Genetic variability, heritability in broad sense and expected genetic advance as percent of mean for fruit yield and nine characters were studied in 25 pointed gourd genotypes. Fruits per plant and fruit yield per plant showed maximum variability. Genotypic coefficient of variation was found high for fruit yield and number of fruits per plant. All the characters under study were highly heritabl...

Gladiolus (Gladiolus floribundus L.) is a bulbous ornamental plant belongs to family Iridaceae. It is an elegant cut flower grown for its magnificent spikes. The estimates of heritability varied from 99.5% to 61.1%. The highest heritability estimates in broad sense was observed for the characters vase life (99.5%) and lowest for height at 30 days after planting. Expected genetic advance express...

The present study was carried out to estimate genetic variability parameters for some traits such as pods per plant, cell membrane stability, one thousand kernel weight, flowering period, grain filling period, chlorophyll content, relative water content, leaf excised water content, seed per pod and pod length, in 16 winter rapeseed genotypes. Statistical analysis showed significant differences ...
