Abstract
An experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) season of 2022 at ICAR-Indian Institute of Rice Research, Hyderabad, Telangana to evaluate extent of genetic variability, heritability, diversity and the relationship between yield and its component traits in a collection of 60 rice germplasm accessions. Results showed that germplasm accessions exhibited ample genetic variability and diversity for yield traits. Based on per se performance, inter crosses between the genotypes IC458483 with high grain yield, IC210775 with more panicle length, IC75919 with high 100-grain weight, IC75980 with more productive tillers and IC75965 with high protein content could produce positive transgressive segregants for improving respective traits. Plant height, total and effective tillers, grain yield and 100-grain weight traits which exhibited the highest heritability and genetic advance could be vital for selection in hybridization programmes. Crossing among genotypes of diverse clusters specifically VI, VII and VIII is suggested as this could create a broad variation useful for selecting genotypes with both high yield and long panicles.
