In present study, one hundred eighty five JNPT (Jawahar New Plant Type) lines including five checks were evaluated for twenty eight morphological and quality traits planted in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The experiment was conducted during kharif seasons of 2014 and 2015 at Seed Breeding Farm, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, College of Agriculture, JNKVV, Jabalpur (M.P.), India. Observations were recorded on the basis of middle five random competitive plants selected from each line in every replication for yield and quality traits. Considerable genetic variability was exhibited by all the yield and quality traits under study. It was observed that for selecting the high yielding lines in the rice the characters viz., spikelet density, fertile spikelets panicle -1 , number of spikelets per panicle, panicle weight plant -1 and biological yield plant -1 might be considered. On the basis of high PC score in principal component analysis 10 most prominent JNPT lines

In present study, 67 JNPT (Jawahar New Plant Type) lines were evaluated for 28 morphological and quality traits planted in RCBD with three replications. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed that out of 28, only eight PCs exhibited more than 1.0 eigen value and showed about 81.84% total variability. For selecting the high yielding genotypes in rice, the characters viz., spikelet density, spikelet fertility, number of tillers plant–1and panicle weight plant–1 may be considered. On the basis of high PC score ten most prominent lines namely JNPT-1059-9, JNPT-1059- 10, JNPT1062-1, JNPT-1062-2, JNPT-1064-9, JNPT-1065-1, JNPT-1065-2, JNPT1065-3, JNPT-1066-52 and JNPT-1068- 65 were identified for yield and quality traits.
