4.1 Heritability Study Objectives<br />
4.0 HERITABILITY STUDY<br />
The first objective of the heritability study was to estimate heritability of<br />
differences among genotypes for green seed coat colour. The other objectives were<br />
estimating the range of colour phenotypes to determine if selection will be effective<br />
using existing germplasm.<br />
4.2 Materials and Methods<br />
4.2.1 Experimental Setup<br />
The heritability study started in 2005 and was repeated in 2006. The plant<br />
material that was used was a cross between two green lentil lines. Both lines were<br />
specifically chosen to be parents. Agronomically they were similar in most<br />
characters like maturity, and seed weight and would fit into the medium size green<br />
lentil market class. Line 1294M-23 was the parent that had the more desirable<br />
green seed coat colour. 1048-8R was the parent that had a less desirable green seed<br />
