Genetic Diversity in Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)

Correlation studies on yield and yield components in brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)

“…This indicated that the tall plants would have favoured synthesis of growth promoting hormones and thus encouraged production of more number of branches and fruits. Similar results were noticed by Thangamani (2003), Prabhu (2004), Ravali et al (2017) and Tiwari et al (2019).…”

“…Total yield per plant showed a positive correlation with the number of branches, fruit length, the number of fruits per plant, total phenol and polyphenol oxidase. Earlier results obtained also confirm this association in brinjal as reported by Dharwad et al (2011), Muniappan et al (2010), Kranthi and Celine (2013), Vandana et al (2014), (Lakshmi et al, 2014), Ravali et al (2017) and Tiwari et al (2019). A negative association of yield was observed with first flowering, days to first harvest, shoot infestation, fruit infestation and ascorbic acid.…”

Genetic Diversity of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) in the Foot Hills of Himalaya

“…Early flowering and harvest could be helpful for breeding an early plant type. A high yielding, early flowering, type could be bred through utilizing the genotypes from cluster II and VI as parents (Das et al, 2010;Kumar et al, 2013 andRavali et al, 2017).…”

Genetic Diversity in Oil Palm Genotypes by Multivariate Analysis

“…As these two clusters (cluster 1 and 6) are having greater genetic distance, the genotypes in cluster 1 and cluster 6 exhibit greater genetic diversity. The hybridization between these genotypes will yields greater variability in the germplasm and develop superior hybrids with desired traits (Arunachalam, 1981;and Ravali, 2017). The minimum inter cluster distance was observed in cluster 1 and cluster 2 (164.048), which shows very narrow range of divergence between the genotypes in these cluster and they are not suitable for hybridization due to inbreeding depression (Kumar and Singh, 2006).…”
