seven rice varieties (hassani, deilmani, sepidrod, shahpasand, saleh, neda, and irfaon215) along with their complete diallel progenies were grown in a randomized complete block design of three replications in the growing seasons of 2006 and 2007 and were evaluated for the quantitative traits of: number of days to flowering, flag leaf length, width and area, plant height, panicle length, extrusi...

The relative magnitude of general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) effects in three generations (years), viz. Seedling (SG), first clonal generation (FCG) and second clonal generation (SCG) for tuber yield, tuber number, average tuber weight and tuber dry matter of potato in a line x tester mating design (10 × 4) was studied. There were marked differences in the gca ...

in order to study of combining ability and heterosis in cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.), six hopeful genotypes were crossed in a half-diallel scheme at gonbad research station. fifteen f1 hybrids along with six parents were grown in randomized complete block design with 3 replications, in 2004. combining ability estimates were calculated according to method 2, model 1 of griffing (1956a,b). rela...

The combining ability analysis using Line × Tester model was conducted in chickpea to know the general and specific combining ability of the distingushing parents and their crosses, respectively and to select best material for further breeding programme and generation advanceme- nt. Two genetically diverse testers viz., JAKI-9218 and ICCV-2 as females and 8 males viz., HC-5, ICC-506, PKV Harita...

although inter-variety variability for salt tolerance has been reported in bread wheat plants, little information is available on the genetic control of ion contents and biomass yield under saline conditions. a diallel cross, including reciprocals of two salt tolerant, two moderately tolerant and two sensitive iranian and exotic bread wheat varieties, was analyzed to investigate the inheritance...
