Abstract
Morphological evaluation of wheat genotypes for grain yield under arid environment of Balochistan
Highlights
Drought is a leading environmental stress that restricts the productivity of wheat in water-scare regions
The experimental material consists of ten advance wheat lines, encoded as BAC-51, BAC-52, BAC-53, BAC-54, BAC-55, BAC-56, BAC57, BAC-58, BAC-59 and BAC-60 were collected from wheat wide crosses breeding program, National Agriculture Research Centre (NARC), Islamabad and two local checks includes, Sariab-92 and Tijaban-10 obtained from ARI, Sariab Quetta
Ten randomly selected plants of each genotype from each replication were harvested and data was recorded for number of days to heading (DTH), maturity days (DM), plant height (PH), days to grains filling period (DGFP), number of fertile tillers per plant (NFTP), number of grains per spike (NGPS), grain yield plant-1 (GYP), 1000-grain weight (g) (TSW), and total grain yield (GYH)
Summary
Drought is a leading environmental stress that restricts the productivity of wheat in water-scare regions. The grain formation period, is the most critical time, so local wheat genotypes in these areas are highly adaptable to the multifarious environmental conditions [15]. The present study was aimed to evaluate the wheat advance lines for high grain productivity under arid condition and to estimate the phenotypic diversity of studied genetic material.
