Assessment of variability by simple measures of variability for different carotenoids and yield components were carried out with 10 selected genotypes in African marigold. Study revealed very high variability for total carotenoids and its fractions like total xanthophyll, xanthophyll esters, free xanthophyll and lutein, compared to morphological characters/yield components. Also, there was high environmental influence for aU the characters studied. Heritability estimates were high for different carotenoids, but among the morphological characters, f.lower diameter and flower weight showed maximum heritability. The study indicated that there is sufficient variability for carotenoids in marigold, so genetic improvement programmes lor this character in marigold can be initiated. Not Available |
