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...

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...

Abstract: In many agricultural crops, the number of parents used in cross breeding make it difficult to obtain all possible hybrids diallels. Therefore, using maize as a model plant and based on traits with high low heritabilities, aim present study was quantify correlation estimates general combining ability (GCA) specific (SCA) between complete diallel circulant diallel, without inclusion par...

the diallel cross design is frequently utilized to obtain information on genetic effects, estimates of general and specific combining ability (gca and sca) and to identify promising heterotic combinations as well as heterotic patterns. in the present study, heterotic crosses were identified for specific alkaloids in opium poppy (papaver somniferum l.) following yan’s gge biplot model by use of ...

Sorghum production is affected by a wide array of biotic constraints, of which sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata is the most important pest, which severely damages the sorghum crop during the seedling stage. Host plant resistance is one of the major components to control sorghum shoot fly, A. soccata. To understand the nature of gene action for inheritance of shoot fly resistance, we evalua...

Abstract Crosses were made between three varieties and seven accessions of white jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) in all possible combinations to establish 10 × 10 full diallel set. Variances for general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) were significant or highly significant for all the characters indicating additive and non-additive gene actions played predominant rol...

to evaluate general and specific combining ability for resistance to bolting and cercospora leaf spot, 36 hybrids derived from crosses between 9 sugar beet lines along with four checks were planted in safiabad agricultural research center (dezful) in 2008-2009. the experimental design was a triple lattice design with three replications. analysis of variance showed significant differences among ...

A study was conducted to determine the types of gene action different yield-related traits in tomato and combining ability four advanced lines. The heterotic response hybrids also assessed. Analysis variance (ANOVA) revealed significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) among all traits. General (GCA) specific (SCA) for chosen were computed using Griffing’s approach diallel. Combining additive non-additiv...
