Evaluation of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) genotypes under coastal ecosystem of Tamil Nadu

Genetic variability existing among genotypes is the prime and basic factor for the improvement of any character in a successful breeding programme of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.). Though the attempts made so far to exploit the available variability have culminated in the release of a few improv...
