Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the promising germplasm line for correlation and path analysis for yield and yield contributing characters in wheat in randomized black design with three replication during Rabi 2014 – 15 at the Field Experimentation Centre of the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, SHIATS, Allahabad India, The data was recorded from each line for sixteen quantitative characters to obtain information among 30 genotypes of wheat. Result revealed that significant positive correlation of seed yield per plant existed with days to maturity, grain filling period, and number of spikelets per spike, harvest index and negative association with spike length with awn, thereby, allowing selection criteria of the plant materials for yield improvement. Yield contributing characters like number of productive tillers per plant, grain filling period, number of spikelet per spike and weight of 1000 kernel had highest positive direct effects on grain yield. The traits days to 50% heading, days to 50% flowering, flag leaf length, number of productive tillers per plant, grain filling period, number of grain per spike, number of spikelet per spike, weight of 1000 kernel, harvest index and Grain weight per spike are the major determinants on grain yield.
