Six diverse homozygous parents, BWR-1, BWR-6-1, BWR-29, BWR-39, EC-464107 and EC-464115 were evaluated for gene action, heritability combining ability using 6X6 diallel cross excluding reciprocals. The results showed that analysis of variance revealed significant differences due to crosses parent’s vs crosses. Mean squares GCA SCA all traits days 50% flowering, first picking, plant height, prim...

five genotypes of chickpea as a half diallel crossed with each other, in 2008, 5 parents and 10 progenies were planted as randomized complete block design and some traits including days to podding, basal pod height, number of pods per plant, number of double seed pods per plant, number of single seed pods per plant, number of empty pods per plant, seeds per plant and seed yield per plant were e...

Quality Protein Maize (QPM) has about twice the amount of lysine and tryptophan of normal maize and hence represents an important tool of correcting its deficiency in protein quality. However, the effects of low nitrogen and drought on genetic parameters such as gene action and combining abilities of protein quantity and quality of QPM are not known. To study how these genetic parameters are af...

The productivity in sorghum is low, owing to various biotic and abiotic constraints. Combining insect resistance with desirable agronomic and morphological traits is important to increase sorghum productivity. Therefore, it is important to understand the variability for various agronomic traits, their heritabilities and nature of gene action to develop appropriate strategies for crop improvemen...

investigation of inheritance, mode of gene action and determination of effective breeding strategy for improvement of physiological and morpho-physiological traits specifically in drought stress conditions is very important. to determine the inheritance pattern and genetic parameters of quantitative characters in bread wheat (triticum aestivum), p1, p2, bc1, bc2, f1, f2 generations derived from...

Abstract Length and shape of rice are important physical qualities that determine public acceptance a variety the price. Improvement length requires information on genetic parameters these traits. Diallel analysis is one methods usually used to estimate trait. The purpose this study was using full diallel analysis. plant material cross-population six genotypes, namely, Basmati Pakistan, Delta 9...

drought stress is one of the most important environmental stresses that affect yield of bread wheat strongly. considering that the yield achieved with the interaction of a large number of plant traits and environment, so the morphological and agronomical traits, can serve as selection criteria under environmental conditions. by genetic analysis and estimation of inheritance and mode of gene act...
