Abstract
This study aimed to develop new populations of Coriandrum sativum L. with an increased number of basal leaves. The research focused on crossing two distinct coriander varieties: ‘UNAPAL Laurena’, which typically produces 4–5 basal leaves plant–1, and ‘Slow bolt’, renowned for its prolific production of 25–30 basal leaves plant–1. The goal of this crossing strategy was to combine the desirable traits of both varieties—leveraging the adaptability of ‘UNAPAL Laurena’ and the high foliage yield of ‘Slow bolt’—to develop new populations with superior agronomic characteristics. The initial cross yielded an F1 population consisting of 35 families. These F1 plants were isolated and self-pollinated to produce the F2 population. Within the F2 population, individual plants were selected to form 25 families, which were then characterized using 13 quantitative morphological descriptors. Analysis of variance and Duncan’s multiple range test were applied to evaluate intra- and inter-family variability. The results revealed significant differences, enabling the selection of superior families. These selected families were subsequently isolated in the field to establish the F3 generation. Morphological characterization of the F3 population showed a genetic gain, with an average increase of 10.4 basal leaves plant–1. This outcome highlights the potential for developing new coriander populations with enhanced leaf yield, thereby improving overall production efficiency.
