Genetic Variability, Correlation and Path Coefficient Analysis for Yield and Yield Attributing Traits in Bitter Gourd (Momordica charantia L.)

Studies on Genetic Variability, Heritability and Genetic Advance for Yield and Yield Attributing Characters in Cluster Bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.]

“…High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for the traits number of branches per plant, plant spread, number of pods per cluster, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, days taken to pod maturity, pod length, TSS, Protein %, fibre % and moisture % which indicated the preponderance of additive gene action governing the inheritance of this character and offers the best possibility of improvement of this trait through simple selection procedures. Similar findings were reported by Kumar and Ram (2015), Patil (2014), Bhatkodle et al, (2014), Muthuselvi and Shanthi (2013), Rai et al, (2012), Saini et al,(2010), Sabarish (2010, Prakash et al, (2009), Anandhi and Oommen (2007), Saini et al,(2004), ), Hanchinamani (2004), Singh et al, (2001, Choudhary and Joshi(1996) and Mital and Thomas (1969) in cluster bean, Rai et al, (2004) and Singh et al, (2000) in French bean.…”

Genetic variability, correlation and path analysis in ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula Roxb. L.)

“…GCV indicates the extent of genetic variability present in the population ranged from 0.02 in total crude fiber content to 5146.51 in fruit weight. Similar findings were reported by Manjukumari et al (2018) [13] in bitter gourd. Table 1 show that considerable variations exist between PCV and GCV values for all the traits under study.…”

Extent of Genetic Variability for Quantitative Traits in Indian Clusterbean Germplasm [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub]

“…The present findings are in accordance with results of Patel et al (2018), Rishitha et al (2019) and Meghana et al (2019) for days to flowering, while Meghana et al (2019) for days to maturity and number of branches per plant, Santhosha et al (2017) for seed yield per plant, pod length and protein content, Shobiya et al (2019) for plant height, Rishitha et al (2019) for the number of pods per plant and test weight, Moderate heritability was found for the characters number of seeds per pod and number of clusters per plant. Similar type of results were reported by Kumar and Ram (2015) and Revathi et al (2017). It indicates that PCV is higher than GCV; there is a little influence of environment on the expression of these characters.…”
