| Abstract: | The present investigation was carried out to estimate the interrelationships and repeatabilities of various variability parameters,
i.e., genotypic (σ2g) and phenotypic (σ2p) variances, genotypic (GCV) and phenotypic (PCV) coefficients of variation, broad-sense heritability (hb2), genetic advance (GA), and genetic gain (GG), using data derived from a number of plant characters seed yield (SY), days
to heading (DH) and maturity (DM), plant height (PH), and thousand kernel weight (TKW)] of 17 spring safflower genotypes grown
in 27 environments in Iran during 2003–2005. The analysis of variance for the five characters revealed significant differences
among the genotypes in most of the environments, indicating a very high variability within the genotype. High genotypic and
phenotypic variances in the quantitative traits, particularly for SY, were markers of increased success. A close correlation
between GCV and PCV was observed for all the traits, indicating that all of the characters were less influenced by the environment
and that the variability which exists in these characters is under genetic influence; however, the relatively higher values
of PCV indicate the predominant role of environment. High expected genetic advances were observed for SY, but this trait showed
large fluctuations in different environments (97.4%). High and low mean values of heritability were observed for DH (74.3%)
and SY (59.7%), respectively, whereas high and low mean values of genetic gain were found for SY (60.3%) and DM (4.2%), respectively.
High heritability coupled with low GA as a percentage of the mean was observed for DH and MD, whereas moderate heritability
with moderate GA as a percentage of the mean was exhibited for SY. Analysis of correlation among the parameters showed that
they were strongly and constantly correlated with each other, but none of them were consistently well correlated with the
heritability parameter (hb2). Based on estimates of the genetic variability parameters within each trial, the ranking of genotypes in the low-performance
subset for all traits differed from that in the high-performance subset. This result indicates poor repeatability for the
genetic variability parameters. The estimates of the parameters in the multi-year trials were almost constant and repeatable,
whereas the responses over years showed poor repeatability. |
