This document outlines the presentation for a thesis committee on a study of okra landraces. It includes an introduction providing an overview and statement of the problem being studied. The objectives, hypotheses and significance of the study are then stated. The materials and methods section describes the study site, experimental design, data collection and analysis. Results are then presented and discussed, including correlations between traits. The conclusions identify the most diverse accessions and associations between traits. Recommendations include utilizing certain accessions for breeding and further characterization, genetic mapping of traits, sequencing the okra genome and additional analysis of secondary metabolites and nutritional constituents.
