designing breeding programs for winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars with improved seed and oil yields requires information about the genetic variability of traits. in this study, 28 winter rapeseed cultivars were evaluated for genetic variation and relationships between 11 agro-morphological characters during 2010 and 2011. cultivars and cultivar × year interaction showed significant ...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different sowing time on seed yield and quality in under used medicinal plant babchi. The study was carried out for 12 months from January to December. Results showed that the seeds sown in November month recorded the maximum seed yield and quality parameters followed by October month than other months. November month recorded the maximum fi...

A study was conducted at the National Agriculture Research Center, Islamabad during summer 2001 on 27 genotypes of soybean to determine the correlation and path analyses of yield and its components. Significant differences among genotypes for characters viz., leaf area, chlorophyll content, first pod height, days to 50% flowering, days to flowering completion, days to pod initiation, days to 50...

combining ability effects were estimated for different agronomic characters in line × tester crossing program comprising 21 hybrids produced by crossing 7 lines and 3 testers. parents and hybrids differed significantly for general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) effects, respectively. the variance due to gca and sca showed that gene action was predominantly additive...

seed and oil yields, their components, and the relationships among trait performance were determined in 25genotypes of winter type oilseed rape (brassica napus l.). the experiment was carried out at the agricultural and natural resources research center of east azerbaijan, iran, in two consecutive growing seasons 2009-10 and 2010- 11. significant differences were observed in plant height, numbe...

An investigation was carried out with 48 genotypes of pea obtained through line x tester mating and were tested using a randomized block experimental design three replications. The result showed highly significant difference for all the 14 characters under study. variability, heritability genetic advance as percent mean studied characters. A high genotypic coefficient variation observed traits ...
