Research Note Characterization and assessment of variability in upland rice collections

摘要: The upland rice accessions are natural reservoir of genetic variability for various biotic and abiotic stresses. Forty eight germplasm were evaluated characterized fourteen quantitative fifteen qualitative traits. Analysis variance revealed that existence significant variation among all the High genotypic phenotypic coefficient variation, heritability advance as per cent mean was recorded total number grains panicle, fertile spikelet effective tillers plant, leaf width grain yield plant. Among traits found to be high blade colour, pubescence, ligule shape, panicle shattering, senescence sterile lemma colour. PKSLGR-16, PKSLGR-23, PKSLGR-43 PKSLGR-45 most promising two four its component
