Improvement of seed yield and oil content in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) as an oilseed crop is the main objective of its breeding programs. However, little genetic information is available for these traits. The main objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for seed yield and oil content. Six safflower lines each derived from different Iranian local populations and Saff...

five improved along with three local rice varieties were crossed in a line× tester method in 2001. fifteen f1 hybrids and eight parental genotypes were planted in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications at rice research institute of iran, rasht, in 2002. the main objective of the research was to estimate the general and specific combining ability and gene action for 10 agrnomic a...

Abstract This study used eight genetic structures of Linum Usitatissimum L. (Sakha1, Sakha2, Sakha3, Sakha5, Sakha6, Giza, Syrian and Poloni) their half-exchange satire obtained according to the second method proposed by Griffing (1956). Genetic compositions (8 parents + 28 hybrids) were planted in fields Faculty Agriculture/University Kirkuk winter season (2021-2022) full random sectors (RCBD)...

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...

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...
