11 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Assessing the genetic diversity of finger millet (Eleusine coracana) germplasm for agronomic traits | The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, published by epubs.icar.org.in. Source-evidenced topics include genetic diversity, finger millet, eleusine coracana, agronomic traits, heritability (hbs), genetic advance over mean (gam), principal component analysis (pca), hierarchical clustering. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 7 factual, 2 definition, 1 relationship, 1 summary. 4 of the 11 pairs (36.4%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 7 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset contains 11 extractive question-and-answer pairs derived from a study on the genetic diversity of finger millet (Eleusine coracana) germplasm for agronomic traits, published in The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences. The research utilized an augmented block design to evaluate 150 accessions and 4 checks, focusing on traits such as grain yield, heritability, and genetic advance over mean. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering were applied to identify promising accessions and analyze variability. The dataset includes factual, definition, relationship, and summary questions, with answers sourced directly from the publication.

| What did the research reveal about the diversity of selected finger millet accessions? | highly diverse for grain yield and other studied agronomic traits | Genetic advance over mean (GAM) was the maximum for grain yield per plant (99.51), followed by harvest index (65.59) and ear headwidth (59.22), productive tillers (55.54), 1000-grains weight (36.74), flag leaf blade width (25.19) and plant height (24.92) while the other traits like day to 50% flowering, days to maturity, fingers number on the main ear, peduncle length and flag leaf blade width showed less than 20% of GAM. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed that the first 5 PCs with eigenvalues greater than unity, hold 74.07% total variability. Hierarchical clustering was also carried and top 10 promising accessions were identified. the current research revealed that the selected finger millet accessions were highly diverse for grain yield and other studied agronomic traits, which favour selection and could be utilized in different breeding programs. | 727 | summary | 0.970 | https://epubs.icar.org.in/index.php/IJAgS/article/view/132683 | the current research revealed that the selected finger millet accessions were highly diverse for grain yield and other studied agronomic traits, which favour selection and could be utilized in different breeding programs. | ||||
| What is the scientific name of finger millet? | Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn. | A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) season of 2019 and 2020 at research farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, Haryana to assess the genetic diversity of finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] germplasm for agronomic traits. Experiment consisted of 150 accessions and 4 checks in augmented block design. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) divulged that test genotypes showed a highly significant difference (P<0.01) for agronomic traits. A maximum (96.67) heritability (hBS) was observed for days to 50% flowering, followed by 1000-grains weight (94.93). The least hBS (68.37) was observed for flag leaf blade width. | 204 | definition | 0.940 | https://epubs.icar.org.in/index.php/IJAgS/article/view/132683 | A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) season of 2019 and 2020 at research farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, Haryana to assess the genetic diversity of finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.)
