| Abstract | ||
| The study aimed to evaluate 30 exotic and Egyptian lentil genotypes for earliness, yield, yield components, seed protein content, hydration coefficient before and after cooking, total soluble solids and seed cookability characters. Correlation and factor analysis procedures were used to determine the contributing characters in yield variation. The field trials were carried out at Gin Research Station in 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 seasons. Genotypes FLIP 88-42L, FLIP 96-521, FLIP 97-30L, FLIP 97-33L and Sinai 1. were the earliest in flowering and maturity. FLIP 88-34! had the highest number of pods and seeds/plant and hence produced the highest seed yield/fed recording 4.10 ardab, surpassing Giza 9 by 35 %. This genotype also showed the highest rate of seed yield formation d't of crop cycle. Average seed protein content was 22.1 %. Eight genotypes had protein content above average ranged from 23 5 to 25.5 %. Amongest, the new released variety Giza 51 had 25 % seed protein content. Most genotypes gave high percentages of cookability above 85 %. Significant and positive associations were detected between seed weight/plant and each of plant height, number of branches, pods and seeds / Want and weight of 100 seeds. Factor analysis grouped seven yield contributing characters into two main factors accounting for 74.13 % of the total variability in the dependence structure. Factor 1 was responsible for 42.66 °k of the total variation and contained plant height, number of branches, pods and seeds/plant. Factor II included number of days to SO % flowering and maturity and weight of 100 seeds and contributed 31.47 % of the total variability. | ||
