MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF DIVERGENCE IN UPLAND COTTON

Published on Oct 06, 2020 02:14 AM

IN hybrid breeding programmes, diversity of parents is always emphasised.
The more diverse the parents, within a reasonable range, the more the chances
of improving the character in view. The progenies derived from a set of diverse
crosses are expected to exhibit similarly a broad spectrum of variability. In
self-fertilizing crops, the within-family variance is expected to be lower than
the variances due to families and progenies in families. Breeders apply directional selection pressure while isolating the desirable progenies in subsequent
segregating generations and thus the above statement may not hold true. It will
be of considerable interest to
