Strawberry Breeding

The performance in fruit yield characteristics and fruit appearance of seven Premier S5 inbred selections was studied in their crosses with four tester varieties, Redcoat, Senga Sengana, Sparkle and Jerseybelle. Some of the progenies produced by crossing Premier S5, inbreds with testers were superior in a number of yield characters to those produced when Premier was crossed to the same testers. This suggests that inbreeding, although expensive and time consuming, may be a useful step in one type of approach to breeding for higher yield in the cultivated strawberry.General combining abilities of the inbred selections and of the testers were both significant for all but one character, while specific combining ability of inbreds × testers was significant for six of the eight characters. The estimates of general combining ability effects of the inbreds and the testers were found to be of limited value in predicting the most desirable single crosses. The significance of this is discussed together with a proposed procedure for exploiting inbreeding in strawberry breeding.

<p align="center"><strong><em>ABSTRACT<br /><br /></em></strong><em>Information on combining ability and heterosis are desirable to determine the best parents in chili pepper hybrid variety development. To estimate general and specific combining abilities and  heterobeltiosis of backcross lines selected for CMV tolerance, eight selected lines were crossed to three CMV tolerant lines in a Line x Tester method and the crosses were evaluated in a CMV inoculated condition. The results showed that general and specific combining abilities varied tremendously among crosses and traits. Generally, specific combining ability (sca) variances were higher than general combining ability (gca) variance indicating that interaction of non-aditive predominance the inheritance of traits under study. Amongs lines evaluated, there was no a general combiner line for vegetative growth. However, lines S1B3A-29-13-47 and S1B3B-12-13-2 were the best general combiner for a breeding program to improve total number of fruits and fruit weight per plant, respectively. Crosses of S1B3C-16-22-34 x C1042, S1B3B-49-40-6 x C1043, and S1B3C-34-18-9 x C1042 were consedered the most prospective crosses as indicated by high value of sca, i.e., 130.53, 102.01 and 61.93, with heterobeltiosis estimate of 146.06, 26.05 and 24.31, respectively.</em><em><br /><br />Keywords: capsicum annuum, heterobeltiosis, GCA, SCA <br /></em><em><br /></em><strong><em><br /></em></strong></p><em></em><em></em>

The present investigation was undertaken to investigate the extent of heterosis and combining ability on earliness, vegetative traits and yield of Cucumber. A field experiment was designed in line x tester mating design with 11 parents (including 8 parthenocarpic lines namely Pant parthenocarpic cucumber-2, Pant parthenocarpic cucumber-3, Nun-3139, Nun-3121, Nun-3141, Infifnity, Isatis, Kian, and 3 monoecious testers namely PCUC-8, PCUC-15, Pant Kheera -1 {also known as PCUC-28}) and their 24 F1 hybrids to work out the heterosis and combining ability for earliness and yield characters. All traits pertinent to earliness and yield showed significant values for heterosis and combining ability. Appreciable heterosis in desirable direction was found over better parent and check parent by the cross PCUCP-3 x PCUC-15 for earliness characters viz. days to first female flower (-71.18 & -70.31), days to first harvest (-3.40 & -22.01) whereas Cross Kian x PCUC-15 showed maximum number of fruits per plant (8.36 & 106.35) and fruit yield (86.34 & 210.74 respectively). The crosses PCUCP-3 x PCUC-15 and Nun-3139 x PCUC-8 showed significant specific combining ability for earliness and yield characters. Cross Nun-3139 x PCUC-8 showed significant yield regarding heterosis and SCA. Regarding general combining ability for earliness parent Isatis and for yield characters parent Kian stood in top. Cross Nun-3139 x PCUC-8 showed Maximum specific combining ability for node number to first female flower (-0.98), number of fruits per plant (3.39) and fruit yield (220.57).

A diallel cross of four cigar and one pipe tobacco was analysed for the following characters: (1) height before topping (2) height after topping (3) number of leaves (4) leaf width (5) leaf length (6) leaf angle and (7) days from transplanting to flower. The experiment was performed over three years with four replications. Analysis was done for general combining ability and specific combining ability. General combining ability was in all cases greater than specific combining ability, although there were some specific combining ability effects. The line Pennbel 69 showed very high positive general combining abilities for all characters while the line Petit Havane showed negative general combining abilities for these characters. Commercial production of F1 hybrids would not seem to be of any advantage for any of these characters with these parental lines.

