High Heritability

Adequate information on genetic variance and nature of gene actions for yield component characters are very crucial for a successful breeding programme. In this study, genetic variance, heritability and number of effective genes were estimated for Some Spike Characters in Castor. Bi-parental crosses were made among six castor lines at the National Cereals Research Institute (NCRI), Badeggi, Nigeria. Forty five (45) plant samples of parents and F1, 120 F2 and 60 BC1 and BC2 of the three crosses were evaluated for estimation of the genetic variance, heritability and number of effective genes for the traits studied. The results revealed significant variability among the generations for the genetic analysis. The results showed that the magnitude of the environmental variance for all the traits in all the crosses was lesser than both additive and dominance variances except for the number of capsules per raceme in the Cross II. High heritability (h2> 60%), high magnitude of additive variance compared to dominance, high genetic advance (GA > 20%) were observed for total raceme length in all the crosses. Predominant dominance variance, low heritability and moderate average genetic advance (17.69%) were recorded in the crosses for the seed yield per plant. Number of capsules per raceme (CPR) was controlled by 4.47 to 20.96 genes among the crosses. Seed weight (SW) was controlled by a range of 3.13 to 25.16 effective genes. For seed yield (SY), a range from 27.50 to 52.29 effective genes was observed. These findings provide a guide on choice of selection procedures for the improvement of the traits studied.

The present investigation was carried out to estimate the genetic parameters for ten traits in ricebean genotypes. Fourteen genotypes of ricebean (Vigna umbellata (Thunb.) were collected from different regions of country were evaluated for yield and its components. The study revealed that the phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for all traits. The value of PCV and GCV was higher for seed yield/plant, 100 seed weight and number of pods/plant. Heritability values were high for all the traits except leaflet size and pod length. High genetic advance was observed for days to 50% flowering, number of pods and seeds /plant, days to maturity, suggest that scope for improvement of these characters through selection. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was registered for 50% flowering, number of pods and seeds /plant indicate that the genetic variance for these traits are probably owing to their high additive gene effect and thus there is better scope for improvement of these traits through direct selection. Therefore selection based on these characters will bring the desired improvement in seed yield of ricebean. With respect to mean performance of genotype, PRR-2, PRR-1 and PRR-2011- 1 was found superior among all the genotypes.

Genetic variation for seed yield components was studied in 4 diploid varieties of Westerwold ryegrass, and 19 genotypes from each variety were grown in the field in 2 clonal replicate rows (minirows). The number of inflorescences/minirow, the numbers of spikelets/inflorescence and florets and seeds/spikelet, 1000-grain weight and seed yield/minirow were determined. Floret site utilization (FSU) was calculated as (seeds/floret) x 100%. Genotypic variation and heritabilities were calculated. Correlation studies and path analyses were carried out in each variety separately. Among varieties, no significant differences occurred for seed yield. However, within varieties large genetic variation was present for both seed yield and yield components. Path analyses revealed that relationships between seed yield components differed to a great extent among varieties. FSU was the major yield component in 3 varieties, but in one variety inflorescence number was the most important yield component. There was ample scope for genetic improvement of seed yield. FSU had a very high heritability and was not correlated with any of the other seed yield components. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)

Estimates of genetic parameters for ten genotypes of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) revealed significant variability for all the traits under study, indicated wide spectrum of variability among the genotypes. The estimates of genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation were high for plant height, number of seeds per ear and seed yield per plant. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for plant height, number of seeds per ear and seed yield per plant. Improvement in yield can be made by selecting these yield contributed traits having high heritability coupled with high genetic advance. Genotypic correlations were of higher magnitude as compare to their corresponding phenotypic correlation in most of the character combination, indicating the existence of strong influenced of inherent association for the various characters. Seed yield per plant exhibited significant stable and positive correlation with number of tillers per plant and 100 weight at genotypic and phenotypic level. Thus, it can be inferred that selection based on any one of these characters either alone or in combination, will result in identifying high yielding strains. Path coefficient analysis of genotypic and phenotypic level exhibited high positive and direct effect of number of tillers per plant, number of ear per plant, number of spikelet per ear, length of ear and 100 seed weight on seed yield per plant. Thus any selection based on these characters will enhance performance and improvement seed yield in barley.

