An incomplete diallel cross study comprising of seven bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars was carried out with parents and F1 progeny to determine heterosis, combining ability, gene action, and correlations for plant height and its components. The results showed that heterosis and heterobeltiosis occurred in plant height, spike length, peduncle length, length of the second internode fr...

Five cotton cultivars were crossed in a complete diallel to study the inheritance of different polygenic traits. Genotypic differences were found to be significant (P<0.01) for all the characters. Adequacy tests disclosed that data of all the parameters were fully adequate for genetic analysis except bolls per plant, staple length, fibre strength, and fibre fineness, which was partially or not ...

Eight quantitative traits of an F2 MAGIC population in rice were subjected to analyze variability, correlation and path analysis. The results third fourth degree statistics (skewness kurtosis) showed that Individual dried straw weight, 1000-seed grain yield, Number effective tillers are associated with complementary gene interaction, requiring intense selection, while Plant height, Panicle leng...

High temperature is a major environmental stress that devastatingly affects wheat production. Thenceforth, developing heat-tolerant and high-yielding genotypes has become more critical to sustaining production particularly under abrupt climate change fast-growing global population. The present study aimed evaluate parental their cross combinations normal heat conditions, exploring diversity bas...

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...

The present investigation was carried out with 78 diverse horse gram [Macrotyloma uniflorum (L.) Verdc] genotypes along 4 checks during the late Kharif season. Data recorded on days to 50 percent flowering, maturity, plant height, number of branches per plant, pod length, seeds pod, pods weight (g), seed yield and 100-seed (g). Analysis variance revealed significant differences among all for ch...
