Variation in Pod and Seed Characteristics of Acacia catechu (Willd.) in Garhwal Himalayas

Variations with respect to different pod and seed morphological characters of Acacia catechu (Willd.) collected from different sources in Garhwal Himalayas were studied. Significant inter-genotypic differences were recorded for all the pod and seed characteristics. viz., total no. of seeds/pod, healthy and damaged seeds/pod, seed length, width, thickness and seed weight. Except for damaged seeds/pod and seed width, the heritability (h2) values were higher than 75 per cent while low genetic advance was observed in all characters. A number of traits were found to have interrelationship at varying levels of significance.

Abstract


Variations with respect to different pod and seed morphological characters of Acacia catechu (Willd.) collected from different sources in Garhwal Himalayas were studied. Significant inter-genotypic differences were recorded for all the pod and seed characteristics. viz., total no. of seeds/pod, healthy and damaged seeds/pod, seed length, width, thickness and seed weight. Except for damaged seeds/pod and seed width, the heritability (h2) values were higher than 75 per cent while low genetic advance was observed in all characters. A number of traits were found to have interrelationship at varying levels of significance.
