Sixty hybrids were developed by crossing four testers with each of the fifteen lines in Line x Tester design at Vegetable Research Station, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The potent lines viz., 11/TODVAR-1, 11/TODVAR-3. H-86, 12/TODVAR-2, 12/TODVAR-8 and NP-NILD registered highest positive gca effects for quantitative attributes plant he...
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) can be grown throughout the year but its production is hampered due to attack of several diseases. In tropics and subtropics, tomato leaf curl disease (ToLCD), late blight (LB) and root knot nematode (RKN) are the major diseases, which can cause 90-100 percent losses of yield and quality. Hence, six genes (Ty-1, Ty-2, Ty-3, Ph-2,...
The present investigation entitled “Hybrid breeding in okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]” was carried out at Vegetable Research Farm,Department of Horticulture, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, BHU, Varanasi. The study material for the present investigation composed of twenty genetically diverse parents (17 lines and 3 testers) and their 51 crosses for t...
The present investigation was conducted at vegetable research farm, Department of Vegetable Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana for “Identification and characterization of salt tolerant genotypes and salt tolerant gene in brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)” during the year 2016-18. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four salinity levels...
The study was conducted on identification and development of male-sterile (ms) lines in the short-day onion genotypes was carried out at College of Horticulture, UHS campus, Bengaluru during 2017-19 for the exploitation of male-sterility trait in onion. Amongst, the genotypes COHBONC01, COHBONC15, COHBONC18, COHBONC33, COHBONC34 and the selfed lines COHBONC01-S1, C...
Carrot (Daucuscarota, 2n=18) is an important vegetable crop, providing pro-vitamin A, carotenoids in the human diet. The genes coding for the carotenoid pathway enzymes are evolutionarily conserved, but little information exists about these genes in carrot.This study focused to characterize candidate gene sequence of carotenoid pathway specific genes in orange, bla...
The present investigation on “Identification of male sterile lines in white onion’’ (Allium cepa L.)” was carried out at the Vegetable crops division, Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Bengaluru. The experimental site had red clay loam soil and is located an altitude of 890 meters above mean sea level. The experiment was carried out with Randomiz...
Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench, 2n=2x=130] known as Bhendi or lady’s finger is one of the important vegetable crops of Malvaceae family. It is one of the popular vegetables grown commercially by the farmer’s almost round the year in one or another parts of the country which fetches them higher profit. Though India is the largest producer of okra in th...
The present study was carried out at Department of Vegetable Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during 2010 to 2012. The experimental material consisted of 39 F1s of garden pea (obtained through line x tester method by using 13 lines and 3 testers), 13 lines, 3 testers and 2 checks viz. Arkel and MA-6 were grown in November 2011. Highly significant G...
The investigation was carried out at Department of vwgetable Science, College of Horticulture, Bengaluru during 2015-2016. Genetic variability, correlation and path co-efficient analysis were studied in the F2 Segregating progenies of two selected crosses viz. IIHR-2201 X C-13-1-2-1 and D-12-1-6-1 X D-6-1-6-1. F2 progenies were also screened for ToLCV disease resis...
