Quality of okra seedlings slow release1/16/2024 On the basis of all studied traits, a salt susceptible group and a salt-tolerant group were formed. ![]() Bi-plot analysis illustrated that genotypes 95, 111, 133, 99, and 128, under salt stress conditions, exhibited both high yield per plant and salt-tolerant behavior in other yield-related traits. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed that out of 16 principal components (PCs), five components showed more than one eigenvalue and the first six PCs contributed 67.2% of the variation. Correlation analysis showed a highly significant positive association among the number of leaves at first flower and plant height at first flower.Likewise, pod weight also revealed a highly significant positive relationship for pod weight plant -1, pod length, and K +: Na +. The results showed vast genetic variability among the evaluated okra germplasm traits like days to emergence, pod length, pod diameter, plant height, stem girth, and other yield-related parameters. ![]() The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design and each treatment was replicated three times. The experiment was comprised of 100 okra genotypes and each genotype was grown under control conditions and 6.5 dS m −1 NaCl concentration in a pot having 10 kg capacity. Based on mophological and physio-biochemical responses of plants under stress condition, genotypes were divided into salt tolerant and succeptible groups. The present study was designed to evaluate the genetic resources of okra genotypes for salt tolerance at growth and reproductive phases. Therefore, to mitigate increasing soil salinization and ensure sustainable okra production under rapidly changing climatic conditions, evaluation of new okra germplasm to develop salt tolerant cultivars is direly needed. ![]() However, increasing salinization and changing climatic conditions are posing serious threats to the growth, yield, and quality of okra. Okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus L.) is the most consumed vegetable worldwide with the potential for diverse ecological adaptation.
