Variation and Heritability for Some Quality Characteristics and Grain Yield in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. )

摘要

An investigation was carried out during 2012-13 at Wheat Improvement Project, Seed Breeding Farm, JNKW, Jabalpur. To elicit information on genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for yield and quality in 30 promising genotypes of bread wheat. The character starch content recorded least PCV and GCV whereas, yield plant~(-1) (gm) and sedimentation value exhibited high values of PCV and GCV. High heritability was observed in all the characters studied except moisture content and high heritability coupled with high genetic advance as a percentage of mean were recorded for yield plant~(-1), wet gluten, sedimentation values and protein.
