A study was conducted on genetics of some important agronomic traits (number of productive tillers per hill, plant height (cm), panicle length (cm), number of spikelets per panicle and 100-grain weight) in rice during 2012-13. Two lines were crossed with five testers in line × tester fashion to produce 10 F1 hybrids. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotyp...

determining general and specific combining ability of lines is necessary to use them as parents of hybrid varieties. in addition, estimates of the heritability of characters helps in selecting suitable breeding methods and predicting genetic gains of the traits. to determine general and specific combining abilities and gene effects of agronomic characters, five cms lines and four restorer lines...

There is a problem of applying of combining rules to evidence which were got from different information sources in framework of Dempster-Shafer theory. In this work the conflict measure and index of decreasing of ignorance in frame of Dempster-Shafer theory are introduced for characterization of quality of applied combining rules. Those functionals are analyzed on the bodies of evidences of spe...

Knowledge of quantitative genetic parameters is crucial in allocating resources for different steps of multistage selection programs. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the magnitude of variance of general combining ability (GCA) and specifi c combining ability (SCA) effects and their interaction with environments in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). We used four data sets (...
