In this article we have reviewed the works on path coefficient analysis
of seed (grain) yield and yield contributing characters in linseed under normal
sown, late sown and soil stress conditions. The dependent variable was seed
yield, and independent variables were yield contributing characters such as
days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, technical height, tiller
number, number of primary and secondary branches, number of capsules, number of
seeds per capsule or plant, 100 or 1000- seed weight, etc. Under normal sown
condition, mostly number of capsules is the trait that has very high or high
positive direct effect on seed yield across different sets of plant genetic
resources and environments conferring it to be the most important selection
criterion for improvement of seed yield. Under late sown condition, basing on
different plant materials number of capsules is the most promising selection
criterion for improvement of seed yield. Path analysis work under soil stress
condition is inadequate. - See more at:
