A technique to derive dikaryons through intra-specific Compatible mating-pairs of Pleurotus florida

Abstract

Sixty three (63) yellow seeded linseed genotypes taken from AICRP on linseed, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) along with three checks (Surabhi, R-552, RLC-92) were evaluated for association analysis among yield and yield contributing traits in yellow seeded linseed at Raipur (C.G.). Among all the traits showing significant correlation, days to 50% flowering was found to have significant positive correlation with days to maturity(0.659) whereas, it was found negatively correlated to seed length(-0.691). Seed length was also found to be negatively correlated to days to maturity (-0.691). Number of capsules/plant and number of seeds per plant showed a positive significant correlation (0.965). Seed yield per plant showed the highest significant correlation with number of seeds per plant (0.73) followed by number of capsules per plant (0.696).
