Correlation and path coefficient analyses of yield and yield components in drought-tolerant bread wheat populations

Correlation and path coefficient analyses of economic traits is important in identifying traits that can be used to simplify selection of complex traits such as grain yield. The aim of this study was to determine the degree of association between yield and yield components of drought-tolerant wheat populations using correlation and path analyses. Twelve selected parents and 66 of their F3 families were evaluated under drought-stressed and...
