Correlation between early and late growth characters in an improved true potato seed population
1992
Golmirzaie, A. | Serquen, F.
A field experiment was conducted at two locations to determine the correlation between seedling and mature plant characters in a large potato (Solanum tuberosum) population developed for production from true potato seed. There was no significant correlation between seedling and reproductive characters, including earliness, at the two locations. Number of internodes and yield per plant were significantly correlated at Huancayo, and at San Ramon, root length and hypocotyl length had a significant correlation with the number of tubers per plant and yield per plant. Although significant, the latter correlations are not high enough to be used to predict the final behavior of genotypes by their seedling traits. Thus, it may be assumed that a certain independence between seedling and mature plant growth characters exists.
