AbstractSix silver birch (Betula platyphylla) parents of diverse provenances were crossed according to Griffing 4 diallel design, and the plant height and diameter at ground level (DGL) of their F1 progeny were observed. The analysis of general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) showed that two phenotypes were simultaneously controlled by additive and non-additive effects. The GCA between two phenotypes in a parent, and GCA of the same phenotype among different parents displayed significant differences: Q2 from Qingyuan was the best of the parents, followed by M2 from Maoer-mountain. On the other hand, the SCA of two phenotypes in a cross and the SCA of a phenotype among different crosses also varied considerably: the cross between E8 from Finland and Q1 from Qingyuan showed the highest SCA of plant height and DGL. The heritability of plant height and diameter at ground level was strong (over 60%), suggesting that these phenotypes can be used for early selection.

The purpose of this study was to estimate combining ability of 58 sorghum lines previously selected for Aluminum (Al) tolerance. One hundred sixty-five hybrids were evaluated at three levels of Al saturation (0%, 20% and 50%) at the same season. General Combining Ability (GCA) effects were significant for female lines for all three traits. GCA effects for male lines were significant only for plant height. Specific Combining Ability (SCA) effects were significant only for flowering time. The ratio GCA to SCA was greater than the unity, indicating the prevalence of additive effects for the control of Al tolerance. F7, F14, F17, F20, F21, F24, F29, F31, F41, F42, F48, F51, F54 and F55 lines contributed to increase yield, while F29, F48 and F51 also contributed to reduce flowering time. M2 was the best male line since it contributed to increase yield and plant height, and to reduce flowering time.

The eight tobacco cultivars Delcrest, Hicks Broadleaf, Yellow Gold and Jamaica Wrapper of the flue-cured type and Burley 1, Burley 21, Virginia B29 and Kentucky 12 of the burley type and their crosses and reciprocals were grown in an 8 × 8 diallel-cross experiment. Diallel analyses were completed according to procedures described by Hayman, Griffing and Robinson.The mean squares for general combining ability and for Hayman's a made up a considerably higher proportion of the total variability than the other subdivisions. The variances for special combining ability were in all instances smaller than those for general combining ability, although there were differences in size and in levels of significance between Griffing's and Robinson's methods. The statistic due to additive effects of genes (Hayman's D) was significant for days to flower, height, and number of leaves, and the statistic due to dominance effects significant for days to flower and height. The greatest effect in decreasing the number of days to flower was exhibited by the cultivar Delcrest, and the greatest effect in increasing the number of days to flower was by Yellow Gold and Kentucky 12. Kentucky 12 showed the greatest effect in increasing height and number of leaves.

Physio-chemical properties of hybrid chilies (Capsicum annuum L.), parental lines and commercial varieties were evaluated in three experiments and showed significant differences among them. Heterosis, and heterobeltiosis were studied in hybrids while, combining abilities were investigated in maintainers and restorers. Positive statistical differences in the general combining ability of the maintainer lines for vitamin C, capsaicin and Hue were observed and general combining ability indicated that, CA1286 and CA1303, were good maintainers for the improvement of capsaicin and vitamin C. The other maintainers;-, CA1441 and CA1442, are good for the improvement of L* and Chroma. The maintainer, CA1441, was better than CA1442 for capsaicin content,- while the maintainer, CA1442, was better than CA1441 for vitamin C. Positivity and statistically significant differences among the restorers were  observed  for vitamin C, capsaicin, Hue and Chroma  and  the lines;-, CA 1447, CA 1448, CA 1449, CA 1450 and CA 1451, were useful for the improvement of these  physio-chemical properties of chilies.

Abscisic acid normally inhibits growth and male sexual differentiation (antheridia formation) in gametophytes of the fern Ceratopteris. Abscisic acid resistant mutants show increased growth and sexual differentiation in comparison with the wild type when cultured in the presence of abscisic acid. Two different mutants that confer resistance to the effects of abscisic acid have been fully characterized. One shows moderate resistance and the other strong resistance. The mutations involve separate but linked loci. Recombination between the loci yields double mutant (cis) recombinants that exhibit additive effects and show exceptional levels of abscisic acid resistance.

