Factor Analysis of Yield Traits in Genotypes of Durum Wheat (Triticum Durum). İndian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 72(5), 301-303.0019-5022https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/18153In a study carried out during 1998-99 crop season, factor analysis was applied to various yield traits of the populations obtained from 4 x 4 full diallel crosses of 4 durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) varieties, viz 'Kizitan 91', 'C 1252', 'Cakmak 79' and 'Selcuklu 97'. Correlation analysis indicated that grain yield was positively associated with plant height, spike length, spike weight, kernels/spike, kernel weight/spike, spikelets/spike, peduncle length and days to heading except spike density. Factor analysis reduced 10 traits into 2 factors. Factor 1 consisting of plant height, spike density, days to heading, grain yield, peduncle lenght, kernels/spike, and kernel weight/spike explained 70% of the total variation. However, Factor 2 comprising spikelets/spike, spike length, and spike weigth, explained 13% of the total variation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCorrelationDurum wheatFactor analysisTriticum durumYield traitsArticle725301303Q4
