Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Accessions differed significantly for most studied traits.
- Observation Emergence percentage had high broad sense heritability and genetic advance.
- Observation Seeds per pod had high broad sense heritability and genetic advance.
- Observation Seed weight had high broad sense heritability and genetic advance.
- Association Seeds per plant correlated positively with pods per plant and seed yield.
- Recommendation Selection for those associated seed traits was interpreted to increase yield.
- Method / resource The first two PCs accounted for more than 75.63% of variation among accessions.
- Observation Genotype by trait plots showed differing associations and interactions.
- Association Seed yield associated positively with most traits, especially peduncles and seeds per plant and terminal leaflet dimensions.
