To generate information on the phenotypic and genotypic variability for morphological attributes one hundred and forty (140) saffron (Crocus sativus L.) germplasm lines were evaluated for component analysis at Saffron Research Station Pampore, SKUAST-Kashmir during 2017-18. Observations were recorded on 10 randomly selected and tagged competitive plants for 18 morphological traits. Traits were analyzed by employing Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Combined PC1 and PC2 accounted for 68.527 % of the total variance of data. Both PC1 and PC2 were characterized by nine variables showing their contribution and correlation between variables and factors. In PC1 this is appropriate regarding that Pearson correlation showed significant correlation between these variables, however the variables style length and stigma length show negative relationship with each other. The PC2 is characterized by positive relationship of stigma length and style length. In PC1 the variables, viz, leaf length (LFL), number of leaves corm-1 line-1 (LCL), number of flowers corm-1 line-1, total flower weight corm-1 (FWT/C), big corm index (BCI), fresh pistil weight (FPW) show maximum contribution towards yield.
