Forty four hyacinth bean genotypes were studied to estimate the variability, heritability, genetic advance and correlation coefficients. There was a large variation among the genotypes for all the characters among which the number of pods per plant had highest (122 to 425). Green pod yield per plant varied from 0.46 kg to 3.45 kg indicating the presence of high yielding genotypes. High genotypic coefficient of variation was obtained for 100-green seed weight, pod yield per plant, number of pods per plant and harvesting duration. The highest heritability was observed for days to first flower (98.39%) followed by days to first harvest (96.1 %).The pod yield per plant also exhibited high heritability of 77.9% with highest genetic advance (68.28) indicating the possibility of selection to improve this traits. Yield of green pods showed highly significant and positive association with number of pods per plant (r=0.71**), individual pod weight (r=0.54**) and harvesting duration (r=0.198*), which indicates the importance of these characters during selection for high yielding genotypes in hyacinth bean.

Studies on genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance were carried out with 14 genotypes of Lablab bean (Lablab purpureus L.) cultivated at the Agro-ecological zone9 (AEZ-9) comprising the Old Brahmaputra Floodplain Soil. Considerable amount of genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed for all characters studied. Phenotypic variation was greater than that of the genotypic variations for all the characters. The greater portion of total phenotypic variation was due to the genotypic variation. Highest genetic and phenotypic variation were observed for green pod yield per plant (1882.68 and 2108.43, respectively) and 100-green seed weight (1380.91 and 1452.07, respectively) Heritability values were higher for days to maturity (81.37) , number of raceme per plant (80.62), pod length (99.43), pod width (99.27), green pod yield per plant (89.29), dry shelling percentage (91.58), seed yield per plant (84.93) and protein content (98.11) indicating the better potentials of improving these characters for improvement of yield. Maximum genetic advance expressed as percentage of mean was recorded for green pod yield per plant (95.22).Progressive Agriculture 26:22-25, 2015

An experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design to estimate genetic variability of ten rice genotypes. Analysis of variance for yield and yield contributing traits showed significant (p<0.01) variation among the genotypes. Results of genetic analyses showed a higher phenotypic coefficient of variation compared to their corresponding genotypic coefficient of variation for all the traits measured, which indicates that the traits were influenced by environment. The magnitude of difference between phenotypic coefficient of variance (PCV) and genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV) was less for the traits indicating little influence of environment. The higher estimates of PCV and GCV were observed for number of filled grains panicle–1 (27.53; 26.84), number of unfilled grains panicle–1 (26.76;25.28) and plant height (23.14; 23.00) indicates possibility of genetic improvement through direct selection for these traits, while days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, panicle length, number of effective tillers plant–1, fertility (%), 1000 Seed weight and yield panicle–1 showed low PCV and GCV values indicating the need for creation of variability by hybridization or mutation followed by selection. High heritability values (>60%) along with high genetic advance and genetic advance as percentage of mean were found for all the traits indicating prevalence of additive gene action, which provides good scope for further improvement by selection.J.

Sixteen genotypes of local and exotic germplasms were studied to estimate variability, hcritability, genetic advance, and correlation coefficients. High genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation were obtained for number of fruits/plant, individual fruit weight, and yield per plant. Heritability and genetic advance were also high for these traits indicating the possibility of selection to improve these characters. Yield of fruits showed highly significant and positive association with number of fruits per plant and individual fruit weight, which indicate the importance of these characters during selection for high yielding genotypes in eggplant. Among the genotypes, Islampuri produced the highest fruit yield (58.8 t/ha) followed by Tall begun (52.8 t/ha) and EG 120 (49.6 t/ha). Incidence of borer infestation ranged from 3.0 to 20.6 %. The lowest borer infestation was found in EG 120 (3.0%), while it was the highest in EG 192 (20.6%) Key Words: Genetic variation; trait relationship; exotic and local germplasm; eggplant.

The 27 accessions of pearl millet of African origin were studied during <italic>kharif</italic> 2013 and 2014 in a randomized complete block design in the hot arid climate of Rajasthan. The study was conducted to assess the magnitude of presence of genetic variability and associations among characters namely, grain yield per plant (gm.), number of tillers per plant, plant height (cm), panicle length (cm), panicle diameter (cm), number of leaves per plant, days to 50% flowering and test weight(gm.). The result showed that genetic variability was present among the accessions for all studied characters. The estimated PCV (%) and GCV (%) were high for all characters. The broad sense heritability (%) and genetic advance (% of mean) estimates were also high for all studied characters. The number of tillers per plant, panicle length (cm), panicle diameter (cm) and days to 50% flowering had positive and significant genotypic, phenotypic and environmental correlation coefficients with grain yield per plant. The presence of genetic variability, high heritability and genetic advance and association with grain yield of number of tillers per plant, panicle length (cm), panicle diameter (cm) and days to 50% flowering amenable them for selection and enhancement of grain yield.

