Abstract

Coriander, an important herb, is popular throughout the globe essentially as a spice. The current research was conducted at BCKV (Agricultural University), India to study on genetic variability and diversity amongst selected genotypes. A few phenological, morphological, and yield attributing traits viz., days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of basal leaves/plant, number of primary branches/plant, number of secondary branches/plant, number of umbels/plant, number of umbellates/umbel, number of seeds/umbel, test weight and seed yield/plant expressed high heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean. Such traits were least influenced by environment suggesting the role of additive gene action in their eventual expression. Variability observed in traits with very high heritability values were under genetic control and offers huge scope for conducting selection based on phenotype. Traits viz., number of days to maturity revealed moderate genetic advance as percent of mean stating non-additive gene action. Based on correlation analysis, the seed yield/plant was significant and positively correlated with number of umbels/plant followed by number of primary branches/plant, number of seeds/plant and number of days to maturity which suffice that seed yield/plant would be increased by an increase in such components. On path coefficient analysis, maximum positive direct effect on seed yield/plant was registered by some traits which can be considered as an important criterion in terms of coriander improvement. As per Mahalanobis D2 analysis, the genotypes were grouped into five clusters. Cluster I had 6 genotypes followed by cluster II with 3 genotypes, while cluster III, IV and V had 2 genotypes each. Wide variation existed in the coriander genotypes under study which could be made use of in future breeding programs.
