GENETIC VARIATION AND ASSOCIATION OF VARIOUS CHICKPEA (CICER ARIETINUM L.) TRAITS AT SEEDLING STAGE
Keywords:
Cicer arietinum, genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, morphologicalAbstract
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the world's second most important legume crop. Because of its high nutritional content, capacity to adapt to many climates, and ability to fix nitrogen, it is significant for global food security and sustainable practices. At the University of the Punjab's Experimental Area, a pot experiment was conducted in October 2023 to evaluate the genetic variability and correlation of diverse morphological characteristics among distinct chickpea genotypes throughout the seedling phase. Three replications with a randomized complete block design (RCBD) were used. The following characteristics were assessed: leaf length (LL), leaf width (LW), leaf area (LA), shoot length (SL), root length (RL), seedling biomass (SB), and R-S ratio. Standard statistical analysis also calculated genetic variability, heritability (h2bs), and genetic advance (GA). Seedling biomass, leaf area, and leaf width showed high genotypic coefficients of variation (GCV), heritability and genetic advance. These genotypes can be selected to develop desirable varieties based on these parameters.