Ear Height

Combining ability effects were estimated for grain yield and some other important agronomic traits of maize in a 7×7 diallel analysis excluding reciprocals. The variances for general combining ability (GCA) were found significant for yield, days to pollen shedding, days to silking and ear height while it was found non-significant for plant height and number of kernels/ear. Non-significant general combining ability (GCA) variance for plant height and number of kernels/ear indicates that these two traits were predominantly controlled by non- additive type of gene action. Specific combining ability (SCA) was significant for all the characters except yield and days to silking. Non-significant specific combining ability (SCA) variance for yield and days to silking suggests that these two traits were predominantly controlled by additive type of gene action. Both GCA and SCA variances were found significant only in days to pollen shedding and ear height indicated the presence of additive as well as non additive gene effects for controlling the traits. However, relative magnitude of these variances indicated that additive gene effects were more prominent for all the characters studied except days to silking. Parent BIL95 was the best general combiner for both high yield and number of kernels/ear and parent BML4 for dwarf plant type. Two crosses (BML4× BML36 and BIL114× BIL31) exhibited significant and positive SCA effects for grain yield involved low × average and average × average general combining parents. The range of heterosis expressed by different crosses for grain yield and days to silking was from -65.83 to 21.26 percent and -17.85 to 8.22 percent, respectively.. The better performing three crosses (BIL114×BIL31, BIL138×BIL95 and BIL31×BIL95) can be utilized for developing high yielding hybrid varieties as well as for exploiting hybrid vigour.Bangladesh J.

Crosses were made between three varieties and seven accessions of white jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) in all possible combinations to establish 10 × 10 full diallel set. Variances for general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) were significant or highly significant for all the characters indicating additive and non-additive gene actions played predominant role for expression of these characters. The magnitudes of GCA variance were higher than the corresponding SCA variance confirmed the predominance of additive genetic variations for these traits. The variety CVL-1 and Acc. 1831 were good general combiners for plant height, technical height, base diameter, number of nodes, bark weight, fibre weight and stick weight. Crosses, var. CVL-1 × Acc. 1831, Accs. 3695 × 4087, Accs. 1831 × 1833, Accs.1831 × var.CC-45, Acc. 2146 × var. A-38 and Acc. 2146 × var.CC-45 revealed significant positive SCA effect for fibre weight. Significant reciprocal SCA effect was observed in crosses, Accs.1832 × 3695, Accs.1833 × 1831 and Acc. 4087 × var.CVL-1. Crosses, var. CVL-1 × Acc.1831, Accs. 3695 × 4087, Acc.1831 × var.CC-45, Acc.2146 × var.CC-45 and a reciprocal cross, Accs.1833 × 1831 were found to be good specific combiners for bark weight, fibre weight and stick weight.

Pratt timothy (Phleum pratense L.) is an 11-clone synthetic cultivar developed through progeny testing for general combining ability at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Crops and Livestock Research Centre, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Pratt timothy was selected for winter hardiness, plant vigour, plant height, and intermediate maturity (similar to the check cultivar Climax but later than Champ). In Atlantic Canada, Pratt timothy produced more forage than Champ during 3 production years. This cultivar was superior in persistence and re-growth potential with greater production of second-cut herbage.

Five breeds of sheep (Minnesota 100, 102, 103 and 105, and Shropshire), and their two breed crosses, including reciprocals, were raised at the University of Minnesota's Agricultural Experiment Stations, Rosemount and Waseca. Included in this study were 421 purebred and 1037 crossbred ewes and their 367 purebred and 849 Suffolk-sired crossbred lambs born over a 5-yr period. Estimates of heterosis, pure breed, general, specific, maternal and reciprocal effects were obtained for fertility, prolificacy, livability, overall reproduction, and total and average lamb weights per ewe at birth and weaning (100 days). Significant differences were observed for prolificacy, livability, and total and average lamb weights per ewe at birth and weaning. General combining ability was important (P < 0.01) for prolificacy and average lamb weight per ewe at birth and weaning. Specific combining ability was significant for prolificacy, total lamb weight per ewe at birth, and average lamb weight per ewe at weaning. Maternal and reciprocal effects were not important (P > 0.05). Significant interactions of location with specific combining ability and maternal ability were observed for average lamb weight per ewe at weaning. Breeds ranked differently on purebred performance and general combining ability. Heterosis, pure breeds, and general and specific combining ability had important effects. Therefore, both additive and non-additive effects should be considered in developing breeding strategies to maximize productivity for commercial lamb production.

Combining ability and interrelationships among four characters were studied in six gooseberry (Ribes grossularia) progenies produced by crossing each of two thornless to three large-fruited cultivars. Measurements were recorded for four consecutive years for fruit yield and 100-berry weight, and for one year for thorniness and plant height. General and specific combining abilities were significant and their interactions with years were not significant for fruit yield and berry weight, and general combining ability was significant for thorniness. Genotypic correlations agreed closely with the phenotypic correlations. Significant positive correlations were obtained between fruit yield with berry weight and plant height. The nonsignificant correlations between thorniness with fruit yield, berry weight and plant height suggest no genetic barrier to combining thornlessness with these traits.
