Genetic Variability and Heritability Analysis for Yield and Quality Attributes in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

摘要

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important cereal crop in India and there is also a great demand from the farmers to grow high yielding and fine grain types to get premium market price. In order to breed suitable cultivars to suit the farmer's demand, knowledge on the nature and magnitude of genotypic and phenotypic variability present in the germplasm lines plays a vital role in evolving successful selections. Hence, the present investigation has been undertaken to assess the important genetic parameters in the selected lines of rice.
