ANALYSIS OF GENETIC VARIATIONS IN PLANT TYPE OF RICE : 1. Estimation of Indices showing Genetic Plant Types and their Correlations with Yielding Capacity in a Segregating Population

Abstract

A genetic plant type is defined as a genetically conditioned association of morphophysiological traits. Two axes of genetic variation in plant type were obtained from principal component analysis of genetic correlations. The genetic plant-type variations were found to be correlated with yielding potential.
