Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences1028-88801812-5735Asian Network for Scientific Information10.3923/pjbs.2003.2020.2023FirouzianAli 122003624Studies were conducted to evaluate six genotypes of wheat and their seven segregating populations (F2) for heritability and genetic advance of yield and its related traits. A considerable amount of variability among genotypes for the traits studied indicated the usefulness of selection for these traits in the genetic material used for future improvement in wheat. Broad-sense heritability for plant height, spikelets per spike, spike density, 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant ranged from 75.17 to 93.61%, 46.24 to 85.09%, 55.51 to 84.65%, 85.70 to 96.37% and 58.30 to 88.24%, respectively. The respective values of genetic advance for these traits ranged from 6.78 to 18.36, 1.39 to 4.67, 0.18 to 0.52, 3.84 to 8.85 and 1.77 to 4.50. Prevalence of fairly high estimates of heritability and genetic advance for grain yield in crosses like 3 WLRG/1-8 x WL-43 and Local White x 3 WLRG/1-12, suggested the potential use of these combinations in future breeding strategies.]]>Anonymous,20032003Chowdhry, M.A., S.
