Variability and Heritability in Segregating Generation of Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)

Abstract

By resorting to hybridization, attempts are being made to widen the variability and to evolve high yielding genotypes. Inheritance of yield is governed by polygenes, which include heritable and non-heritable variations. Estimates of heritability along with genetic advance are helpful to breeder in exercising the selection effectively. The present study was undertaken to evaluate F4 segregating population of the four interspecific crosses to assess the magnitude of variability and to understand heritable component of variation in eggplant.

Keywords: Eggplant, Variability, Heritability, high yielding genotypes
