Fifteen advanced lines of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) were evaluated to identify the
relationship of grain yield and its related attributes during 2010-11 at Barani Agricultural
Research Institute, Chakwal, Pakistan. Grain yield (kg/ha) had significant and positive
association with plant height, number of primary branches plant-1, number of capsule plant-
1, number of grains capsule-1 and 1000 grain weight both at genotypic and phenotypic
levels. Therefore focusing on these traits would improve breeding efficiency of linseed in the …

The present study was taken up to work out correlation coefficient among the various yield
and yield related traits and to estimate direct and indirect effect of different traits on grain
yield through path analysis in linseed. Forty diverse linseed genotypes were assessed for
different traits in a field experiment. Correlation as well as path coefficient analysis were
calculated among the traits. Association analysis revealed that seed yield/plant showed the
highest and significant positive association with biological yield/plant, number of …
