    Studies on genetic variability analysis in rice (Oryza sativa L.) under saline-alkaline condition
    (ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2015-06-24) Chaudhary, Chritra; Verma, G.P.
    The present investigation entitled “Studies on genetic variability analysis in rice (Oryza sativa L.) under saline- alkaline condition” was conducted at Genetics and Plant Breeding Research Farm, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad under saline-alkaline soil condition (8.9 pH=8.9; EC=2.45dSm-1; ESP=44%) during Kharif 2014. The experimental materials consisted of eighty germplasm and four checks viz., CSR 10, Jaya, Narendra Usar 3 and Swarna Sub 1. These genotypes exhibited wide spectrum of variability for various agronomical and morphological characters. The experiment was conducted in Augmented Block Design having eight blocks of fourteen plots in each block. Each plot consisted of single row of 3 meter length with the spacing between rows and within plants 20 cm and 15 cm, respectively. The characters studied were days to 50% flowering, flag leaf area (cm2), plant height (cm), panicle bearing tillers per plant, panicle length (cm), spikelets per panicle, spikelet fertility (%), 1000-grain weight (g), grains per panicle, L/B ratio, biological yield per plant (g), harvest index (%) and grain yield per plant (g). The data recorded on these characters was utilized for estimation of mean, range, variance, correlations, path-coefficients and genetic divergence. The salient findings of the study and conclusion drawn are summarized below: The most promising lines showing highest seed yield with high mean performance for yield contributing traits were identified. 1. The genotype NDRK 5064, IR 83439-4-B-11-3-2-1-AJY1-3-B, NDRK 5014, NDRK 5075, A 69-1, NDRK 5008, NDRK 5019 and NDRK 5005 produced high grain yield per plan; IR 45427-2B-2-2B-1-1, NDR 507 and NDRK 50039 for early days to 50 per cent flowering; Narendra 6029, IR 45427-2B-2-2B-1-1 and NDRK 50039 for greater flag leaf area; NDR 507, IR 85920-1-1-2-1-AJY1-2B and FL 478 for short stature; NDRK 50047, NDRK 5059 and NDRK 5064for highest panicle bearing tillers per plant; NDRK 50039, NDRK 5095 and NDRK 5067 for longer panicle length (cm); Vikas, NDRK 5064 and NDRK 5014 for spikelets per panicle; NDRK 5082, NDRK 5015 and NDRK 50047 for spikelet fertility (%); IR 83439-4-B-11-3-2-1-AJY1-3-B, NDRK 5095 and CSR 36for biological yield per plant (g); NDRK 5088, IR 76397-28-6-1-1-1-1 and NDRK 5019for harvest index (%); NDRK 5017,

    (ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2013-06-06) Shukla, Shashank Shekhar; Singh, B.N>
    The present investigation entitled “Variability, character association and genetic diversity in indigenous and exotic lines of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) was undertaken to (i) Estimate the extent of variability in the indigenous and exotic lines of wheat. (ii) Estimate the correlation coefficient among various characters, (iii)Find out direct and indirect effects of yield components on grain yield by path coefficient analysis and (iv) To examine exhisting genetic diversity among collection. In the present investigation, 210 indigenous and exotic lines of wheat along with 3 checks were evaluated in timely sown and irrigated conditions during Rabi, 2011-12. The trial was conducted in augmented design having 7 block of 33 plots each, at the main experiment station of Narendra deva university of agriculture and technology Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad. The characters studied were Days to 50% flowering, Flag leaf area (cm), Ear length (cm), Plant height (cm), Tillers/plant, Peduncle length (cm), Maturity days, 1000-grain weight (g), Biological yield/plant (g), Grain yield/plant (g), Harvest index (%). The data on 11 characters was utilized for estimation of mean, range and least significant differences, correlations, path coefficients and genetic divergence The genotypes IBWSN-1226, IBWSN-1223, IBWSN-1228, SAWYT-311, DDW22, and IBWSN-1012 produced higher grain yield. This genotype was also posses’ higher mean performance for several other characters. The grain yield/plant showed positive and highly significant correlation with harvest index, biological yield/plant, days to maturity, tillers/plant. Path analysis identified biological yield/plant followed by harvest index emerged as most important direct contributors towards grain yield/plant .The Nonhierarchical Euclidean cluster analysis grouped 213 exotic and indigenous varieties/lines into fifteen distinct and non-over lapping clusters. The highest inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster VII and cluster XI followed by cluster VII and cluster XII. Thus, crosses between promising lines belonging to cluster pairs having higher inter-cluster distances may be attempted for isolating transgressive segregants as these cluster pairs were also separated by high inter-cluster distances.

    (ANDUAT,KUMARGANJ,AYODHYA, 2016-06-28) SINGH, VIPIN PRATAP; KUSHWAHA, G.D.
    The present investigation entitled “Germplasm evaluation, character association and genetic divergencein wheat [TriticumaestivumL. em. Thell.]”wasconducted at Main Experiment Station (MES) of N.D. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad(U.P.) during Rabi 2015-2016.Thirty three varieties of bread wheat along with three checks. The experiment was laid out in Augmented Block Design. The entire experimental field was divided into 5 blocks of equal size and each block had 6 plots of test entries along with three checks in each block. The characters studiedwere days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, spike length, tillers per plant, peduncle length, 1000- grain weight, biological yield per plant, harvest index and grain yield per plant. The assessment of existing variability in the indigenous collections was done by computing means, range, correlations, path-coefficients andgenetic divergence. The wide range of variation for different characters and comparison of means of germplasm line indicating existence of very high degree of variability for all the characters in the lines of wheat, The variety produced highest grain yield per plant followed by ESWYT-108 (9.34g), EBWYT-529 (9.29g), ESWYT-146 (8.96g), EBWYT-510 (8.83g) and EBWYT-503 (8.78g) while these lines also possessed average to high mean performance for most of the yield components. Therefore, these entries are identified as most promising varieties/lines for use in hybridization program me as a donor parents. The other promising genotypes for other character than grain yield per plant is HRWYT-222 (44.96g)for 1000-grain weight, EBWYT-503 (23.47g) for biological yield per plant, DBW-88 (110.00days)for days to maturity, ESWYT-131 (20.22cm) for highest peduncle length and ESWYT-131(16.08cm) for minimum peduncle length, EBWYT-529 (7.00) for tillers per plant, EBWYT-507 (88.95cm) for plant height, ESWYT-134(10.77cm) for spike length, ESWYT-145 (80.00days) for days to 50% flowering, ESWYT-146 (44.28%) for harvest index. A very strong positive association of grain yield per plant was observed with harvest index (0.7790cm) followed by biological yield/ plant (0.7674g), spike length (0.6077cm) and 1000-grain weight (0.5151g). The characters showing highly significant positive correlation among yield and its components suggested that during selection these characters may be given due to importance for developing high yielding varieties. The days to maturity & test weight showed non-significant negative correlation with grain yield per plant.
