An experiment was carried out during Rabi 2021-22 at the experimental plot of ICAR-Indian Institute of Rice Research, Hyderabad. Two diverse elite indica lines of rice (Jaya and isogenic line of MTU1010) were used to generate the F2 population to study genetic variability parameters, heritability, and expected genetic advance under selection. Higher GCV, PCV, and heritability coupled with high genetic advance were estimated for the number of productive tillers, panicle weight, number of filled grains, and single plant yield, which indicated that heritability of these traits was under the control of additive gene action. Stringent selection for such traits will be rewarding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
