Dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus L.) is an important leguminous vegetable crop. Diversity of genes to a high extent in the gene pool provides better opportunities develop appropriate plant varieties. Hence, finding advantageous traits or their combinations key step. Genetic diversity for parents be chosen potential breeding programmes. In general, genetically divergent are used segregating gener...

The castor plant (Ricinus communis L.) is a versatile industrial oilseed crop with a diversity of sex patterns, its hybrid breeding for improving yield and high purity is still hampered by genetic instability of female and poor knowledge of sex expression mechanisms. To obtain some hints involved in sex expression and provide the basis for further insight into the molecular mechanisms of castor...

Genetic variability is an indicator for a plant breeder to proceed further. Six F3:4 derived inter-specific Brassica populations along with three checks were evaluated for genetic variability for agronomic characters at NWFP Agricultural University, during 20052006. Highly significant (P < 0.05) genetic variations were recorded for plant height. Maximum number of pods main receme (94) was obser...

The experiment was carried out to determine the genetic variability parameters and character associations for eleven quantitative traits in Indian bean genotypes. It revealed a significant amount of present among these Seed yield per plant had high Genotypic coefficient variation (GCV) Phenotypic (PCV) values, showing potential improvement by selection. Racemes plant, pods raceme,&nbsp;pods pod...

Aim: Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (Linn.)] is the third vital oilseed crop in world which contributes 28.6% production of oilseeds. Genetic diversity assessment plays a fundamental role preservation and improvement targeted plant species.&#x0D; Study Design: In present investigation, 196 genotypes including checks were grown field evaluated based on different morpho-physiological traits.&#x0...
