| dc.description.abstract | An endeavor was made during 2015-16 to characterize 21 genotypes of Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae L.) for various morphological and physiological traits under open field condition at ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Hessaraghatta, Bengaluru, Karnataka. Among growth parameters, genotype BOP 41 recorded higher plant height (166.3 cm), fans per plant (29.67), leaves per plant (389) and plant spread (NS-279.67 cm, EW-275.33 cm) indicating the vigor of plant. Genotype BOP 33 exhibited higher leaf lamina length (40.51 cm), lamina breadth (13.67 cm), leaf length (124.18 cm) with higher specific leaf area (311.92 cm 2 g -1 ). Among flower quality parameters BOP 45 recorded higher spike length (149.43 cm) and stalk length (128.66 cm), whereas maximum fresh weight (140.09 g), spathe diameter (23.09 mm), spike diameter (16.33 mm) with longer vase life (10 days) was recorded in genotype BOP 33. Genotype BOP 41 found superior with respect to spike yield per plant (41.33). Among physiological parameters, genotype BOP 45 recorded higher leaf wax content (0.62 mg cm-2 ) with relative water content (94.91%). Whereas transpiration rate (6.61 m mol m-2 s -1 ), photosynthesis rate (7.33 ยต mol CO2 m -2 s -1 ) with stomatal conductance (0.11 mol m-2 s -1 ) and total chlorophyll content (2.63 mol m-2 s -1 ) was higher in genotype BOP 16 and stomata number was maximum (40.80 mm-2 ) in genotype BOP 31. With respect to flower color pigment maximum anthocyanin content was found in genotype BOP 22 (124.65 mg 100g-1 ), while genotype BOP 6 recorded maximum carotenoid content (22.31 mg 100g-1 ) indicating bright colored flower production. The genotypes expressing better morphology can be used as a trait specific germplasm in breeding programme. The results of physiological parameters viz., leaf wax, stomatal density and transpiration rate will be useful for breeders to identify BOP genotypes with better drought tolerance. | en_US |
