abstract

combining ability effects were estimated for different agronomic characters in line × tester crossing program comprising 21 hybrids produced by crossing 7 lines and 3 testers. parents and hybrids differed significantly for general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) effects, respectively. the variance due to gca and sca showed that gene action was predominantly additive for number of branches. this characters may further be improved through simple selection method in early generation, whereas predominance of non-additive gene action was discovered for plant height, pod per plant and seed yield which are desirable for heterosis breeding and may be exploited in hybrid seed production. both additive and non-additive genetic constitution were important for seed per pod and thousand kernel weight. among the 7 female lines, rgs003 revealed maximum gca effects for seed yield, thousand kernel weight, seed per pod and number of branches. among the testers, option500 was desirable as it manifested higher estimates of gca effects for seed yield and thousand kernel weight. three cross-combiners magent × opera, elect × option500 and shiralee × opera were found to be the best specific crosses for seed yield

gene action and combining ability of important agronomic traits in rapeseed (brassica napus l.)

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...

Combining Ability Analysis of Yield Component Parameters in Winter Rapeseed Genotypes (Brassica napus L.)

Eight winter rapeseed genotypes GA096, Geronimo, Okapi, Orient, Sunday, Zarfam, SW0756, and Modena were used as parents of a complete diallel mating design. A set of 56 diallel F1 hybrids (with reciprocals) including their parents were evaluated in a 8×8 simple lattice design with two replications during 2007/08. Several agronomic traits like Plant height, number of lateral branches per pod, nu...

gene effect and combining ability estimation of yield and yield components of rice (oryza sativa l.) using diallel mating method

to estimate combining ability and the model of gene action for some quantitative characters, 5 different rice genotypes were used for producing a half diallel hybrids. to consider 7 quantitative traits, hybrids and their corresponding parents were evaluated based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the rice research station of amol, iran in 2007. mean squares regard...

Synthetic Brassica napus L.: Development and Studies on Morphological Characters, Yield Attributes, and Yield

Brassica napus was synthesized by hybridization between its diploid progenitor species B. rapa and B. oleracea followed by chromosome doubling. Cross with B. rapa as a female parent was only successful. Among three colchicine treatments (0.10, 0.15, and 0.20%), 0.15% gave the highest success (86%) of chromosome doubling in the hybrids (AC; 2n = 19). Synthetic B. napus (AACC, 2n = 38) was identi...
