A major challenge facing those involved in the testing of new plant varieties for DUS is the need to compare new varieties against all those ‘of common knowledge’ and corresponding increase in size of reference variety collections (and hence work-load) and this could entail one possible approach to group new (candidate) varieties and references using descriptions stored in databases, prior to more formal testing. Keeping this in view, a total of 35 released varieties of vegetable pea were grouped for various agro-morphological descriptors. Among the genotypes, 11 showed extra early flower opening (
