Generation mean analysis was carried out to estimate the nature andmagnitude of gene effects for sugar yield and its component traits in sweet sorghum[Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench. Six basic generations, namely P1, P2, F1, F2,BC1P1, BC1P2 of four crosses involving seven diverse parents were evaluated inrainy 2009. The mean performance of the F1 in all the crosses indicated dominantgene effect fo...

Abstract In order to study the inheritance of grain yield and its components in bread wheat, two cultivars, Karchyya(drought and salinity tolerant) and Gaspard (sensitive to drought and salinity stress) were crossed.Parents together with F1, F2, F3, BC1and BC2 generations were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2008-2009 growing season.Grain weight per...

investigation of inheritance, mode of gene action and determination of effective breeding strategy for improvement of physiological and morpho-physiological traits specifically in drought stress conditions is very important. to determine the inheritance pattern and genetic parameters of quantitative characters in bread wheat (triticum aestivum), p1, p2, bc1, bc2, f1, f2 generations derived from...

due to cereal are affected by drought stress in their lifetime. in order to study gene action of bread wheat under drought stress condition, a generation mean analysis was performed using f1, f2 and f3 generations derived from roushan and kavir. generation mean analysis was performed based on joint scaling test. genetic parameters including additive effect (d), dominance effect (h), additive×ad...
