Estimation of heritability and genetic advance in 24 genotypes of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Paper Summary

Researchers studied 24 types of wheat to see how certain traits are inherited. They found that some traits like awn length, plant height, and grain yield are influenced by genetics more than the environment. Traits like biological yield and days to flowering are mostly determined by genes. Plant height, biological yield, and number of spikes per plant can be improved through breeding.
