Genetic parameter studies in chilli

The study of path analysis indicated that direct selection of plant height, plant spread, days to first flowering, total number of fruits per plant, fruit length, weight of 100 dry fruits, fruit yield per plant, number of seeds per fruit and capsaicin content could be used as selection criteria for improvement.

Fifteen chilli genotypes were screened for temperature resilience during summer season in of 2017-18. The genotypes were subjected to two temperature levels, i.e. optimum temperature (inside the growth chamber) and summer temperature (in open field condition). The characters like plant height, fruit length, fruit weight, pedicel length, number of seeds per fruit, rate of photosynthesis, chlorophyll, pollen fertility, pollen viability and fruit set per cent were decreased and leaf proline, leaf phenol and ascorbic acid were increased under high temperature stress.
