Diallel analysis was used to estimate the combining ability, gene action, gene number, heritabilties and other genetic parameters of a set of wheat genotypes. For this purpose, nine parents and their 36 crosses were evaluated for 9 traits in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 1996. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among all genotypes for all ...

Maize is one of the most important grain and forage plants that has a unique role in the food and feed, especially poultry feed. To study the genetic effects, genes act and identify the best hybrid combination for morphological traits, experiment was carried out in diallel cross layout using 19 parents at Gorgan Agricultural Research Station, Iran in 2013. The progenies were planted in three re...

Six rainfed durum wheat genotypes (Chehel daneh, Gerdish, Zardak, Syrian-1, Waha and Knd1149//68/ward) and their complete diallel progenies of F1 generation were evaluted in a randomized complete block design with two replications. Analysis of variance indicated genetic differences among genotypes. General combining ability (GCA) was significant for all of the studied traits except hundred grai...

Physiological studies indicated that flag leaf has high contribution in wheat grain yield. In addition, number, distribution, and morphology of stomatal characteristics are important traits in the drought resistance and adaptation of wheat cultivars to fluctuating CO2 levels. A complete set of diallel crosses among seven durum wheat lines were used to study of genetic parameters of stomatal and...

  To determine the inheritance of bread making quality of bread wheat by diallel crossing, the F1 seeds of a 5 × 5 half diallel along with their parents were grown in water-stress and non-stress conditions, in a randomized complete blocks design, at Islamic Azad University, Ardabil, Iran, in 2009, and 8 characters related to their bread quality along with 1000-seed weight and hectolitre mass we...
