ABSTRACT
Pigeonpea is one of the most important pulse crops grown in many states of India and plays an important role in sustainable food and nutritional security. Increased pigeonpea production is possible with high yielding varieties suitable for different agro-climatic conditions, that can be achieved by assessing the variability of the existing germplasm. Based on this, a study was carried out during kharif 2018 at Department of Pulses, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India to evaluate the genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance of eleven characters in fifteen genotypes including checks (Gulyal Red, CO 6, CO 8, Maruti, BWR 133, BSMR 846, ICPL 10967, ICPL 11023, IC 525403, IC 525411, IC 525413, IC 525424, IC 525456, IC 525521, IC 525527). Analysis of variance revealed that significant difference among genotypes for all the eleven characters studied the magnitude of PCV and GCV was moderate to high for racemes per plant, cluster per plant, pods per cluster, total number of pods and single plant weight. High heritability was recorded for primary branches, pod length, racemes per plant, cluster per plant, number of pods per plant, 100 seed weight, plant height and single plant weight. High heritability combined with high genetic advance was recorded for number of pods per plant, clusters per plant and plant height indicating that these characters are controlled by additive gene effect and phenotypic selection of these characters would be effective for further breeding purpose.
Key Words : Genetic advance, genetic variability, heritability, pigeonpea, quantitative traits
INTRODUCTION
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Mill) is the second important pulse crop after chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in India. Pigeonpea is a drought tolerant and hardy crop (Maiti and Singh, 2016). It has a wide range of maturity that helps in its adaption in a wide range of environments and cropping systems (Khadtare et al., 2017; Hari et al., 2018; Kaur and Saini, 2018). This crop occupies an essential place in our daily diet as very high-quality source of protein and it is mainly cultivated for its dry seeds and green pods (Vijayalakshmi et al., 2013). I ndia ran ks fi rs t in pig e o npe a cultivation area (5.58 mha) and production (4.29 mt) in the world (FAOSTAT, 2020). The per capita availability of protein in the country is 28 g/day, while WHO recommendation is 80 g/day, and there exists a most serious problem of the malnutrition among the people who are mostly relying upon vegetarian diet without consuming animal protein (Prasad et
al., 2013; Saxena et al., 2020). In the last five years, productivity of pigeonpea in India has shown an increasing trend (11.42% ) from 693 (2009 – 2013) to 774 kg/ha (2014 – 2018). However, it is lowered by ~10% compared to world productivity (761 kg/ha in 2009 – 2013 and 850 kg/ha in 2014 – 2018) (FAOSTAT, 2020).
The annual demand for pulses is increasing by 3% . Since the demand for pi ge on pe a is e ve r i nc re as in g an d are a available for expansion is limited, research now needs to focus on the genetic enhancement of yield. Considering the importance of pigeonpea in fulfilling nutritional requirements of ever- increasing population of our country with reducing availability of land resources and low productivity level of pigeonpea varieties, there is an urgent need to develop high yielding varieties of pigeonpea adapted to different types of agro-climatic conditions especially the marginal land and stress environments.

depends on the magnitude and the nature of genetic variability present in the population. The knowledge of character associations between yield and its components might provide useful information on nature, extent and direction of selection. The seed yield of pigeonpea is a complex and multiplicative character, which is highly influenced by environmental variations. Information on nature and magnitude of variability present in a population due to genetic and non-genetic cause s is an important pre re quisite for sy ste matic bre e di ng pro gramme . I t is the refore, ne cessary to estimate relative amounts of genetic and non-genetic variability e xhibite d by diffe re nt characte rs using suitable parameters like genetic coefficient of variability (GCV), broad sense heritability estimates (H² (Broad Sense)) and genetic advance (GA) and genetic advance as percent mean (GAM). The information on their genetic variability and heritability are of considerable importance in selection of elite genotype as well as exploitation of heterosis breeding programme (Anuradha and Patro, 2019). Hence, an attempt was made in the present investigation to ascertain the variability, heritability and genetic advance of some quantitative characters in a set of pigeonpea genotypes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The present investigation was carried during kharif season of 2018 at the Department of Pulses, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India to assess the variability among 15 genotypes of pigeonpea.
