Morphological, phenotypical and yield attributing characteristics of 20 mulberry genotypes were evaluated. Genotypic and phenotypic variations, heritability, genetic advance and correlation co-efficient were also estimated. It was found that the phenotypic co-efficient of variation (PCV) was higher (97.68%) than genotypic co-efficient of variation (GCV, 96.99%). The broad sense heritability for these traits ranged from 98.60 (AL) to 4.69 (LLS). High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was recorded for the characters apex length (AL), leaf length (LL), leaf width (LW), leaf petiole ratio (LPR) and petiole length (PL) suggesting the higher genetic control over these traits. Significant positive correlations to leaf yield/plant were observed for the characters, namely total shoot weight (0.817), longest shoot length (0.600), total branch height (0.596) and leaves fresh weight/10 leaves (0.425). Leaf yield showed significantly positive phenotypic and genotypic correlations with all other growth traits (viz., total shoot weight 0.817, length of longest shoot 0.600, total branch height 0.596 and leaves fresh weight/10 leaves 0.425) except total branch number, nodes per meter, leaf width and petiole length. High genetic advance as percentage of mean coupled with heritability was observed on AL, LL, LW, LPR, PL and 10 fresh leaves weight suggesting the prevalence of additive gene action with low environmental influence for the determination of these characters and could be effective in phenotypic selection. Analysis of variances (ANOVA) for characters such as AL, LL, LW, LPR and PL showed significant variations among the genotypes. Since mulberry is mainly cultivated for leaf yield, genotypes having higher AL, LL, LW and LPR and PL must be given importance during parent selection to evolve high yielding varieties across different seasons in mulberry.

Firstly thirty two genotypes of the species, collected from different areas, were evaluated for growth traits, mineral nutrients and proximate principles after four years in a previously raised progeny trial. In this way top eighteen genotypes were selected and grafted separately on seedling stock of the same species and a clonal seed orchard was established which consisted of eighteen clones (grafted) raised in RBD with three replications. After five years the observations were recorded on individual ramet viz; plant height, basal diameter, leaf width, leaf length, number of branches, petiole length and green leaf yield. Significant differences among clones were observed for different morphometric traits. Various genetic parameters and correlation coefficients for different growth characters were determined. The highest percent GCV (33.20) and PCV(36.02) as also heritability (84.95) were exhibited by green leaf yield while maximum GA (3.23) was noticed in leaf width. The highest percent GG (61.86) was recorded for green leaf yield. Significantly positive correlations were observed between plant height and basal diameter (0.6086), plant height and green leaf yield (0.8461), basal diameter and green leaf yield (0.6924), leaf width and leaf length (0.6490), leaf width and green leaf yield (0.5688) and leaf length and green leaf yield (0.4225).

Shoot length, leaf length and width, root length, and crown diameter were affected by 0.0-, 0.5-, 1.0-, and 5.0-mg·liter–1 uniconazole drench and 25- or 50-mg·liter–1 GA3 spray but not significantly by 0.0%, 2.5%, and 5.0% NaCl. Leaf width of H. syriacus Sieb. & Zucc. was not affected and that of H. syriacus L. significantly decreased, as NaCl concentration increased. Effect of NaCl on H. syriacus leaf width was offset by treatment with uniconazole but not by GA3 treatment. With 2.5% NaCl, dry weight of H. hamabo treated with uniconazole or GA3 increased and that of treated H. syriacus decreased. With 5.0% NaCl, dry weight of both species decreased with uniconazole or GA3. Calcium at 13.35 or 133.5 mM decreased the reduction of dry weight by NaCl treatment. The dry: fresh weight ratio of H. hamabo and H. syriacus treated with NaCl plus uniconazole was higher than that only treated with NaCl. GA3 treatment with NaCl did not affect the dry: fresh weight ratio for either species

Interest in growing winter spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) in Iran is increasing due to its good nutritional potential returns relative to other vegetable crops. The objectives of this research were to investigate the interrelationships among different traits of spinach and to evaluate different Iranian spinach landraces with application of the genotype ? trait (GT) biplot methodology in visualizing research data. 81 spinach landraces were grown during 2-years according to randomized complete block design with four replications. Ranking of the genotypes based on the ideal entry revealed that genotypes G1, G20, G7, G8, G9, G27, G49 G70 and G79 were higher in the measured traits and could be good candidates for improving most of the measured traits. Ranking of traits for the leaf yield showed that petiole diameter, petiole length, leaf numbers at flowering, 1000-seed weight and root dry weight were the most discriminating traits which influence spinach leaf yield at both years. There were 9 winning genotypes and 4 which-won-where patterns at the first year while there were 8 winning genotypes and 4 which-won-where patterns at the second year. As a result, the findings from our study are as follows: (i) traits leaf numbers at flowering, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, petiole diameter and petiole length could be as selection indices for spinach leaf yield improvement, (ii) genotypes G1, G20, G7, G8, G9, G27, G49 G70, and G79 were the most favorable and is thus recommended for commercial release or incorporating in breeding programs; (iii) the GT biplot method can be used to identify superior genotypes in other crops and in other parts of the world.

High Potassium Content

Betelvine (Piper betle L.) is commonly consumed as betel quid or paan with areca nut and/or tobacco; and also utilized in Indian medicine systems and in religious ceremonies. The betel production is highly erratic and so is the income of farmers due to natural climatic factors and spoilage during transport. It is therefore important to improve its productivity per vine and per unit area to meet the demand. Correlation, path coefficient and stability analysis was carried out in fifteen genotypes of betelvine including 3 checks under three protected structures, namely, Bareja (E1), Poly tunnel (E2) and Net tunnel (E3). Among the three structures, Net tunnel was found suitable for the cultivation of betelvine in Chhattisgarh. With respect to quality parameters, Meetha paan (2.65 g/100g) followed by Billori (2.23 g/100g) found to have high protein content. Meetha paan (5.89g/100g) followed by Meetha-cum-bangla (5.36g/100g) was also found to possess high starch content. However, low fiber content was recorded in Meetha pan (1.83g/100g), whereas high potassium content was found in Ramtake meetha (933mg/100g) followed by Bidhan pan (991mg/100g). The genotype, Karapaku possessed high potassium content (2.67mg/g). Hedonic five point scale for organolaptic test showed Meetha paan (2.3/5) followed by Bali paan (2.4/5) were less pungent among genotype studied. Highest shelf life was found in genotype Karapaku and Bhaichigudi (18days). The results indicated that number of leaves per vein were positively correlated with leaf width (0.802 and 0.819) followed by leaf area (0.790 and 0.808), leaf area index (0.782 and 0.800), leaf length (0.745 and 0.759), specific leaf weight (0.681 and 0.709), petiole length (0.658 and 0.705), diameter of internodes (0.484 and 0.559) and R-value (0.112 and 0.110) at both phenotypic and genotypic level, respectively. Path analysis identified leaf width (0.8772) and leaf length (0.4712) had direct effects on leaf yield at phenotypic level. Highest positive direct effect on leaf yield was exerted by leaf area (1.3544) followed by leaf width (0.8986) at genotypic level. These characters can be used as selection criterion in a breeding programme to develop varieties of betelvine with high leaf yield. The stability analysis under three different protected structures viz; E1, E2, E3 indicated that the genotypes, Karapaku, Bhaichigudi and Maghai pan are stable across the environment for leaf yield.
