Abstract
  To evaluate the gene effect, heritability and correlations of ajowan (Carum capticum L.) morphological traits ten parents were chosen from a genetically broad-based population and polycrossed to produce half-sib families. The evaluated traits were number of days to flowering, plant height, number of ...  Read More

Yousef Hakimi; Karim Arab Salmani

Volume 11, Issue 2 , April 2024, , Pages 229-248

https://doi.org/10.22059/ijhst.2023.361350.657

Abstract
  Genetic variability in a crop population is essential for successful plant breeding. Fifteen cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) genotypes were evaluated in the greenhouse under the warm condition to estimate the magnitude of their genetic variability and heritability as also morphological and pomological ...  Read More

Volume 9, Issue 1 , January 2022, , Pages 131-142

https://doi.org/10.22059/ijhst.2020.308631.382

Abstract
  The purpose of this study was to estimate heritability, general and specific combining ability and the relationship between traits. Investigated traits were fruit number per plant, total yield per plant, average fruit weight, flesh thickness, flesh firmness, seed cavity size, total soluble solid, fruit ...  Read More
