| dc.description.abstract | Abstract :
Twelve genotypes of lemon were evaluated to know the morphological variation and fruit quality. Phenotypic variations were observed among the twelve genotypes. The leaf lamina marginsof CR-Ban 002 and CR-Bag 003 were wavy whereas others were slightly wavy. The leaves of CR-Ban 002 were short (5.02 cm x 2.4 cm) but the leaves of BARI Lebu-lwerebroad (11.8 cm x 4.6 cm). Among the twelve genotypes CR-Bag 003,
CR-Nor 004, BARI Lebu-3 and BAU Lebu-1 produced fruits round the year. Although,
CR-Ban 006 produced the largest (460 g) fruit coupled with early flowering but, the highest yielding genotype was CR-Nor 004 (34.6 kg/plant). Out of 12 genotypes only CR-Ban 001 and CR-Nor 004 were seedless. CR-Ban contained more juice, total soluble solid (TSS) and ascorbic acid compared to other genotypes. This study would be helpful to understand the phenotypic variability and fruit quality among the genotypes of lemon grown in different agro-climatic regions of Bangladesh. | en_US |