The experimental location was situated at an altitude of 427 m above MSL, latitude of 11o N and a longitude of 77o E. The average annual rainfall received at this location was around 700 mm. Fifteen pigeonpea genotypes we re g ro wn in 2 row s of 4m l e n gth in randomized complete block design (RBD) with three replications. Row to row and plant to plant spacing were maintained at 90 × 30 cm, respectively. Observations were recorded for eleven traits including days to 50% flowering, plant height (cm), number of primary branches per plant, racemes per plant, pod length (cm), pod bearing length (cm), number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, 100-seed weight (g) and single
plant yield (g). The data were collected on five randomly selected competitive plants from each replication. The analysis of variance (Table 1) for yield and yield contributing characters was carried out as suggested by Panse and Sukhatme (1985). The coefficient of variation was calculated as per Burton (1952) . Th e g e n otypic and ph e n otypic coefficients of variation were calculated as per the formula suggested by Burton (1952). He ritability in broad sense and ge netic advance were calculated as per Johnson et al. (1955). The genetic advance (GA) as percent of mean was calculated using the following equation :
Genetic advance GA (% ) : ––––––––––––––––––––––– x 100
Grand mean
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The acco mplis hme n t of any c rop improvement depends upon the extent of genetic variability in the base population and it is essential to subject for the selection and improve me nt of parti cular trait. In the present study the analysis of variation shown highly significant differe nces among the genotypes for all the characters studied viz., days to 50% flowering, plant height (cm), numbe r of primary branche s per plant, racemes per plant, pod length (cm), pod bearing length (cm), number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, 100 seed weight (g) and single plant yield (g), indicating the existence of c o n s ide rabl e ge n e ti c v ari ati o n in th e experimental material. This variability can be utilized effectively to develop high yielding cultivars through hybridization followed by se le ction. Perusal of the components of v ari anc e re v e al e d that th e ph e no ty pi c coefficient of variation (PCV% ) were higher than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV% ) for all the characters studied indicating the role of environmental variance in the total v ari an c e .

Quantitative traits in pigeonpea genotypes 47
Magn itude of PCV and G CV w as moderate to high for racemes per plant (31.2, 36.5), cluster per plant (49.2,58.0), pods per cluster (14.7,30.2), total number of pods (50.5,59.2) an d s ing le pl ant we igh t ( g) (28.3,28.8). These results were in conformity with that of Satish Kumar et al. (2006), Firoz- mahamad et al. (2006) and Badru (2011). Although GCV is indicative of the presence of high degree of genetic variation, the amount of heritable portion can only be determined with the help of heritability estimates and genetic gain. In the present study, heritability in broad sense was high in most of the characters viz., primary branches (65.8% ), pod length (68.4% ), racemes per plant (73.2% ), cluster per plant (71.9% ), number of pods per plant (72.8% ), 100 seed weight (98.3% ), plant height (80.8% ) and single plant weight (96.7% ). The high genetic advance was recorded in characters viz., racemes per plant (15.8% ), plant height (28.1), cluster per plant (180.4), total number of pods per plant (416.1). High heritability combine d with high ge ne tic advance was recorded for number of pods per plant, cluster per plant and plant height.
According to Johnson et al. (1955), heritability estimates along with the genetic gain are usually more useful. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was more for number of pods per plant, cluster per plant and plant height indicating the role of additive gene in expressing these trai ts , su gg e s ti ng th e be tte r s co pe for improvement of these traits through direct selection. Jagan Mohan Rao and Thirumala Rao (2015) also reported the similar results in pigeonpea.
CONCLUSION
Magnitude of phenotypic coefficients of variation in selected pigeonpea genotypes was higher than genotypic coefficients of variation, indicating that environmental factors are influencing the studied characters. High heritability was recorded for primary branches, pod length, racemes per plant, cluster per plant, number of pods per plant, 100 seed weight and single plant yield. High heritability combined with high genetic advance was recorded for number of pods per plant, cluster per plant and plant height. Hence, selections based on these
traits could improve productivity in pigeonpea directly.

