Eight rice genotypes with different genetic backgrounds were evaluated for grain length, width, length width ratio, thickness, 1000 weight, seed germination percent, shoot root and ratio. The variance (δ^2 g), phenotypic p), covariance (PCV), genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV), heritability (h_b^2), advance (GA), in percent mean (GA %) correlation all calculated. experiment was conducted ...

Landraces are repositories for potential beneficial traits which could be used to develop varieties with enhanced qualities. Optimal utilization of the available large collection landraces African yam bean (AYB) presently conserved at Genetic Resource Center, International Institute Tropical Agriculture, Ibadan (GRC-IITA), requires an assessment magnitude and nature genetic diversity within ger...

Greengram (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) is one of the highly consumed legumes and has ability to withstand wide environmental conditions. Sixty greengram genotypes were evaluated for genetic relatedness with 11 quantitative traits viz., days 50 per cent flowering, maturity, plant height, number primary branches plant, clusters pods cluster, seeds pod, pod length, hundred seed weight single yield...

Lentil is a nutritious food and one of the world's oldest domesticated legumes. The present studyevaluatedthe nature magnitude variability, heritability, genetic advance association among yield contributing traits in 24 lentils (Lens culinaris M.) genotypes. From 13 considered, phenotypic coefficients variation (PCV) were found higher than genotypic coefficient (GCV) which indicates less effect...

The study was conducted on physiology and biochemical performance and correlation for yield and its quality characters of 18 genotypes of Glory lily (Gloriosa superba). Experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications at the Medicinal Plants Unit, Botanical Garden, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. Genotypes GS 15, GS 06, GS 18, GS 03 and GS 02 were com...

heritability, environmentaland genetic correlations between body weight at hatch (bw0), eight (bw8) and twelve (bw12) weeksof age, body weight at sexual maturity (bwm), age at sexual maturity (afe),the weight of the first egg laid by the hen (ewm), the mean egg weight from 28 to 32 wks (ew28-32) and egg numbers (ens) were estimated by the restricted maximum likelihood method under an animal mod...

despite the importance of drought stress in early stage of growth and plant establishment, it has usually been neglected as selection criteria in breeding programs. therefore, a population of recombinant inbred line derived from the cross “babax/seri m82” and their two parents were studied. the experiment was conducted in two randomized complete block designs with two replications under osmotic...
