dc.description.abstract | Sesame is an important edible oil seed crop, extensively grown in India. The present investigation was undertaken to characterize sesame germplasm and to know the extent of genetic variability, nature and magnitude of associations and direct and indirect effects of component characters. Ninety germplasm lines were grown in randomized block design with three replications at the Agricultural Research Station, J.A.U., Amreli during Kharif200S. The observations were recorded for five qualitative characters and fourteen quantitative traits. Qualitative traits were branching pattern, capsule arrangement, locules per capsule, seed colour and hair on capsule. Quantitative traits recorded on five randomly selected plants in each plot were days to initiation of flowering, days to 50 % flowering, reproductive period, days to maturity, plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of capsules per plant, length of capsule, number of seeds per capsule, 1000 seed weight, oil content, biological yield per plant, harvest index and seed yield per plant. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes for all the characters. The value of GCV was higher for biological yield per plant followed by seed yield per plant, harvest index and number of capsules per plant. Whereas, PCV value was higher for biological yield per plant followed by seed yield per plant, harvest index, number of primary branches per plant and number of capsules per plant. High heritability was associated with high genetic advance for seed yield per plant, number of seeds per capsule, harvest index, biological yield per plant and number of capsules per plant. In most of the cases, high genetic advance was accompanied with high heritability. Number of capsules per plant, oil content, biological yield per plant and harvest index but not days to maturity was associated significantly and negatively with seed yield per plant. Reproductive period, plant height, length of capsule, biological yield per plant and harvest index were the characters, which had a major share toward seed yield directly. Indirect contribution by number of primary branches per plant, plant height, number of capsules per plant, reproductive period, harvest index and biological yield was seen and strong positive association between number of capsules per plant, oil content, harvest index and seed yield per plant as well as biological yield per plant indicated that emphasis should also be given to the number of capsules per plant and biological yield per plant in selection programme for improvement of seed yield in sesame | en_US |
