TLDR
Analysis of Variance of 25 finger millet advanced breeding lines revealed significant variation for all the traits studied, implying the presence of larger variability for yield and other related traits which can be exploited in finger Millet improvement.Abstract:
The present investigation was undertaken to study the genetic variability, heritability and correlation of grain yield and yield related traits. Analysis of Variance of 25 finger millet advanced breeding lines revealed significant variation for all the traits studied. The mean grain yield was 31.50 q/ha, with a minimum of 29.22 and maximum of 39.74 q/ha. Grain yield recorded genotypic coefficient of variation of 12.86, while phenotypic coefficient of variation was 18.06 q/ha. Heritability ranged from 0.35 (number of finger per ear) to 0.88 (days to 50% flowering), while heritability for yield was 0.51. Number of tillers per plant and number of fingers per ear were observed to be highly associated with yield. The present findings implies the presence of larger variability for yield and other related traits which can be exploited in finger millet improvement.read more

TL;DR: For the next few weeks the course is going to be exploring a field that’s actually older than classical population genetics, although the approach it’ll be taking to it involves the use of population genetic machinery.

Trait association and genetic variability in browntop millet
TL;DR: Assessment of genetic variability and associations of various economic traits at Agricultural Research Station, Vizianagaram found selection for high grain and fodder yield can be relied upon selection for more number of days to 50% flowering and days to maturity as grain and feed yield are significantly associated in positive direction.

TL;DR: The growing public awareness of nutrition and health care research substantiates the potential of phytochemicals such as polyphenols and dietary fiber on their health beneficial properties and there is in need to identify newer sources of neutraceuticals and other natural and nutritional materials with the desirable functional characteristics.
Genetic Variation, Heritability and Path-Analysis in Ethiopian Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn) Landraces
TL;DR: A total of 66 finger millet accessions constituted of 64 landraces and two standard varieties were evaluated for 15 morpho-agronomic characters in randomized complete block design with three replications at Aresi-Negele Research Sub-Center in Ethiopia during 2004 main cropping season as mentioned in this paper.
