INTER-CLONAL VARIATION IN DALBERGIA SISSOO ROXB.WITH RESPECT TO PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENTS, PROTEIN, SUGAR AND STARCH CONTENTS IN DIFFERENT CLIMATIC ZONES

摘要

Inter-clonal variation in Dalbergia sissoo was found significant for photosynthetic pigments, protein, sugar and starch in different sites. Clones from the states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Uttarakhand showed the maximum protein, sugar and starch contents in comparison to the clones from the state of Rajasthan. Effect of sites on these parameters of clones was also observed significant. Clones showed maximum value for these parameters at Bithmera (Hisar, Haryana), while minimum at Pandhori Mindo Mind (Hoshiyarpur, Punjab). The two-factor interaction effect between clone and site was also found significant at P=0.05. On the basis of the observations recorded pertaining to biochemical parameters; it was observed that clones C019, C034, C066 and C192 are well adapted at all sites compared to the clones C083 and C087.
