Variability, heritability and genetic advance were studied in eight varieties of toria (Brassica compestris var. toria). The genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) was highest for 1000 seed weight and high for number of primary and secondary branches per plant. The highest phenotypic coefficient of Variation (PCV) was observed for number of secondary branches followed by number of capsules per plant, number of primary branches per plant, 1000 seed weight and number of seeds per capsule. The highest heritability was observed for 1000 seed weight followed by plant height, number of primary branches per plant, days to maturity and number of seeds per capsule. The genetic advance as % of mean was observed highest for 1000 seed weight and high for plant height and number of primary branches.
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.
