chickpea, heritability, genetic advance, phenotypic variationAbstract
Chickpeas are legume crops cultivated and eaten, particularly in Asian nations. This is an excellent source of protein and carbs, with the protein quality considered superior to that of other pulses. The current study aimed to examine the genetic progress of different parameters at the seedling stage by analyzing their phenotypic attributes. During the 2022–2023 growing season, a Randomized complete block design (RCBD) experiment was set up in the University of the Punjab's agricultural area. Five different genotypes were used in the experiment. At the seedling stage, data on seven morphological criteria were collected. A combined variance (ANOVA) and correlation analysis was carried out using statistical tools. The PCV and GCV for leaf-width, root length, root-shoot ratio have shown little variation, indicating that these parameters were because of genetic factors with less influence of outer-factors(environment). Root-shoot ratio has shown a significant correlation for root length. Similarly leaf area has shown a strong correlation with leaf width. The parameters, Root length, leaf width and root-shoot ratio have shown high heritability, which signifies the ease of selection based on phenotypic appearance.
