Abstract
Altogether 32 characters were evaluated in the set of 161 accessions (varieties, newly bred varieties and wild forms collected in the nature) within world collection of the Trifolium repens L. stored in the Czech national gene bank. Thirty plants of each accession were planted on the field; ten of them were evaluated in the years 2007 and 2008. All the evaluated characters were included into the analyses. Missing values were replaced by mean value. Cluster analysis was performed in the software Statistica for Windows for all the accessions together. Complete linkage method was used for clustering and Euclidean distance was used as the measure of distance. Established core collection of the white clover consists of 41 accessions from 17 countries.
