Genetic analysis of fruit and seed parameters in teak (Tectona grandis L. F.): Implications in seed production programme

Published on Aug 24, 2018 03:39 AM

Genetic analysis of fruit and seed parameters in teak
(Tectona grandis L. F.) was carried out using open
pollinated fruits from 40 plus trees of Madhya Pradesh,
Central India. The results indicated highly significant
variation for all the characters studied. Fruit size, fruit
weight and seed weight exhibited moderately high to very
high heritabilities coupled with relatively high genetic gain
for fruit and seed weight. Fruit size showed significant
phenotypic and high genotypic correlations with fruit
weight filled and unfilled locule. Implications of the
present findings in seed production programme of teak
have been discussed.
