, and side lobes in spectra, which are consistent with the theoretical predictions. Moreover, according to the simulation results and experimental observations, it is found that the crosstalk can be suppressed to a certain extent by increasing the spacing between emitters, and the Galileo telescope system is suggested to suppress crosstalk and optimize the spectral structure and beam combining efficiency. Compared with the Kepler telescope structure, the Galileo telescope does not have a real focal point, which can prevent the local power from being too high, thereby damaging the optical components.
Educating for the Anthropocene
Authors: Sutoris Peter
Published: November 2022

The work of environmental educators and activists in India and South Africa offers new models for schooling and environmental activism.

Education has never played as critical a role in determining humanity's future as it does in the Anthropocene, an era marked by humankind's unprecedented control over the natural environment. Drawing on a multisited ethnographic project among schools and activist groups in India and South Africa, Peter Sutoris explores education practices in the context of impoverished, marginal communities where environmental crises intersect with colonial and racist histories and unsustainable practices. He exposes the depoliticizing effects of schooling and examines cross-generational knowledge transfer within and beyond formal education. Finally, he calls for the bridging of schooling and environmental activism, to find answers to the global environmental crisis.

The onset of the Anthropocene challenges the very definition of education and its fundamental goals, says Sutoris. Researchers must look outside conventional models and practices of education for inspiration if education is to live up to its responsibilities at this critical time. For decades, environmental activist movements in some countries have wrestled with questions of responsibility and action in the face of environmental destruction; they inhabited the mental world of the Anthropocene before much of the rest of the world. Sutoris highlights an innovative research methodology of participatory observational filmmaking, describing how films made by children in the Indian and South African communities provide a window into the ways that young people make sense of the future of the Anthropocene. It is through their capacity to imagine the world differently, Sutoris argues, that education can reinvent itself.
How Knowledge Grows
Authors: Haufe Chris
Published: November 2022

An argument that the development of scientific practice and growth of scientific knowledge are governed by Darwin's evolutionary model of descent with modification.

Although scientific investigation is influenced by our cognitive and moral failings as well as all of the factors impinging on human life, the historical development of scientific knowledge has trended toward an increasingly accurate picture of an increasing number of phenomena. Taking a fresh look at Thomas Kuhn's 1962 work, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, in How Knowledge Grows Chris Haufe uses evolutionary theory to explain both why scientific practice develops the way it does and how scientific knowledge expands. This evolutionary model, claims Haufe, helps to explain what is epistemically special about scientific knowledge: its tendency to grow in both depth and breadth.

Kuhn showed how intellectual communities achieve consensus in part by discriminating against ideas that differ from their own and isolating themselves intellectually from other fields of inquiry and broader social concerns. These same characteristics, says Haufe, determine a biological population's degree of susceptibility to modification by natural selection. He argues that scientific knowledge grows, even across generations of variable groups of scientists, precisely because its development is governed by Darwinian evolution. Indeed, he supports the claim that this susceptibility to modification through natural selection helps to explain the epistemic power of certain branches of modern science. In updating and expanding the evolutionary approach to scientific knowledge, Haufe provides a model for thinking about science that acknowledges the historical contingency of scientific thought while showing why we nevertheless should trust the results of scientific research when it is the product of certain kinds of scientific communities.
Richard Riemerschmid's Extraordinary Living Things
Authors: Hartzell Freyja
Published: November 2022

How Richard Riemerschmid's designs of everyday—but “extraordinary”—objects recalibrate our understanding of modernism.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, German artist Richard Riemerschmid (1868–1957) was known as a symbolist painter and, by the advent of World War I, had become an important modern architect. This, however, the first English-language book on Riemerschmid, celebrates his understudied legacy as a designer of everyday objects—furniture, tableware, clothing—that were imbued with an extraordinary sense of vitality and even personality. Freyja Hartzell makes a case for the importance of Riemerschmid's designed objects in the development of modern design—and for the power of everyday things to change the way we live our lives, understand history, and design our future. Hartzell offers for the first time an interpretive history of Riemerschmid's design practice embedded in a fresh examination of modernism told by the objects themselves.

Hartzell explores Riemerschmid's early drawings, paintings, and prints; his interiors and housewares, which represent a modernist shift from exclusive image to accessible object; his designs for women's clothing; his immensely popular wooden furniture; his serially produced ceramics and their appeal to German nationalism of the period; and his complex and compelling pattern designs for textiles and wallpapers, the only part of his creative practice that spanned his entire career. Riemerschmid, Hartzell writes, was at his most inventive, playful, and free when designing things for everyday use. His uniquely designed forms allow us to recognize the utilitarian object not just as a tool but as an individual being—a thing with a soul.
Administration Staff’s Descriptions of Inclusion in Finnish Vocational Education and Training
Authors: Ryökkynen Sanna , Raudasoja Anu , Heino Sanna , Maetoloa Katja , Pynnönen Päivi
Published: November 2022

