Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a drought tolerant oilseed crop with the highest oleic acid content, which isyet to be explored for its hybrid vigour. Therefore, present study was carried at Sri Karan Narendra AgricultureUniversity, Jobner, Jaipur, Rajasthan during 2019–20 and 2020–21 combining ability 11 seed yieldand attributing traits in 10 parents their 45 crosses sesame. The effects of gene...

Knowledge of traits inheritance is a prerequisite for any plant breeding program. Wheat cultivars like Pirsabak-85, Khyber-87, Saleem-2000, Pirsabak-04, Pirsabak-05 and Shahkar-13 were crossed in 6 × 6 half diallel fashion during 201011 at the Cereal Crops Research Institute (CCRI), Pirsabak Nowshera, Pakistan. The F1 and F2 half diallel hybrids in comparison with parental genotypes were studie...

Investigation was carried out to ascertain the genetic architecture for heat tolerance and yield components from diallel crosses in maize (Zea mays L.). The combining ability both normal stress conditions revealed highly significant mean squares due general (GCA) specific (SCA) direct reciprocal all characters except anthesis-silking interval condition of crosses. Estimate variance 13 higher SC...

The inheritance of stress responsiveness (line effects and combining abilities) was phenotypically studied in progeny from diallel crosses of randombred (RB) quail and quail selected for exaggerated (high stress, HS) or reduced (low stress, LS) plasma corticosterone (CS) response to brief immobilization. The three genotypes were crossed in a 3 x 3 factorial arrangement of treatments that allowe...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) breeding seeking to combine high productivity and cold tolerance for the temperate Latin America region is an important challenge. We estimated some useful parameters which can be used to investigate the genetic control of agronomic characters in crosses combining cold tolerance and productivity. A partial diallel design was used in crosses between six tropical indica ric...

A study was conducted on maize incorporating a total of 28 single crosses, eight parental lines and two standard checks to determine the combining ability gene action. Among eleven traits that were studied, analysis variance revealed mean squares due genotypes, parents hybrids highly significant for all traits, except 100 grain weight in case parents, indicating presence an adequate amount gene...

Knowledge of quantitative genetic parameters is crucial in allocating resources for different steps of multistage selection programs. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the magnitude of variance of general combining ability (GCA) and specifi c combining ability (SCA) effects and their interaction with environments in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). We used four data sets (...
