An experiment consisting 60 genotypes of linseed was conducted at Research Farm P. G. College Ghazipur during two years 2007-8 and 2008-9 in three micro environments results showed high level variability for pooled data all the characters. Highest PCV GCV were recorded biological yield per plant followed by capsules seed plant. It lower days to maturity oil content. High heritability broad sens...

Characterization of genetic variability in a population is pertinent as genetic diversity within population and within species determines the extent of improvement achieved through crop improvement 8 methods. One hundred ninety six F recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of tef, developed by single-seed descent method from a cross between two tef varieties DZ-01-196 and DZ-01-2356, were evaluated to ...

Human mate preferences have received a great deal of attention in recent decades because of their centrality to sexual selection, which is thought to play a substantial role in human evolution. Most of this attention has been on universal aspects of mate preferences, but variation between individuals is less understood. In particular, the relative contribution of genetic and environmental influ...

An experiment was carried out using 20 native Dendrobium orchids in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications at the Orchidarium of Landscape, Ornamental and Floriculture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur during the period January 2007 to June 2007 to estimate genetic variability, genetic parameters and correlation coefficient among different flower components. Highly significant va...

Cultivated pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a phenotypically diverse species grown throughout the world. Wild and landrace peppers are typically small-fruited and pungent, but contain many important traits such as insect and disease resistance. Cultivated peppers vary dramatically in size, shape, pungency, and color, and often lack resistance traits. Fruit characteristics (e.g. shape and pericarp th...

The seed yield in pea (Pisum sativum L.) depends on numerous environmental and genotypic factors. ongoing climate changes draw one’s attention to genetics variation of underexplored reproductive traits. This study focuses ovule number (ON) flower size expressed as a length flag petal (FL), terms their heritability, variability, correlation with 1000 mass (TSM), per pod, seed/ovule ratio. A set ...

Fifty-one genotypes of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) or closely related germplasm were evaluated in a pot experiment to examine genetic variation in transpiration efficiency. Significant variation in whole plant transpiration efficiency was observed, with the difference between lowest and highest genotypes being about 40% of the mean. Leaf gas exchange measurements were made across a wide range of...
