inheritance of yield and its contributing characters in rapeseed (brassica napus l.) was studied in a 8×8 diallel cross through griffing and jinks-hayman analyses. both general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) were highly significant for seed yield, seed weight and branches per plant, while only gca for seeds per pod and oil content and only sca for pods per plant an...

five improved along with three local rice varieties were crossed in a line× tester method in 2001. fifteen f1 hybrids and eight parental genotypes were planted in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications at rice research institute of iran, rasht, in 2002. the main objective of the research was to estimate the general and specific combining ability and gene action for 10 agrnomic a...

A partial diallel design was used among 20 maize inbred lines to form 110 F1 hybrids to generate information on the values of these lines for developing insect resistant maize varieties during the short rains season of 2006. The hybrids were evaluated for resistance to the C. partellus and B. fusca, and for agronomic performance over two seasons during long and short rains of 2007 at a mid-alti...

brassica juncea l. is an important oilseed crop which occupies premier position in indian agriculture. developing high yielding genotypes has been a major breeding objective in indian mustard. present study was conducted at directorate of rapeseed-mustard research, india, during 2010-2013 to determine general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) of parental lines and bet...

the present experiment was carried out to assess the general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) of six important commercial cultivars of gossypium hirsutum l. of venezuela, viz., ‘deltapine 16’, ‘tamcot-sp-21’, ‘cabuyare’, ‘stoneville’, ‘ospino’ and ‘acala 90-1’ and their 15 f1 hybrids, respectively. the data were analyzed using griffing’s model i method ii. significan...

the combining ability of quantitative and qualititative traits has been studied quite frequently in rapeseed (brassica napus l.), but rarely at different nitrogen levels. twenty-one genotypes, including 6 parents and their 15 f2 diallel progenies, were evaluated at two nitrogen rates, n0 and n150. a combined analysis of variance revealed significant mean squares of general (gca) and specific (s...

the best method of fish breeding is the isolation of pure lines having high-producing hybrids. the decline in heterosis (dih) resulted from inbreeding, maternal effects, general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) on reproductive traits (e.g., egg production, number of hatched egg, and hatchability of pure lines and crosses) of tiger, green, and albino barbie hybrids we...

the crown wart disease caused by urophelyctis leproides on sugar beet is very important in the growing areas of north khuzestan influencing quantity and quality of the crop. the objectives of our research were to estimate general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) of sugar beet lines as well as the gene action governing resistance to this disease. a randomized complete...

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...
