Association of Yield Traits in Bread Wheat Ihsan Khaliq

In order to explore the breeding potential and variability for the evaluation of new better performing, high yielding varieties with good adaptability, heritability and genetic advance were estimated for the following seven cross of F2 population viz., DN 52 × Fareed 2006, DN52 × Sehar 2006, DN 53 × Chakwal 86, DN 53 × Fareed 2006, DN 57 × Chakwal 86, DN 53 × Sehar 2006, DN 57 × Sehar 2006. Heritability and genetic advance were was determine for the following characters plant height, flag leaf area, number of tillers per plant, spike length, number of spikelet?s per spike, spike density, number of grains per spike, 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant.
