Okra genetic study uncovers potential for higher yields and disease resistance
The researchers studied different traits in okra plants to see how much they varied genetically. They found that there was a lot of variation among the okra plants they studied. Traits like plant height and number of fruits per plant showed the most genetic variability. This means that these traits are influenced more by genetics than by the environment. Overall, the study showed that there is a wide range of genetic diversity in okra plants, especially in traits like plant height and fruit production.
