Okra genetic study paves way for higher yields and improved quality
Genetic analysis was conducted on different okra plants to study their traits like fruit yield, days to first flower, and number of fruits per plant. The researchers found that there is significant variability among the okra genotypes, with high heritability for most traits. Traits like number of fruits per plant, number of nodes per plant, average fruit weight, and average fruit length showed positive correlation, indicating their potential for selection and improvement in okra plants.
