Title : Genetic Parameters Studies in Segregating Population of Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract :

The experiment of present investigation was conducted to evaluate the 50 wheat genotypes (segregating population lines) along with 5 checks in Augmented Block Design at Research Farm of Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding, School of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab. The Analysis of variance for 50 genotypes (F4 segregating population) and 5 check varieties revealed that the treatments are highly significant for days to 50% heading, days to maturity, plant height, number of spikelets per ear, number of grains per spike, spike length. The phenotypic coefficient of variation was greater in magnitude than genotypic coefficient of variation for all the characters under study. High values for both the phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation were observed in number of productive tillers per plant. Very high heritability with high genetic advance was observed for characters such as number of tillers per plant, number of productive tillers per plant, 1000-grain weight, biological yield, harvest index.
