Heterosis for Grain Yield and its Components in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The heterosis study for grain yield and its contributing characters was carried out in among 50 hybrids of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) through Line x Tester mating design. analysis variance showed highly significant mean squares differences the all characters. due to hybrids, lines, testers line tester were also studied indicating presence considerable variability material existence overall characters. Based on standard heterosis, five ICMA JMSA 20073 × RCB-IC 925 S3 19-3-1, 92777 H77/833-2, 843-22 ICMA 04999 H77/833-2 identified superior over best check HHB 67 improved seed per plant along with other desirable Hence, these crosses considered be most plant.

Correlation Studies for Grain Yield Components and Nutritional Quality Traits in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) Germplasm
Before selecting genotypes for nutritional quality characters (protein, oil and micronutrients content) and anti-nutritional factor (phytic acid), it is important to know how much selection is likely to affect yield. Using a diverse range of genotypes, relationships between quality traits with yield and yield attributes in pearl millet were investigated. The number of productive tillers, panicl...

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is an important cereal in semi-arid tropics in Africa and India. Conventionally, millet has good amounts of grain minerals compared to other cereals. Estimation of genetic parameters would be useful in developing appropriate breeding and selection strategies. The present study was conducted to evaluate the local pearl millet accessions to assess the...

متن کاملTowards Defining Heterotic Gene Pools in Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]
Pearl millet is a climate resilient crop and one of the most widely grown millets worldwide. Heterotic hybrid development is one of the principal breeding objectives in pearl millet. In a maiden attempt to identify heterotic groups for grain yield, a total of 343 hybrid parental [maintainer (B-) and restorer (R-)] lines were genotyped with 88 polymorphic SSR markers. The SSRs generated a total ...
