Abstract

Genetic variability, correlation, path coefficient analysis and test of normality was conducted in an F8 recombinant inbred aerobic rice population developed by single seed descent method to evaluate its potential as a mapping population. Estimates of genotypic variance, phenotypic variance, genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV), phenotypic coefficient of variance (PCV), heritability in the broad sense (H) and expected genetic advance at 5% selection index (GA) for grain yield and other attributing characters were computed. In all the cases, PCV was higher than GCV indicating the influence of environment on the characters. High heritability coupled with high GA was observed for several plant traits; number of tillers, plant height, total number of spikelets panicle−1, biomass plant−1, straw weight, harvest index and grain yield plant−1 and hence offered good scope for selection. Grain yield plant−1 was found to be positively correlated with plant height, number of tillers, panicle length, panicle exsertion, number of panicles plant−1, single panicle weight, test weight, number of fertile spikelets panicle−1, straw weight, biomass plant−1, harvest index and grain breadth both at genotypic and phenotypic levels. Harvest index exerted maximum positive direct effect, followed by biomass plant−1 and straw weight on grain yield plant−1 at phenotypic level. Shapiro-Wilks “W test of normality” indicated that the population was skewed towards female parent IR50 for some traits and for some others towards Moroberekan, the male parent. Most of the characters that showed skewness were platykurtic with a kurtosis value of less than 3.