Forty-four hyacinth bean genotypes were evaluated for different qualitative and quantitative characters during July 2005 to February 2006 at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), Gazipur. The genotypes showed considerable variations for most of the morpho-physical traits. Shape, size and colour of vein, leaf, petiole, stem, flower, pod and seed varied among the genotypes. Days to first flower ranged from 47.6 to 136.3 days indicating the presence of early variety. Individual pod weight varied from 1.47 (HB042) to 12.3g (HB009). The genotype HB027 produced the maximum number of pods/ plant (425) closely followed by HB001 (385). Similar trend was observed for pod yield/plant. The genotype HB027 produced the highest pod yield/plant (3.45kg) followed by HB001 (3.35kg). 100-green seed weight ranged from 4.0g to 73.33g, which indicated the presence of bold seeded genotypes. Among the genotypes, HB027 and HB007 produced very bold green seed and higher green pod yield/plant, therefore, they can be selected for both pod and green seed production purpose.

The field experiment was conducted to estimate the genetic variability and correlation between yield contributing traits using 15 rape seed genotypes. The results indicated that the phenotypic variance for all the characters was considerably higher than the genotypic variance denoting little influence of environmental factors on their expression. Characters like 1000-seed weight (12.39, 14.10), days to 50% flowering (18.36, 18.77) and days to maturity (4.63, 5.06) showed low genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation. Moderate genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed in number of primary branches per plant (20.22, 22.16), length of siliqua (20.84, 20.97), number of seeds per siliqua (30.90, 33.06), number of siliquae per plant (49.34, 49.81) and yield per plant (34.36, 39.98) and high genotypic (67.00) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (68.57) was observed for number of secondary branches per plant. Plant height (85.98%, 30.89), 1000 seed weight (77.14%, 22.41), days to 50% flowering (95.66%, 20.35) and days to maturity (83.85%, 7.82) showed high heritability with low genetic advance which indicated the possibility of non-additive gene action. Number of primary branches per plant (83.22%, 37.99, 636.02), length of siliqua (98.83%, 42.68, 1084.42), number of seeds per siliqua (87.40%, 59.52, 424.22), number of siliqua per plant (98.15%, 100.71, 178.83) and yield per plant (73.87%, 60.84, 4539.97) showed high heritability with high genetic advance and high genetic advance in percentage of mean revealed the possibility of predominance of additive gene effects. Number of primary branches per plant had showed highly significant positive association with number of secondary branches per plant (rg=0.597, rp= 0.537) and yield per plant (rg=0.43). Days to 50% flowering showed significant positive association with seeds per siliqua (rg=0.492; rp=0.436), 1000 seed weight (rg=0.486; rp=0.472) and yield per plant (rg=0.438; rp=0.379). Length of siliqua manifested highly significant positive association with siliqua per plant (rg=0.571; rp=0.514) and significant negative association with yield per plant (-0.471) at genotypic level. Siliqua per plant had highly significant negative association at both genotypic and phenotypic level with yield per plant (-0.697; -0.525) but 1000 seed weight had highly significant positive association with yield per plant both genotypic and phenotypic level (0.893; 0.814). The results of the path analysis revealed that 1000 seed weight (0.766) had the maximum direct effect and the maximum negative direct effect was observed in seeds per siliqua (0.305). In summary, the results suggested that there were some yield related traits such as 1000 seed weight and days to 50% flowering could be selected and used in breeding program for increasing the grain yield of rapeseed.

Information on heritability and trait association in crops assist breeders to allocate resources necessary to effectively select for desired traits and to achieve maximum genetic gain with little time and resources. The objectives of this investigation were to determine the amount of genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance and strength of association of yield related traits among sorghum lines under different environments in Egypt. Six environments with 25 sorghum B-lines were at two locations in Egypt (Giza and Shandaweel) in two years and two planting dates in one location (Giza). A randomized complete block design was used in each environment with three replications. Significant variation was observed among sorghum lines for all studied traits in all environments. Across environments, grain yield/plant (GYPP) showed positive and significant correlations with number of grains/plant (r = 0.71), days to flowering (r = 0.47), 1000-grain weight (r = 0.16) and plant height (PH) (r = 0.19). In general, the estimates of phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were higher than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV). Combined across the six environments, the highest PCV and GCV was shown by PH trait (95.14 and 43.57%) followed by GYPP (36.42 and 30.78%), respectively, indicating that selection for high values of these traits of sorghum would be effective. GYPP and PH traits showed high heritability associated with high genetic advance from selection, indicating that there are good opportunities to get success in improvement of these traits via selection procedures. Results concluded that PH is good selection criterion for GYPP and therefore selection for tall sorghum plants would increase grain yield.

Thirty eight rapeseed genotypes were evaluated to estimate the genetic variability and association among the genotypes, following 8 quantitative characters. A considerable amount of genetic variability were found ranges from 1000 seed weight (11.09g) to harvest index (44.00%) and phenotypic variability for plant height (13.36m) to harvest index (44.14%). High heritability was found for all characters except 1000 seed weight (67.04g). Minimum genetic advance was observed for 1000 seed weight (0.63g) and maximum for plant height (29.72m). The lowest genetic advance in percent of mean was found in 1000 seed weight (18.70g) and highest in harvest index (90.35%). Plant height, raceme length and 1000 seed weight have significant positive association with yield with harvest index. Plant height, raceme length, 1000 seed weight and harvest index have imposed direct positive effect on yield per plant (g). As Plant height, raceme length, 1000 seed weight and harvest index are mainly driven by the additive genes so that selection criteria based on this characters should be effective.Bangladesh J. Pl.
