| dc.description.abstract | Genetic identity is important in seed production of such sexually propagated, cross-fertilized, heterozygous crops as coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.), which me exclusively propagated by seeds. Due to their uniform nature, twins are used in genetic studies, breeding and to determine identity. The objective was to identify uniform phenotypic traits withii twins TOP use in detemining genetic identity. Phenotypic correlation was determined among twin pairs for 11 important foliar traits in coconut. Of the traits under study, leaf sheath fiber thickness, petiole length and number of leaflets had high correlation and are either highly heritable or have adaptive significance. These traits have practical applications in seed production and breeding. | en_US |