An attempt was made to study blackgram germplasm with an objective to develop genetically diverse genotypes accompanied with high heritable components of yield contributing traits. The experimental material comprised of 21 blackgram genotypes, was examined during kharif 2015 and 2016. Experimental study conducted during kharif 2015, was mainly relied on selection of transgressive segregants, which were further analyzed in Compact Family Block Design during kharif 2016. The results depicted that families and progenies within families were significantly different for majority of the traits and found to be highly variable for biological yield, harvest index and seed yield. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance were recorded for plant height (74.15%, 33.12%), branches per plant (84.34%, 40.55%), biological yield (83.51%, 69.11%) and seed yield (84.50%, 66.11%). Thus, the present findings could be beneficial to develop superior genotypes through selection in blackgram breeding program.

The present investigation was carried out with 24 progenies in F4 generation of interspecific cross derivatives of Vigna radiata cv. VBN(Gg)2 x Vigna mungo cv. Mash 114 to study the variability and association among the yield and the yield component traits. A set of 24 F4 progenies from the interspecific cross between greengram (VBN(Gg)2) and blackgram (Mash 114) formed the basic genetic material for the present investigation. Variability studies recorded high Phenotypic Coefficient of Variation (PCV) and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation (GCV) for the traits viz., number of branches/ plant, number of clusters/ plant, number of pods/ plant and seed yield /plant. High heritability (h2) along with high genetic advance as per cent of mean (GAM) were recorded for the traits, plant height, number of clusters/ plant, number of pods/ plant and seed yield/ plant. Association studies revealed that the trait number of pods/ plant alone recorded high direct positive effect on seed yield/ plant. The results indicated that high magnitude of variability was present among the interspecific progenies for these traits. The high heritability and genetic advance might be due to presence of additive gene action. Hence selection based on these traits might be effective for genetic improvement among the interspecific progenies of Vigna radiata x Vigna mungo. The study indicates that the trait, number of pods / plant should be given due importance in selection programme for seed yield improvement in the interspecific progenies of greengram and blackgram.

ABSTRACT Castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) is a plant native to Africa that presents important socioeconomic value for many countries, and has been the subject of breeding programs. In this context, the objective of this work was to identify genotypes with potential for improvement, focused on lowering plant height, using 19 hybrids and eight parents of R. communis. The study was developed at the experimental area of the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia in Cruz das Almas, BA, Brazil. The experiment was conducted in 2017 using a randomized block design with three replications, consisting of eight parents and 19 hybrids resulting from hybridization of these parents, grown with spacing of 3 meters between rows and 1 meter between plants. The characters stem diameter (SD), primary raceme insertion height (PRI), number of stem internodes (NSI), mean stem internode length (SIL), plant height (PH), number of harvested racemes (NHR), primary raceme length (PRL), and effective raceme length (ERL) were evaluated by analyzing the genetic parameters of variances and correlation between them. Five (H17, H2, H11, H13, and H6) of the 19 hybrids evaluated have potential to decrease PH of castor bean plants, presenting heights below 1.07 m. Direct selection for plant height is the most indicated for this purpose due to the high heritability of the character. However, the characters SD, PRI, and SIL stood out by assisting in indirect selection to decrease plant height because they can be early measured and present high heritability and strong correlation with PH.

Genotypic Coefficient Of Variation

An attempt was made to study genotypic variance, phenotypic variance, environmental variance, genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV), phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV), heritability (h2b) and genetic advance (GA) for some rice genotypes during July 2007 to January 2009 at BSMRAU campus, Gazipur 1706. Significant variations were obtained among the genotypes for all the characters studied. Considering genetic parameters high genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) value was observed for harvest index followed by yield per hill, number of tillers per hill, number of filled grain per panicle, whereas days to maturity showed very low GCV. High heritability with high genetic advance (GA) observed for yield per hill followed by number of tillers per hill, number of filled grains per panicle indicated that these characters were under additive gene control and selection for genetic improvement for these traits might be effective.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v24i2.17004
