Adzuki beans are an important food legume crop in East Asia. A large number of adzuki bean accessions are maintained in the Chinese national seed genebank. A collection of 59 elite cultivars, 389 landraces, and 27 wild adzuki beans were selected and phenotyped extensively for yield and yield-related traits at two different locations (Nanning and Nanyang, China). Ten agronomic and yield-related traits were scored, and the data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA), principal component analysis (PCA), correlation, and cluster analysis. Significant variation was observed for genotypes, locations, and genotype x environment interaction for most traits. Also, there were significant differences in the phenotypes among accessions of different germplasm types. The broad-sense heritability of traits studied ranged from 4.4% to 77.8%. The number of seeds per pod (77.8%), 100-seed weight (68.0%), and number of plant branches (63.9%) had a high heritability. A total of 10 traits were transformed into 3 comprehensive factors by principal component analysis, and the first three principal component factors contributed 72.31% of the total variability. Cluster analysis categorized the 475 adzuki bean accessions into five distinct groups. The results described in this study will be useful for adzuki bean breeders for the development of varieties with high end-use quality.
