Agri. Sci. Res. J. eISSN: 2959-653x; pISSN: 2959-6521) must be original reports of research not simultaneously submitted to or previously published in any other scientific or technical journal and must make a significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge or toward a better understanding of existing scientific concepts. The study reported should be applicable to a sizable geographic area or an area of ecological or economic significance and of potential interest to a significant number of scientists. Each calendar year will have one volume. Biological and Agricultural Sciences Research Journal publishes articles as soon as the final copy-edited version is approved by the authors rather than waiting for a collection of articles for a specific issue. Also, each article is published in its respective category. BASRJ consider the following categories of articles; Original research Article, Short Research Article, Short communications, Review Article, Minireview Article, Systematic Reviews, Policy Papers, Commentaries / Opinion Article, Data Notes, Study Protocols, and pre-protocols, Method Article, Data Article, Case reports / Case studies, Clinical Practice Article, Grey literature government reports, Abstracts of scientific meetings, Letter to the Editor, Scholarly Book Review, Technical Note, Perspective, Correspondence, and News and Views. As a result, the page numbers in the ‘Table of Contents’ displayed for each issue will reflect this rather than numerical order. The journal was started aims to provide a platform of publications under the banner of <em><a href="https://bbasr.com/index.php/home/journals"><strong>BBASR Publishers</strong></a> </em>following eminent standards to the researchers, scholars, scientists, and professionals of Biological and Agricultural Sciences. The inclusion of multiple academic disciplines helps in pooling the knowledge from two or more fields of study to handle better-suited problems by finding solutions established on new understandings. The authors can submit manuscripts online through OJS System. Authors can submit their manuscripts to the editorial office along with any query through email at, <a href="http://bcsrj.com/ojs/index.php/bcsrj/management/settings/context/mailto:editor@bcsrj.com">editor@basrj.com</a></p> <p> Biological and Agricultural Sciences Research Journal publishes articles reporting original research articles are grouped by subject matter into all type of biological research but not confined with the following categories: Botany, Plant Sciences, Plant Molecular Biology, Plant Biotechnology, Plant Genetics, Plant Computational Biology, Plant Cell Biology, Plant Biochemistry, Plant Ecology, Agricultural Sciences, Agricultural Economics, Marine Sciences, Plant-Microbe interaction, Plant environmental interactions, Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Animal Biotechnology.</p>https://basrj.com/index.php/home/article/view/28UNVEILING GENETIC THREADS: PHENOTYPIC EXPLORATION OF CHICKPEA (CICER ARIETINUM L.) GERMPLASMS FOR HERITABILITY AND TRAIT ASSOCIATIONS2024-01-03T05:41:45+00:00MHM KALYARnuamankalyar@gmail.comMNN KALYARnuamankalyar@gmail.comMA ULLAHasadpbg3@gmail.comKD SHAHnuamankalyar@gmail.com<p><em>The second most important self-pollinating legume crop in the world is the chickpea. Chickpea is an inexpensive source of protein that grows well in various climates<strong>. </strong>The current study aimed to evaluate the genetic advance and heritability of different characters at the seedling stage by analyzing their phenotypic attributes. During the 2022–2023 growing season, a randomized complete block design experiment was set up in the University of the Punjab's field area. The experiment included five different germplasms. At the seedling stage, data from seven morphological parameters were collected. ANOVA and correlation were performed using Statistix software. Seedling length, root length, and root-shoot ratio have shown low genotypic coefficients of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV), indicating a high environmental effect on these traits. Root length and leaf width had shown a strong correlation with seedling length. Path coefficient analysis directly affected root length and leaf width towards seedling length. Low genetic advance and high heritability were observed in root length, seedling length and root-shoot ratio, meaning selection should be delayed for one or more generations for such traits. Leaf width and leaf area have shown high heritability and genetic advance, suggesting that selecting such characters may lead to superior variety development based on phenotype.</em></p>2024-01-03T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 MHM KALYAR, MNN KALYAR, MA ULLAH, KD SHAH
