Abstract

These studies were conducted at Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology, Faisalabad during 2004. M, generation of three AVROC mungbean accession was evaluated to exploit maximum yield components and formulate selection criteria in mutated population. Genetic parameters (genotypic and phenotypic variance, heritability, genetic advance), genotypic and phenotypic correlation and path co- efficient were computed. The results revealed high heritability coupled with moderate to high genetic advance for primary branches (33.80, 68.95), pods per plant (79.40, 60.59), 100 seed weight (50.10, 68.52) and seed yield (73.80, 87.60). It means that additive genes mainly control such characters. Clusters per plant (0.99), pads per plant (089) and pod length (0.96) had positive and highly significant correlation with seed yield. Plant height {69.69), primary branches (20.97) and clusters per plant (62.18) showed strong positive direct effect on seed yield.
