The objective of this research was to screen the tomato accessions for quantative and qualitative traits under agro climatic condition of Peshawar. 17 tomato accessions with a tomato commercial cultivar were evaluated in randomized complete block design with three replication at The University of Agriculture Peshawar, during kharif season 2016. Quantative traits studied were juice pH, total soluble solids, days to flowering, plant height, fruits plant -1 , fruit weight and fruit yield plant -1 . While qualitative traits comprised plant growth type, canopy size, leaf type, flower inflorance, fruit color, fruit shape and fruit firmness. Highly significant differences were observed among tomato accessions for all the quantative traits studied except juice pH. While qualitative traits showed that maximum accessions had indeterminate growth habit (88.9%), Intermediate canopy size (55.6%), curled leaf type (66.7%), medium number of flowers inflorescence -1 (55.6%), red fruit color (61.1%), deep globe fruits (26.7%) and soft fruit firmness (83.3%). Fruit yield plant
Genetic variability and traits association among mungbean (Vigna radiate) genotypes under rainfed condition. Pure and Applied Biology. Vol. 8, Issue 1, pp215-221. http://dx. AbstractDevelopment of superior cultivars is the prime objective of any plant breeding program. This research was conducted with the aim to study genetic variability and trait association among the mungbean genotypes for yield attributes under rainfed conditions. Fourteen mungbean genotypes were tested in randomized complete block design with three replications at the University of Agriculture Peshawar during spring 2017. Data were noted on different yield contributing traits like days to maturity, plant height, pods plant -1 , pod length, clusters plant -1 , 100-grain weight and grain yield plant -1 . Analysis of variance revealed highly significant difference for all the studied traits. Maximum number of clusters plant -1 were showed by genotypes Mung-Azri-06 (9) VC 6321(9), Mung NM-06 (9) and Mung-Chakwal-06 (9). Mung-Azri-06 revealed maximum pod length (8.6 cm), pods plant -1 (27.37), 100-grain weight 4.40 g) and grain yield (17.90 g). Grain yield showed significant correlation with cluster plant -1 (r = 0.71**), pods plant -1 (r = 0.80**), pod length (r = 0.59*) and 100-grain weight (r = 0.97**). Promising genotypes Mung-Azri-06, Mung-Chakwal-06 and Mung-NCM-257-2 performed best than other genotypes and can be used in future breeding programs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
