Heterosis and Combining Ability Studies in Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) Over the Environments
In the field of plant breeding, the most important breakthrough has been considered as ‘heterosis’. Exploitation of heterosis on commercial scale and the systematic varietal improvement through hybridization are the main tools to increase the sorghum production. The success in the development of superior hybrids and/or varieties depends on the choice of parents for hybridization and amount and ...
متن کاملCorrelation studies for shootfly resistance traits in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
A field experiment was conducted to study the relation of different plant characters and shoot fly resistance in sorghum. Leaf glossiness showed high positive correlation with shootfly oviposition and dead hearts. The oviposition percentage on 14 and 21 days after seedling emergence exhibited significant positive correlation with dead hearts. Leaf trichome density on adaxial and abaxial leaf su...
متن کاملAssessing sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench] germplasm for new traits: food, fuels & unique uses
Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench] is the fifth most important cereal crop in the world; however, it has a wide range of other applications that are being explored with worldwide interest in renewable resources. The USA sorghum germplasm collection contains over 41,000 accessions that represent landraces and cultivars from over 115 countries. Traditionally, this collection has been evaluated ...
متن کاملMolecular mapping of the brace root traits in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench)
The presence and morphology of plant brace roots are important root architecture traits. Brace roots contribute significantly to effective anchorage and water and nutrient uptake during late growth and development, and more importantly, have a substantial influence on grain yield under soil flooding or water limited conditions. However, little is known about the genetic mechanisms that underlie...
متن کاملEvaluation of yield stability of forage sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] genotypes using AMMI analysis
Sorghum is an important forage crop used as silage, fresh forage and dry forage. To evaluate the yield stability of 16 genotypes; cultivars, lines and hybrids, of forage sorghum, experiments were conducted using randomized complete block design with three replications during 2016-17 at Karaj, Isfahan, Gorgan, and Mashhad field stations, Iran. The results of combined analysis of variance showed ...
