This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the diversity between the genotypes of Amygdalus scoparia and the effect of mother trees on seedling growth in a habitat from Zarand of Kerman province. For this purpose, the number of 20 trees was selected completely randomly. Then, the seeds, separated from the mother tree, were planted in the research greenhouse of Yazd University based on the experimental design of complete randomized blocks in three replications. After the end of the first growing season, the morphological characteristics of seedlings, including height, collar diameter, number of leaves, leaf length, maximum leaf width, number of branches and leaf shape were measured and recorded. The results showed that genotype had a significant effect on leaf length, number of branches, and leaf shape, so that seedlings obtained from genotypes 2, 5, and 20 had significantly lower mean heights compared to other seedlings. Also, the leaf lengthof seedlings derived from genotype No. 15 and 4, nd the maximum leaf width and the number of branches in seedlings fromgenotypes No. 13 and 15, and the leaf shape of seedlings derived from genotypes No. 4 and 15 were significantly greater than those of other seedlings. The results of Pearson's correlation results showed that was a positive and significant correlation between seedling height, number of branches, and leaf shape. Also, the correlation of the leaf number trait with leaf length and width, leaf shape and number of branches was significant and negative. The number of branches trait also showed a positive and significant correlation with the length and width of the leaves. The results of principal components analysis indicated that the first three components accounted for more than 70% of the variances that in formingof these three components, leaf length, number of leaves, maximum leaf width and leaf shape played a more important role. Therefore, it can be concluded that among the studied traits, leaf traits including number, size and shape of leaves had the greatest effect on generating diversity. The results of the present study provide the possibility of selecting higher quality genotypes to increase production and propagation efficiency, which can be utilized by relevant organizations and institutions for seedling production aimed at restoring degraded areas and, more importantly, conserving existing ones.
