The genetic parameters were studied to generate information on genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance among 22 advanced breeding lines including two checks at the experimental Farm of College of post graduate studies, CAU (Imphal), Umiam, Meghalaya during Kharif 2017. Analysis of variance indicated the existence of significant differences among the genotypes for most of the characters. High Phenotypic Coefficient of variation (PCV) and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation (GCV) values were recorded for number of grain per panicle and spikelet per plant which suggests the possibility of improving this trait through selection. | Assessment of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for yield in advanced breeding line (Oryza sativa L.) of low land rice in Meghalaya
