Effect of Genotypes and Pre-Sowing Treatments on Seed Germination Behaviour of Jatropha

The objective of the study was to explore the effects of pre-sowing seed treatments on germination behaviour and to assess the possibilities of increasing the germination rate of Jatropha curcas. Seeds of twenty jatropha accessions obtained from seven different sources were subjected to three pre-sowing treatments viz....

Genetic Variability and Character Association in F2 Segregating Population of Different Commercial Hy

The F2 segregating generations of exotic tomato hybrids were studied to measure variability, character association and path coefficient analysis. Analysis of variance for each trait showed significant differences among the genotypes. Very little differences were observed between phenotypic coefficients of variation (PC...

Jatropha: A multipurpose plant with considerable potential for the tropics

Jatropha curcas L is a multipurpose shrub and a member of the family Euphorbeaceae with several attributes and considerable potential. The present review article discussed the reported recent research on the cultivation and utilization of various parts of jatropha plant for different applications. J. curcas L is a trop...

Physiochemical Properties of Jatropha curcas Seed Oil from Different Origins and Candidate Plus P

The physicochemical properties ofJatrophaseed oil from 9 geographical origins and 24 candidate plus plants (CPPs) were evaluated. The yield of seed oil obtained by Soxhlet extraction usingn‐hexane as solvent varied from 40.0% (Malaysia) to 48.4% (Vietnam) among seeds from different origins and 32.1% (CPP‐17) to 48....

Genetic variability, correlation and path analysis in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

Genotypic and phenotypic variability, heritability, genetic advance, correlation coefficients and path coefficients analysis were done for yield and its contributing characters in 28 genotypes of potato. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean and high genotypic coefficients of variation ...
