Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation OH8 performed better under normal and drought stress.
- Observation K55TMS performed better under normal and drought stress.
- Observation A495-2 performed better under normal and drought stress.
- Observation Shoot length had higher heritability and genetic advance.
- Observation Root weight had higher heritability and genetic advance.
- Observation Seedling biomass had higher heritability and genetic advance.
- Association Root length correlated significantly with shoot length, fresh biomass, dry root length and dry shoot weight.
- Association Genotypes with higher root and shoot length showed drought resistance.
