“…The path coefficient analysis showed that root length (0.487), root dry weight (0.394) and shoot dry weight (0.047) had direct positive effect on standard evaluation score at genotypic level (Table 4) where live leaves (%) (0.168), total number of roots (0.006), chlorophyll content (0.243) and shoot fresh weight (0.102) had direct positive effect on standard evaluation score at phenotypic level (Table 5) indicating their importance in determining complex characters. A similar finding has also been reported by Osman et al (2012). Chlorophyll content (−0.065) had maximum direct negative effect on standard evaluation score followed by total number of roots (−0.101), live leaves (%) (−0.112), root fresh weight (−0.267), shoot length (−0.417), shoot fresh weight (−0.538) and survival rate (−0.675) at genotypic level (Table 4) and root fresh weight (−0.081) had maximum direct negative effect on standard evaluation score at phenotypic level followed by shoot length (−0.106), survival rate (−0.113), shoot dry weight (−0.153), root length (−0.172) and root dry weight (−0.594) (Table 5).…”

“…To boost the yield potential of upland rice, it is necessary to identify cultivars with improved yield and other desirable agronomic characters, to overcome the global problem of hunger and starvation, especially in African countries [7]. Genetic variation is the basis of plant breeding and provides a great array of genotypes that can be selected to develop new varieties or breeding materials [8].…”

“…Earlier workers like Abarshahr et al, (2011) and Osman et al, (2012) have reported the significant differences among the genotypes for all the characters they considered. The estimates of mean and range for all 10 quantitative traits were indicated in table 2.…”
