Genetic Divergence Analysis of Inbred Lines of Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]

Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Elite Genotypes of Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]

“…However, these traits can be improved in heterosis breeding programme by development of hybrid and also by exploitation of transgressive segregants. The result was in agreement with the finding of Chandramouli et al, (2016 and Priyanka et al, (2018) for days to 50 % flowering and for average fruit diameter by Chandra et al, (2014), Bello et al, (2015), Bello and Aminu (2017) and .…”

“…The result was in agreement with the finding of Kumar and Kumar (2014), Patel et al, (2014) and Pachiyappan and Saravannan (2016) for plant height and Pachiyappan and Saravannan (2016), Shivaramegowda et al, (2016), Meenakshi et al, (2017), Mohammad and marker (2017a), Singh et al, (2017 and Priyanka et al, (2018) for average fruit length.…”

“…The PCV and GCV measure the extent of variation present in the population in the particular character. In the present investigation, PCV was higher than the respective GCV for all the traits studied, revealing that the environment had an important role to play in influencing the expression of these characters which is in accordance with findings of Sundaram and Rajkumar (2015), Khajuria et al, (2015), Kandasamy et al, (2015), Jadhav et al, (2016Jadhav et al, ( ), patil et al, (2017, Singh et al, (2017), Niraja et al, (2018) and Priyanka et al, (2018).…”

“…Such result also indicated that selection is not effective for these traits because of the narrow genetic base (Vishwas 2019). Lower magnitude of GCV and PCV were also reported by Pooja et al, (2011), Jagan et al, (2013), Archana et al, (2015), Chandramouli et al, (2016), , Niraja et al, (2018), Priyanka et al, (2018) and for days to 50 % flowering; Patel et al, (2014), Jadhav et al, (2016, Sharma et al, (2016), Meenakshi et al, (2017), Priyanka et al, (2018) and for average fruit length; Adiger et al, (2011), Chandra et al, (2014, Archana et al, (2015), Khajuria et al, (2015), Sharma and Prasad (2015), Jadhav et al, (2016), Shivaramegowda et al, (2016), Mohammad and marker (2017a), Ullangula (2017), Niraja et al, (2018), Vrunda et al, (2018) and for average diameter; Ramanjinappa et al, (2011), Rekha et al, (2015, Chandramouli et al, (2016), Sharma et al, (2016), Singh et al, (2017 and Priyanka et al, (2018) for average fruit weight.…”

Variability estimation and genetic divergence in Cymbopogon winterianus for development of superior genotype

“…High genetic diversity in the parental lines will lead to good performance in the progeny thereby leading to success in hybridization and selection procedure (Murty & Arunachalam, 2005;Bansal, Saini, Rani, & Kaur, 1999). Furthermore, the selection of characters that are the key factors in distinguishing the genotypes would reduce the problem in breeding programs for identifying the desirable parents (Vishnu Priyanka, Thirupathi Reddy, Begum, Sunil, & Jayaprada, 2017). Contour mapping of the nine traits with reference to the clusters were plotted which depicted that Clusters 1 and 7 are the satisfied assessors for citronellal content and leaf breadth with 56 and 44% affinity towards it.…”
