Genetic variability, Heritability and Genetic Advance in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.em. Thell.) under Salinity Stress Conditions

Abstract

Twelve wheat genotypes were studied under salinity conditions. Grain yield per plot and harvest index recorded the highest phenotypic and genotypic variations. Also high heritability was recorded by grown yield per plot thus suggesting direct selection for yield would be effective under saline conditions. Maximum genetic advance as per cent of mean was also recorded by grain yield and harvest index

Keywords: Bread wheat, genetic variability, Saline tolerance