Inclusion is understood in various ways in research, in documents guiding educational practices, and in stakeholders’ speeches. This study contributes to the European discussion on the ambiguity of inclusion by investigating the descriptions of Finnish vocational education and training (VET) administration personnel both at the national and vocational institution levels. It gives light on the interconnections between participants’ and Finnish and EU-level interpretations of inclusion in VET. We ask how the representatives of national educational administration and vocational institutions’ administration describe inclusion. The data was collected in the spring of 2021 by interviewing representatives (N=18) of national educational administration and vocational institution administration. We used Qvortrup and Qvortrup’s (2018) definition of inclusion as our theoretical lens. The participants’ descriptions of inclusion were constructed by portraying the significance of students’ equity, equality, participation, accessibility, special support and belonging in the VET community at the numeric level but they lack consideration of students’ activity in those communities and students’ own experiences. The participants did not address the relevance of different social arenas of inclusion or exclusion in their descriptions, but they described VET colleges as one social system. Moreover, the participants did not reflect on the degree of being included or excluded. Their perspectives were constructed through the Finnish VET context, and they created a strong promise of education, which would provide equal opportunities for all to study and acquire competence according to the qualification requirements in VET. Their approaches were based rather on the identification of special needs students and their needs than on considerations for social cohesion, active citizenship and lifelong learning. This fostered the invitation for the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture and the National Board of Education to define inclusion more precisely in VET so that the education providers would have an explicit framework and goals to advance inclusion in practice.

Introducción. El síndrome respiratorio agudo grave causado por el nuevo coronavirus SARSCoV-2 es causa de la emergencia sanitaria por la pandemia de COVID-19. Si bien el humano es el el principal huésped vulnerable, en estudios experimentales y reportes de infección natural, se han encontrado casos de zoonosis inversa de SARS-CoV-2 en animales.Objetivo. Evaluar la infección natural por SARS-CoV-2 en gatos y perros de propietarios con diagnóstico de COVID-19 en el Valle de Aburrá, Antioquia, Colombia.Materiales y métodos. La circulación del SARS-CoV-2 se evaluó por RT-qPCR y RT-PCR en muestras de frotis nasofaríngeos y orofaríngeos de gatos y perros cuyos propietarios se encontraban dentro del periodo de los 14 días de aislamiento. Los casos positivos se verificaron amplificando fragmentos de los genes RdRp, N y E; se secuenció el gen RdRp y se analizó filogenéticamente.Resultados. De 80 animales evaluados, seis gatos y tres perros fueron casos confirmados de infección natural por SARS-CoV-2. Los animales no presentaron signos clínicos y sus propietarios, que padecían la infección, reportaron únicamente signos leves de la enfermedad sin complicaciones clínicas. En el análisis de una de las secuencias, se encontró un polimorfismo de un solo nucleótido (SNP) con un cambio en la posición 647, con sustitución del aminoácido serina (S) por una isoleucina (I). Los casos se presentaron en los municipios de Caldas, Medellín y Envigado.Conclusiones. Se infiere que la infección natural en los gatos y perros se asocia al contacto directo con un paciente con COVID-19. No obstante, no es posible determinar la virulencia del virus en este huésped, ni su capacidad de transmisión  zoonótica o entre especie.

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a major issue in dragon fruit (Selenicereus spp.) breeding and production. Therefore, a better understanding of the dragon fruit SI mechanism is needed to improve breeding efficiency and ultimate production costs. To reveal the underlying mechanisms of SI in dragon fruit, plant anatomy,de novoRNA sequencing-based transcriptomic analysis, and multiple bioinformatic approaches were used to analyze gene expression in the pistils of the self-pollinated and cross-pollinated dragon fruit flowers at different intervals of time after pollination. Using fluorescence microscopy, we observed that the pollen of ‘Hongshuijing’, a self-incompatible dragon fruit variety (S. monacanthus), germinated on its own stigma. However, the pollen tube elongation has ceased at 1/2 of the style, confirming that dragon fruit experiences gametophyte self-incompatibility (GSI). We found that the pollen tube elongationin vitrowas inhibited by self-style glycoproteins in the SI variety, indicating that glycoproteins were involved in SI. That is to say the female S factor should be homologous of S-RNase or PrsS (P. rhoeasstigma S factor), both of which are glycoproteins and are the female S factors of the two known GSI mechanism respectively. Bioinformatics analyses indicated that among the 43,954 assembled unigenes from pistil, there were six S-RNase genes, while 158 F-box genes were identified from a pollen transcriptomic dataset. There were no P.rhoeastype S genes discovered. Thus, the identified S-RNase and F-box represent the candidate female and male S genes, respectively. Analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the self and cross-pollinated pistils at different time intervals led to the identification of 6,353 genes. We then used a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to find some non-S locus genes in SI responses in dragon fruit. Additionally, 13 transcription factors (TFs) (YABBY4, ANL2, ERF43, ARF2, BLH7, KNAT6, PIF3, twoOBF1, twoHY5and twoLHY/CCA) were identified to be involved in dragon fruit GSI. Thus, we uncovered candidate S and non-S genes and predicted more SI-related genes for a more detailed investigation of the molecular mechanism of dragon fruit SI. Our findings suggest that dragon fruit possesses a GSI system and involves some unique regulators. This study lays the groundwork for future research into SI mechanisms in dragon fruit and other plant species.

