Increased transpiration efficiency (the ratio of biomass to water transpired, TE) could lead to increased drought tolerance under some water deficit scenarios. Intrinsic (i.e., leaf-level) TE is usually considered as the primary source of variation in whole-plant TE, but empirical data usually contradict this assumption. Sunflower has a significant variability in TE, but a better knowledge of t...

Studies were carried out in National Active Germplasm Site (NAGS) at ICAR-NRC on Litchi, Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India during 2018 and 2019 to find the association between different characters magnitude of with yield (kg plant-1) nine clones litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.). Result revealed that genotypic coefficient higher than their corresponding phenotypic ones implying an inherent relationship a...

Ethiopia is the center of origin for Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata). The crop one oldest oil crops and farmers in highlands country grow as a leafy vegetable their gardens. However, no attempt has been made to assess association characters path analysis leaf. This study was conducted traits among yield related determine direct indirect effects traits. A total 36 genotypes were evaluated ...

BACKGROUND The non-structural 5A (NS5A) protein of HCV is a multifunctional phosphoprotein involved in regulation of viral replication and virion assembly. NS5A inhibitors targeting domain I of NS5A protein have demonstrated high potency and pan-genotypic antiviral activity, however they possess a low genetic barrier to resistance. At present, only genotype 1, the most prevalent HCV genotype ha...

Thirty two cucumber genotypes were collected from different states of India and evaluated for yield quality characters at Bhubaneswar, Odisha during Rabi season 2019. The relationships between fruit components in investigated correlation studies revealed that per plant had positive significant association with vine length, number fruits plant, diameter average weight, while negative correlation...

Correlation coefficient measures the strength of relationship between independent traits on dependent trait like yield, that helps breeder in selection for yield enhancement. In this view, present experiment was carried out to assess correlation and path analysis using twelve quantitative traits. Eleven lines, four testers their 44 crosses along with five checks were evaluated simple lattice de...

The increased translocation of plant species for biodiversity restoration and habitat creation has provoked a debate on provenance and genotypic diversity of the used plant material. Nonlocal provenances are often not adapted to the local environmental conditions, and low population genotypic diversity may result in genetic bottlenecks hampering successful establishment. We tested provenance di...

The goal of the current investigation was to determine correlation coefficient, path analysis and genetic variability among twenty four maize hybrids for ten characters in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications at research field Plant Breeding Division, Regional Agricultural Research Station, Barisal, Bangladesh Institute (BARI), during rabi season 2014-15.

Biodiversity loss is proceeding at an unprecedented rate, yet we lack a thorough understanding of the consequences of losing diversity at different scales. While species diversity is known to impact community and ecosystem processes, genotypic diversity is assumed to have relatively smaller effects. Nonetheless, a few recent studies suggest that genotypic diversity may have quantitatively simil...
