Studies on Genetic Variability among various Horticultural Traits of Bottle Gourd

TL;DR: High heritability (broad sense) estimates coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean were observed for yield and other horticultural traits as well as the analysis of variance showed significant variation among different genotypes for all the traits under study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variability and character association study for yield and its component traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

TL;DR: The analysis of variance revealed significant differences for the characters under study, indicating the presence of high genetic variability among the genotypes, and the value of PCV was relatively higher than GCV values with small differences which indicate less environmental influence on the expression of all the traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study on Floral Traits of Male Sterile and Fertile Lines for Hybrid Development in Bread Wheat

TL;DR: At present in India, wheat is the second most important cereal crop after rice grown under diverse agro-climatic condition, but India cannot be complacent with regard to the efforts to produce more to meet the food security requirement.

Line x Tester Analysis in American cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

TL;DR: Vadodariya et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted a line-x tester analysis in American cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) with a view to estimate heterosis, combining ability and nature of gene action in upland hybrid cotton.
Journal Article

Genetic studies of yield and quality traits in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.)

TL;DR: The results revealed that breeding approaches like biparental mating followed by recurrent selection, diallel and line x tester selective mating design etc., are suggested to identify desirable transgressive segregants for further improvement of these traits.

Salinity induced oxidative stress and antioxidant system in salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive cultivars of rice Oryza sativa L

TL;DR: It is inferred that leaves of salt-tolerant cultivars tend to attain greater capacity to perform reactions of antioxidative pathway under saline conditions to combat salinity-induced oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbial properties of soils as affected by cropping and nutrient management practices in several long-term manurial experiments in the semi-arid tropics of India

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of longterm cropping, fertilization, manuring and their integration on microbial community were studied in soil samples from five long-term fertilizer experiments under various rainfed production systems in the semi-arid tropics of India.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus levels due to deforestation and cultivation: A case study in Simlipal National Park, India

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that deforestation and cultivation result in statistically significant reduction in organic C, total N and C:N ratios but no significant changes in total and available P levels; C:P and N:P ratios also reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arsenic-tolerant, arsenite-oxidising bacterial strains in the contaminated soils of West Bengal, India

TL;DR: This study presents the first correlation regarding the presence of the aoxB gene and As(III) oxidation ability in Geobacillus stearothermophilus, and identifies four strains as superior As-oxidisers.

Genetic Variability Studies for Qualitative and Quantitative traits in Popular Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Hybrids of India

TL;DR: The characters viz., number of filled grains per panicle and water uptake exhibited high heritability coupled with high genetic advance indicating that simple selection could be effective for improving these characters.
