Genetic Gain and Heritability of Seedling Characters Selected at a Low Temperature in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum typhoideum Rich.)
One cycle of selection was applied for studying genetic gain and heritability of seedling characters such as shoot length and root length at a low temperature in two genetic populations. The correlation of these characters to yield components was also examined. Selection had a significant effect on...
