Background Sweet cherry is consumed widely across the world and provides substantial
economic benefits in regions where it is grown. While cherry breeding has been conducted …

The current research focused on the examination of 20 distinct sweet cherry cultivars after
analyzing 34 qualitative and 39 quantitative morpho-physiological attributes encompassing …

Understanding the character of genetic variability and diversity is crucial to enhancing
selection efficiency in plant breeding programs. This study aimed to estimate the magnitude …

Studies were carried out in National Active Germplasm Site (NAGS) at ICAR-NRC on Litchi,
Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India during 2018 and 2019 to find out the association between different …

ABSTRACT Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is one of the most important subtropical fruit crops
of the world. Improvement in this crop is constrained by its narrow genetic base, which is a …

The presence of a narrow genetic base is the major bottleneck in improvements in litchi to
get desired objectives. Studies on the nature and extent of genetic diversity are directly …

Assessment of genetic variability in the available germplasm is the prerequisite for
development of improved genotypes through planned breeding programmes. In view of this …

In the present study, 131 litchi clones were assessed for variability, heritability, genetic
advance and association studies. The phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation was …

Twenty five morphological traits of tree trunk, branch and leaf were employed to discriminate
30 Indian Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) genotypes as well as to assess their morphological …

Eighteen litchi genotypes were evaluated in this study for genetic advancement, heritability,
variability, and association studies. The genotype 'CHL-4'exhibited maximum fruit weight …
