this experiment was conducted to determine gene action for different traits of chickpea including days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, 100-seeds weight, number of pods per plant and seed yield. five genotypes including arman, hashem, ilc588, iccv2 and ilc3279 were selected and crossed with each other. four generations of each cross along with parents were evaluated in a random...

in order to study of combining ability and heterosis in cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.), six hopeful genotypes were crossed in a half-diallel scheme at gonbad research station. fifteen f1 hybrids along with six parents were grown in randomized complete block design with 3 replications, in 2004. combining ability estimates were calculated according to method 2, model 1 of griffing (1956a,b). rela...

production of high rapeseed yield is important in rapeseed breeding programs. with regards to the importance of estimation of general combining ability (gca), specific combining ability (sca), additive and dominance genetic variances, gene action, heterosis and heritability, an experiment was carried out in a 9×9 diallel design. nine parents with 36 crosses were studied in a randomized complete...

In order to analyze general and specific combining abilities and gene effects in sunflower for some agronomic traits, five CMS lines and four restorer lines (tester) were crossed in a line × tester scheme. Hybrids were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the Agriculture Research Station, University of Tabriz, in 2009 and 2010 growing seasons. Plant height,...

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...
