PCA of various component traits on yield in elite linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) genotypes
Author(s): Darshana Patra
Abstract: The current study was conducted with the objective to determine the direct and indirect effects of different component traits on seed yield using PCA (path coefficient analysis) to select the most promising genotypes for their subsequent future use in fifty two elite linseed genotypes. The present experiment was conducted with the materials (48 genotypes and 4 checks) which were evaluated in randomized block design with two replications at EB-II section of the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, OUAT, Bhubaneswar during rabi, 2016-17.The total number of branches per plant is the trait that exhibited highest positive direct effect on seed yield both at genotypic and phenotypic level. Out of several characters under study, days to maturity exhibited highest indirect effect on yield via days to 50% flowering in normal sown condition.
