The aim of this study was to determine nature and extent of variability parameters and their utilization in barley breeding programme. A total of 45 F1s along with their parents and F2 populations were evaluated in a randomized block design with 3 replications during Rabi (winter season) 2014. The various traits measured were days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, flag leaf area...

in order to investigate genetic diversity of two flax species, 50 genotypes were evaluated. the results showed that there was significant difference between two subspecies and also among different regions in subspecies for some seed yield components and us subspecies was superior than md for number of capsules/plant but md subspecies had more 1000 seed weight. genetic variation in each region w...

Studies assessing phenotypes of plant populations traditionally place their primary focus on increasing measurement precision and improving accuracy. Phenotyping methods that use imaging, remote sensing, spectroscopy, continue to increase throughput capacity, but information has been unavailable assess the tradeoffs between increased any potential decreases in In this simulation study, we compa...

In the face of unprecedented global biodiversity loss, conservation planning must balance between refining and deepening knowledge versus acting on current information to preserve species and communities. Phylogenetic diversity (PD), a biodiversity measure that takes into account the evolutionary relationships between species, is arguably a more meaningful measure of biodiversity than species d...
