Clone Ba.10 produced the tallest plants and also, contains the highest content of pungency content, followed by clone Ba.2. Estimated coefficient of variance (CV %) values indicated that most of clones had good homogeneity in all studied characters. The large portion of phenotypic variance (σ2p) was due to the genetic variance (σ2g). High genetic advance in all traits indicated that the observed significant phenotypic differences among the studied genotypes are of genetic nature and there are small environmental effects on the phenotypic variation. Therefore, simple selection can lead to improvement in these characters. The selected Beni suif (Ba.7) genotype had homogeneity, high productivity and high quality, so, it could be considered promising new clone of garlic.","PeriodicalId":282479,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Plant Breeding","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127868885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that cultivars significantly differed for all traits; Sakha 108 rice cultivar produced the maximum values for growth characters :leaf area index,crop growth rate ,relative growth rate and net assimilation rate as well as yield attributes :number of tillers/m², number of panicle/m², panicle length (cm), number of total grains/panicle, 1000 - grain weight (g) and grain yield (t/fed).While the lowest values of these traits were recorded by Giza 178 rice cultivar. Seedling age had a significant effect on all studied charactaristies. Younger seedlings (20 day old) produced significantly the highest mean values. While the minimum values of the previous traits were obtained when plants were transplanted at 25 day old seedlings.Plant spacing significantly affected on all traits. Wider spacing (25 × 20cm) gave maximum number of tillers/m², number of panicles/ m², panicle length (cm), number of grains/panicle, 1000 - grain weight (g) and grain yield (t/fed), while closer spacing (15 × 20 cm) gave the lowest values.

Data of green and dry forage yields and protein content were collected for four seasons in each year during the three years. Results indicated highly significant differences among genotypes for all traits. Dry forage yield and protein content of the studied genotypes had a highly significant reliance on years and seasons. The values of genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV%) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV%) were 6.48 and 6.89% for green forage yield, 5.72 and 7.53% for dry forage yield and 1.43 and 1.73 % for protein percentage, respectively. Broad-sense heritability for green forage yield was 88.38% which was higher than that for dry forage yields and protein content (57.58% and 68.81%), respectively.

Two irrigation levels (full irrigation and 50% of full irrigation) were imposed after completing the formation of the first three true leaves to determine potential drought tolerance of these RILs during 2017 and 2018 early summer seasons at Kaha Vegetable Research Farm (KVRF), Kalubia Governorate. Leaf area, flowering, yield and its components, fruits number/plant and fruit quality were measured for each RIL under both of full irrigation and drought stress conditions. The RILs were classified as drought tolerant if they had very low reduction or increment rates under drought stress compared to full irrigation condition and vice versa. The experimental results showed that both of the RILs 3G (galia type) and 7Ch (charentais type) had a very low reduction or increment rates under drought stress compared to full irrigation condition in all measured traits. So, both of these RILs had a high drought tolerance, but the remaining RILs were classified as intolerant for drought stress.