Weight Number

The aim of this study was to develop an inbred lines from octoploid strawberry and to determine their breeding value by estimating the effects of general combining ability (GCA) and mid-parent heterosis. All inbred lines were obtained through selfing using five cultivars. The number of inflorescences, number of flowers per inflorescence, fruit yield, fruit number per plant, average fruit weight, number and weight of leaves as well as number of runners per plant were recorded from 2014 to 2015. The highest breeding value was estimated for maternal forms of ‘Senga Sengana’ 17 for six important traits. The lowest GCA effects were exhibited by inbred lines derived from clone 1387 18. Degree of heterosis for a given trait differed greatly among hybrids. The highest heterosis in terms of a number of inflorescences, fruit yield, number of fruits per plant and leaf weight occurred in the Kent 7-14 × ‘Dukat’ progeny. The results obtained could be used to evaluate the agronomic performance and to make more efficient choices of parents in current strawberry breeding programs.

Randomized Block Design

This experiment was conducted to determine the general and specific combining abilities and heterosis for grain yield and yield associated traits in pea as a source of protein through line x tester analysis. Grain yield and its inheritance were carried out for investigation through a 12 x 3 line x tester analysis. Experimental materials comprising 15 parents and their 36 hybrids. The materials were planted in a randomized block design with three replications. The general combining ability and Specific combining ability effects were significant indicating the presence of both additive and non-additive types of gene actions. Heterosis was determined as the superiority over mid parent heterosis as well as better parent (HBP). Grain yield showed highly significant heterosis ranging from -36.29 to 8.77and relative heterosis ranged from -25.85 to 13.19 respectively.

SummaryThe F1 and F2 generations of a diallel cross of six-row barley involving the parents, Beecher, Athenais, Atlas 46, 3130-4564-3, and 3130-864-4 were studied and heterosis, inbreeding depression, and combining abilities were measured for grain yield, number of tillers per plant, number of kernels per plant, kernel weight, and plant height. Significant heterosis was detected for grain yield in two of the ten crosses, for number of tillers per plant in one cross, for number of kernels per plant in two crosses, for plant height in three crosses, and for kernel weight in none of the crosses. The inbreeding depression of the F2 generation was present in most cases but significantly so in a few. Atlas 46 x 3130-4564-3 exhibited inbreeding depression for grain yield, number of kernels per plant, and plant height.The general combining ability (GCA) mean squares of both generations were significant for all characters studied except number of kernels per plant in the F1 generation. The specific combining ability (SCA) mean squares were significant for only plant height in the F1 generation and all characters studied except number of tillers per plant in the F2 generation.The GCA effects indicated that Beecher and Athenais are good general combiners for grain yield and its components. The latter parent produced good yielding hybrids with slightly shorter plants than the remaining hybrids.The SCA effects revealed that Athenais × 3130-4564-3, Athenais × 3130-864-4, and Beecher × Atlas 46 seem good specific combinations for high grain yield. Also, the former two crosses tend to produce shorter plants.

Heterosis occurred for the eight plant and seed characters studied. It was most frequent for yield of seed and height of plant. Mean squares for general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) were significant (P =.01) for all characters. The estimated components for gca were greater than for sca for days to mature, weight per bushel, and percent oil in the seed; less for height and yield of seed; and essentially the same for days to bloom, diameter of head, and weight per 1000 seeds.The yield of seed and percent oil in the seed, for the highest ranking 100 synthetics that could be composed from the 10 lines, was predicted in F6 assuming 50 and 60% outcrossing between F2 and F6. Virtually all values exceeded the mean performance of four check samples of commercial hybrids. Many exceeded the highest rank check for oil content in the seed. Fourteen of the highest ranking 100 synthetics for yield and 30 for oil content consisted of two or three lines. It was concluded that synthetics can be superior to the present hybrids in heterosis and that desirable synthetics can be made from only a few lines.

Hard Red Spring Wheat

Diallel crosses were made among six varieties of hard red spring wheat that differed considerably in yield and other characteristics. The F1 hybrids were tested at two seeding rates and the F2, hybrids at one. Heterosis was not great in either generation and no cross appeared to be promising. General combining ability was much more important than specific combining ability and parental yields gave reasonable predictions of hybrid yields. Yields of hybrids at the two seeding rates were closely correlated.

The objective of the present work was to provide a methodology to study the inheritance of adaptability and stability through the breakdown of Eberhart and Russell regression coefficients and regression deviations in effects due to the mean and additive genetic effects (gi's and gj's) as well as dominance effects (sij's) of Griffing´s methodology, when the diallel is conducted in several environments. It was concluded that the adaptability and stability parameters are determined in the same manner as are genetic effects. So an F1 cross inherits half the general combining ability (GCA) mean effect from each parent, while the effects due to specific combining ability (SCA) are subjected to the same considerations relative to sij's, i.e., they are dependent on specific combinations.
