Abstract

The variability, heritability and genetic advance was studied in 60 clones of Populus deltoides under nursery conditions during 2000 and 2001. The data was recorded for sprouting percentage, survival percentage, total height, basal diameter, clear bole height, number of branches, tapering and internodal length and analysed. The Phenotypic Coefficient of Variation, Genotypic Coefficient of Variation & Heritability estimates reflected the predominance of heritable variation for total height, basal diameter, clear bole height and number of branches. The estimates of genetic advance as percentage of mean suggested the potentiality of clonal material for improvement through selection for total height, basal diameter, clear bole height and number of branches.

Abstract

In osmotic dehydration, the sapota samples were dried by immersing in a sugar syrup solution in three sugar concentrations 30, 40 and 50 oBrix at three syrup temperatures 30, 40 and 50oC. In the process, exchange of various components as loss of water and sugar gain from and by the samples takes place. The water loss, sugar gain and mass reduction were found to be 13.54 to 30.25; 23.84 to 36.66 and 3.80 to 6.40 per cent in 30, 40, and 50 oBrix sugar solution at 30, 40, and 50oC.

Abstract

The works of Scott [6] and Debnath [2] on Jacobi transforms and its use in problems on conduction of heat show the interest in orthogonal polynomials and functions ; and results obtained in this paper may be utilised in forming transforms, useful in solving problems on conduction of heat under different conditions.
