Abstrakt: Buckwheat is one of the underutilized crop considered as nutritional and nutraceutical rich food crop having adaptability to cope under various environmental stresses. In the present investigation genetic variability for seven nutritional and nutraceutical traits among 132 buckwheat genotypes was accessed. Buckwheat seed flour was used for analysis of various nutri-nutraceuticals (Phenol, Flavonoids, Antioxidants, Iron, Zinc, Ascorbic acid, and Folate). Analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for all the studied traits. Significant variation among genotypes based on nutri-nutraceutical traits was observed. Genotypic Coefficients of Variation (GCV) and Phenotypic Coefficient of Variation (PCV) were high for Iron and Ascorbic acid. Heritability values for these traits ranged between 0.753 and 1.000, whereas the genetic advance ranged between 0.074% and 180.5%. This study provided insights about genetic variability among buckwheat genotypes for nutri-nutraceutical traits, that may have implications on breeding of nutrient rich varieties of buckwheat. The identified lines with high content of nutrients and nutraceuticals will act as important genetic resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