Deer overpopulation is a major threat to forest ecosystems worldwide resulting in loss of natural vegetation cover and increased sapling mortality. To resolve this problem of deer overpopulation, different strategies such as deer exclusion and gap creation have been explored to determine more efficient methods to restore deer-damaged forest ecosystems. In the current study, we applied a 2 × 2 factorial design of four different treatment groups in warm temperate secondary forests: closed canopy with deer as control, closed canopy without deer, clearcut with deer and clearcut without deer. We compared the decadal change in tree foliar cover and tree species richness among treatment groups to assess tree regeneration success. We also selected six tree species (Abies firma, Quercus acuta, Eurya japonica, Cinnamomum tenuifolium, Castanopsis sieboldii and Neolitsea sericea) that are common in the studied region and compared their regeneration success among the treatment groups. In the absence of deer, clearcutting increased the diversity of tree species and accelerated sapling growth, while under closed canopy conditions sapling heights did not exceed two meters. Tree saplings tended to be less abundant in treatments with deer compared to their counterpart, suggesting limited successful recruitment of saplings at the current deer density (10–13.5 deer km−2). In clearcut-with-deer treatment, non-tree species became abundant, and negatively affected recruitment of tree species as was suggested by regression analysis. However, these general trends were not equal for all tree species. Although clearcut-without-deer treatment facilitated sapling recruitment of all six tree species, Q. acuta, C. tenuifolium and C. sieboldii required deer exclusion for sapling recruitment while A. firma, N. sericea and E. japonica required increased light availability. Consequently, informed decisions can be made by identifying whether certain tree species are capable of naturally recruiting without human intervention and how best to ensure successful recruitment if necessary. By implementing effective strategies, time and resources will be saved, and management goals such as reestablishing tree cover rapidly and increasing tree species diversity can be achieved.

The present study was undertaken to assess the soil fertility status os soils under sugarcane-ratoon-wheat cropping system. Soil samples were collected from farmers fields at three depths viz., 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm and 30-45 cm and analysed for various soil properties. Results revealed that soils were sandy clay loam to clay loam in texture, neutral in soil reaction and non saline in salt content. Mean values of CEC 15.96, 13.13 and 10.80 C mol (p+) kg-1, SOC 4.57, 3.93 and 2.95 g kg-1, available nitrogen 263.01, 209.90 and 173.73 kg ha-1, available phosphorus 15.37, 12.49 and 9.00 kg ha-1, available potassium 156.43, 118.16 and 102.11 kg ha-1, DTPA Zn 0.49, 0.35 and 0.21 mg kg-1, DTPA Fe 9.53, 7.71 and 5.28 mg kg-1, DTPA Mn 8.20, 6.80 and 5.20 mg kg-1 and DTPA Cu 0.99, 0.74 and 0.56 mg kg-1 were recorded at 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm and 30-45 cm, respectively. Soils under this cropping system were low in available nitrogen content and medium in available phosphorus and potassium content. Among DTPA extractable micronutrients soil were deficient in available zinc while sufficient in available iron, manganese and copper content.

Forty greengram genotypes were evaluated for their morphological traits and to find the extent of genetic variability. Analysis of variance revealed that the genotypes were highly significant for all the characters studied, indicating the existence of considerable magnitude of variability. High (>20%) phenotypic co-efficient of variation and high genotypic co-efficient of variation for seed yield (kg/4.05 m2) in the present investigation was noticed and indicating the minimal influence of environment and presence of high genetic variability for the trait in the experimental material. Hence, selection based on phenotype in these genotypes can also be effective for improvement of seed yield. High heritability to plant height (cm), days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, pod length, 100 seed weight, protein estimation and medium heritability to seed yield (kg/4.05 m2). High GAM to plant height and seed yield demonstrates the presence of additive gene effect indicating effectiveness of selection for improvement of these traits. Mahalanobis D2 analysis suggested the maximum contribution of seed yield (74.87%) towards genetic diversity followed by Plant height (8.08%), Days to Maturity (7.69%), Pod length (4.36%), Days to 50% flowering (3.59%), Seedling Dry Weight (0.64%), Protein Estimation (0.64%), 100 seed weight (0.13%). All 40 genotypes were grouped into 12 clusters. The clustering pattern revealed that genetic diversity was associated with geographical diversity in the present research. Based on mean performances, the genotypes PUSA-9072, MLGG-21-2, IC-436557, MLGG-21-6, RMP-21-11, Gouri, MLGG-21-3, MGG-512, MGG-519 from these clusters can be directly used as parents in the hybridization programme. The output of this study is characterization of greengram genotypes for DUS characters and other traits. This study helps in identification of genotypes with suitable traits, helps in registration of lines with PPV and FRA and the material can be used in breeding programmes.
