Correlation studies indicated that ear height, ear length, ear girth, Number of kernel rows per ear, Number of kernels per row, 100 kernel weight, Shelling percentage, Crude protein content, tryptophan and lysine contents exhibited significantly positive correlations with grain yield. Path coefficient analysis indicated that ASI, KPR Crude Protein, 100 kernel weight exerted at the highest positive direct effects both at genotypic and phenotypic levels and hence these traits play an important role in generating the high yielding genotypes through breeding programmes.
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.
