Abstract

Variability in respect of growth and anatomical parameters were studied in 15 (11 exotic and 4 indigenous) mulberry germplasm accessions. A wide range of variation observed among different accessions both for growth and anatomical parameters. Analysis of variance showed significance at P<0.01 level in all parameters studied. To find out the association, simple correlation was carried out among the different parameters. High significant and positive correlation observed in shoot number per plant, longest shoot length and total shoot length with leaf yield per plant. Single leaf weight showed negative significant correlation with longest shoot length, internodal distance and survival per cent whereas positive significant association with leaf area and moisture per cent. Among anatomical parameters stomatal frequency showed negative significant association with spongy layer thickness and moisture retention capacity. Besides this, all other characters also showed association among themselves.
