Correlation Analysis for Quantitative Traits in a Mapping Population of Chickpea (Cicerarietinum L.) Developed forSeed Traits

摘要

The epresent studies were conducted to the estimation of correlation for quantitative traits in a mapping population developed for seed traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The studies indicated a high positive and significant correlation in the Recombinant Inbred lines for the traits number of seeds per pod and 100-seed weight with yield. Tlie biparental mapping population zvould not only serve as a source for mapping the genes but also provide breeders with valuable breeding material for carrying out selection and improving the targeted traits.
