Combining ability of tomato lines in saladette-type hybrids

Implications of heterosis and combining ability among productive Single cross hybrids in tomato

Ten tomato commercial and productive single cross hybrids extensively grown in Northern Transitional Zone of Karnataka were planted in the field at UAS, Dharwad following RBD design with three replications. A 10 x 10 diallel set was generated by crossing these single cross hybrids in all possible combinations (excluding reciprocals) and 45 double cross hybrids were planted during February, 2007...

Evaluation of genes effect and combining ability in selected maize (Zea mays L.) lines

To evaluate radiation use efficiency and weed control, this experiment was conducted in two locations in Ahwaz, Iran, in a randomized complete block design with 14 treatments and four replications in 2016-2017. Treatments included: Sole sugarcane, Sole soybean, Sole cowpea, Sole soybean+rhizobium, Sole cowpea+rhizobium, Sole sugarcane+mycorrhizal, Intercropping sugarcane with cowpea, Intercropp...

T Evaluation of genes effect and combining ability in selected maize (Zea mays L.) lines

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...

Stability of Combining Ability Effects in Maize Hybrids

General and specific combining ability effects are important indicators in a maize (Zea mays L.) breeding program aiming hybrid development. The objectives of the present study were to estimate the general (GCA) and specific combining abilities (SCA) effects of commercial maize hybrids using a complete diallel scheme and to assess the stabilities of these estimates. Fifty-five entries were asse...
