“…Bird's eye chilli is mostly found to have two to three flowers per axil. Similar results were observed by Padma et al [12] in which all eleven genotypes had two to three flowers per axil. All the bird eye chilli genotypes had erect fruits including the check variety "Vellayani Samruddhi".…”

Chilli is an important commercial crop grown for its pungency. Capsicum frutescens L. is one of the five cultivated species in the genus Capsicum. These are widely used as spice throughout the world due to characteristic pungency and also have applications in pharmaceutical industry. Capsicum frutescens L. exhibits large variation in plant and fruit characters. The present study was conducted to evaluate bird’s eye chilli genotypes and identify the variation for some plant physical characters and fruit morphological traits (qualitative and quantitative). A total of thirty-three genotypes including a check variety viz., Vellayani Samruddhi (C. frutescens L.) were used in the study. Field evaluation was carried out and observations such as leaf shape, leaf pubescence, flowers per axil, fruit orientation (plant physical traits) and fruit shape, fruit curvature, fruit colour, fruit glossiness and seed colour (fruit morphological characters) were recorded. The results on morphological evaluation revealed that most of the genotypes (26) possess ovate shaped leaves with pubescence. Flowers were erect being one to three per axil. All the genotypes had moderately triangular fruit shape with no curvature. The colour of seeds varied among the genotypes including light yellow (UASBCF-19, UASBCF-29 and Vellayani Samruddhi) and rest of the genotypes being orange yellow. The average values for quantitative traits such as fruit length, width, number of locules, pericarp thickness and fruit stalk length were observed to be 1.99 cm, 0.66 cm, 2.00, 0.29 mm and 2.23 cm respectively. This variations in qualitative characters of the fruit can be utilized in crop improvement programme.

“…It is concluded that DUS guidelines can be effectively used for the morphological characterization of genotypes which later on is useful in the process of testing for DUS of the respective genotypes which can be used for developing new varieties. ( Gandamala Raghu et al, 2018) Similar results with regards to plant growth habit, pigmentation, culm branching and branching of lower racemes were reported by (Joshi et al, 2015) and similar variation for various qualitative traits in kodo millet reported by (Nirubana et al, 2019), in chilli by (Padma et al, 2017) and in barnyard millet by Renganathan et al, (2017).…”

The goal of this study is to evaluate the major characteristics of barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacaea L.) varieties, cultivars and mutants to analyse morphological characters on the basis of descriptors with the objective to identify the key diagnostic characters of the genotypes. A group of 11 barnyard millet genotypes were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications to characterize based on their morphological characters viz., Plant growth habit, the number of basal tillers, Culm branching, Plant height (cm), Lodging, Flag leaf length, Flag leaf width, Flag leaf attitude, Inflorescence colour, Stigma colour, Peduncle length (cm), Lower raceme length (cm), Lower raceme thickness, Lower raceme branching, Seed shattering and Seed shape. This experiment revealed the diverse characteristics of germplasms and indicated that the morphological variations exist in collected germplasm is due to the variation in genetic makeup and could be better utilized for field functionaries, certification officers, seed production officers and seed growers for regulating quality of the seed. These differences in morphological traits were helpful in recognition of individual barnyard millet cultures.
