Variability and Heritability in M3 Mutants of Vicia faba L

Twenty six mutant lines of Vicia faba L. were evaluated to assess range, PCV, GCV, ECV, Heritability, genetic advance and net genetic gain. The analysis revealed that there were wide range for all characters under study. Phenotypic coefficient of variability was found to be higher than genotypic and environmental coefficient of Variability for all the characters. Highest heritability was found for days to flower with highest genetic advance and net genetic gain. It is followed by Plant height. Where as lowest heritability was found for test weight for 100 seeds and lowest genetic advance and genetic gain was found for seeds/pod.
