Selection of stable genotype for qualitative productivity and rhoifolin content in the Ayurvedic herbal medicinal plant Uraria picta (Jacq.) Desv. ex DC
摘要
Uraria picta is a medicinally important leguminous plant widely recognized in Ayurveda for its therapeutic properties, particularly in tissue regeneration, wound healing, and anti-inflammatory applications. In order to identify better genotypes to facilitate breeding and realize its planned cultivation, a systematic study was conducted to investigate the changes in adaptation responsiveness of its 24 diverse genotypes of over 4 years. The regression coefficient (bi) and s2di values were non-significant for numerous genotypes. One of the 24 genotypes studied, UP-50, was shown to be an appropriate and stable genotype for all variables except rhoifolin (%) in roots, where genotype UP-47 was the highest yielder over all 4 years and conditions. The present findings show that the parameters influencing stability performance differ by genotype. To breed stable genotypes, it is important to consider all three stability indices (