Abstract
Background
Null Hypothesis Significance Testing (NHST) is the most familiar statistical procedure for
making inferences about population effects. Important problems associated with this
method have been addressed and various alternatives that overcome these problems have
been developed. Despite its many well-documented drawbacks, NHST remains the prevail-
ing method for drawing conclusions from data. Reasons for this have been insufficiently
investigated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to explore the perceived barriers and facili-
tators related to the use of NHST and alternative statistical procedures among relevant
stakeholders in the scientific system.
Methods
Individual semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted with junior and
senior researchers, lecturers in statistics, editors of scientific journals and program leaders
of funding agencies. During the focus groups, important themes that emerged from the inter-
views were discussed. Data analysis was performed using the constant comparison
method, allowing emerging (sub)themes to be fully explored. A theory substantiating the
prevailing use of NHST was developed based on the main themes and subthemes we
identified.
Results
Twenty-nine interviews and six focus groups were conducted. Several interrelated facilita-
tors and barriers associated with the use of NHST and alternative statistical procedures
were identified. These factors were subsumed under three main themes: the scientific cli-
mate, scientific duty, and reactivity. As a result of the factors, most participants feel depen-
dent in their actions upon others, have become reactive, and await action and initiatives

Data Availability Statement: A full study protocol,
including a detailed data analysis plan, was
preregistered (https://osf.io/4qg38/). At the start of
this study, preregistration forms for qualitative
studies were not developed yet. Therefore,
preregistration for this study is based on an
outdated form. Presently, there is a preregistration
form available for qualitative studies. Information
about data collection, data management, data
sharing and data storage is described in a Data
Management Plan. Sensitive data is stored in
Darkstor, an offline archive for storing sensitive
from others. This may explain why NHST is still the standard and ubiquitously used by
almost everyone involved.
Conclusion
Our findings demonstrate how perceived barriers to shift away from NHST set a high thresh-
old for actual behavioral change and create a circle of interdependency between stakehold-
ers. By taking small steps it should be possible to decrease the scientific community’s
strong dependence on NHST and p-values.
Introduction
Empirical studies often start from the idea that there might be an association between a specific
factor and a certain outcome within a population. This idea is referred to as the alternative
hypothesis (H1). Its complement, the null hypothesis (H0), typically assumes no association or
effect (although it is possible to test other effect sizes than no effect with the null hypothesis).
At the stage of data-analysis, the probability of obtaining the observed, or a more extreme,
association is calculated under the assumption of no effect in the population (H0) and a num-
ber of inferential assumptions [1]. The probability of obtaining the observed, or more extreme,
data is known as ‘the p-value’. The p-value demonstrates the compatibility between the
observed data and the expected data under the null hypothesis, where 0 is complete incompati-
bility and 1 is perfect compatibility [2]. When the p-value is smaller than a prespecified value
(labelled as alpha, usually set at 5% (0.05)), results are generally declared to be statistically sig-
nificant. At this point, researchers commonly reject the null hypothesis and accept the alterna-
tive hypothesis [2]. Assessing statistical significance by means of contrasting the data with the
null hypothesis is called Null Hypothesis Significance Testing (NHST). NHST is the best
known and most widely used statistical procedure for making inferences about population
effects. The procedure has become the prevailing paradigm in empirical science [3], and reach-
ing and being able to report statistically significant results has become the ultimate goal for
many researchers.
Despite its widespread use, NHST and the p-value have been criticized since its inception.
Numerous publications have addressed problems associated with NHST and p-values. Argu-
ably the most important drawback is the fact that NHST is a form of indirect or inverse infer-
ence: researchers usually want to know if the null or alternative hypothesis can be accepted
and use NHST to conclude either way. But with NHST, the probability of a finding, or more
extreme findings, given the null hypothesis is calculated [4]. Ergo, NHST doesn’t tell us what we want to know. In fact, p-values were never meant to serve as a basis to draw conclusions,
but as a continuous measure of incompatibility between empirical findings and a statistical
model [2]. Moreover, the procedure promotes a dichot
