Genetic Analysis of Early Growth Characteristics in a Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) Population Raised under Greenhouse Conditions for use in Breeding Program

Pistachio is one of the important horticultural crops, comprising 6.4% of the agricultural exports of Iran. In this study, the genetics of some early growth traits of 40 pistachio genotypes was evaluated under a greenhouse setting. The 40 genotypes were created by crossing eight male trees with five...

The offspring of females within males were significantly different.

So M7 was the best male for mating and selection for good early seedling growth in pistachio because genotypes with a taller stem had better vegetative growth which can be used for producing rootstocks. For all studied traits, the amount of additive variance was greater than dominance variance, and shoot dry weight had the highest narrow-sense heritability (0.518) and the most expected relative genetic gain with 10% of selection intensity, indicating that the selection can be used to improve these early growth traits in pistachio.Hossein DashtiAsghar RahimiSeyed Ahmad HosseiniShirin DavoodianMozhgan Gholizadeh VazvaniIslamic Azad Universityarticleadditive variancedominance variancegenetic gaingenotypesnorth carolinavegetative growthAgriculture (General)S1-972ENJournal of Nuts, Vol 12, Iss 4, Pp 279-291 (2021)
