Abstract

By correlation analysis, the most relevant parameters for growth and development were identified among the following: shooting potential, chlorophyll content, antioxidant enzymes like catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), polyphenol oxidase (PPX), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity, total soluble carbohydrate and protein content. In the present investigation, the biochemical parameters are found to be more correlated with each other in the presence of TRIA, in combination with BA in both the genotypes. Correlation studies will further help in determining the most effective procedures for selection of superior genotypes.
