Pipe Tobacco

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.

Pipe Tobacco

A diallel cross of four cigar cultivars and one pipe tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cultivar was analyzed for the following parameters: grade index, yield, crop revenue or index, percentage of nicotine, percentage of total alkaloids, and susceptability to pole rot. The experiment was performed over 3 years. Analysis was done for general combining ability and specific combining ability. General combining ability was greater than specific combining ability for all variables although significant specific combining ability effects were also present for all parameters with the exception of nicotine and total alkaloids. Reciprocal effects were completely absent. The line Pennbel 69 showed a positive general combining ability effect for yield, crop index, and infestation by pole rot and a high negative general combining ability effect for grade index and percentage of nicotine and total alkaloids. Petit Havane showed a complete reverse of general combining ability effects for these parameters while the other three cultivars were intermediate. High positive specific combining ability effects for grade index, yield, and crop index and high negative specific combining ability effects for the percentage of pole rot were shown by crosses of Pennbel 69.

A diallel cross of four cigar and one pipe tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) was analyzed for the following characters in samples of cured tobacco: (1) percentage of light filler; (2) percentage of heavy filler; (3) percentage of top filler; (4) percentage of bottom filler; (5) percentage of total filler; (6) percentage of marketable trash and (7) total percentage of marketable tobacco. 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 greater than specific combining ability for all parameters, although specific combining ability effects were also present for all parameters with the exception of total marketable tobacco. Reciprocal effects were completely absent. The line Pennbel 69 showed a negative general combining ability effect for all grades of filler, total filler and total marketable tobacco with a positive effect for percentage of marketable trash. High positive specific combining ability effects for percentage total filler and high negative specific combining ability effects for percentage marketable trash were shown by crosses of Pennbel 69 with the other four cultivars.

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.

General and specific combining abilities were analyzed for total, marketable, early, and late yield, and for flower stalk number in a diallel cross of eight strawberry cultivars. Data were recorded from individual seedlings restricted to two runner plants, thereby eliminating variability resulting from differences in plant density. General and specific combining abilities for the five characters were highly significant. Estimates of general combining ability effects taken alone were, in general, of little value in predicting the order of desirability of individual crosses.

Seedlings of a diallel cross of seven strawberry inbreds omitting reciprocals were fruited in matted rows. Per acre fruit yields were comparable with leading cultivars, but berry appearance and quality of the hybrids were poor. Differences in resistance to powdery mildew reflected the values of the cultivars from which the inbreds were derived.All four characters studied showed significant general combining ability values, and three of the four showed significant specific combining ability values. These results are consistent with previous findings of considerable amounts of non-additive genetic variation in the strawberry.

<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 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.

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.

Stolon Development

A diallel cross of five accessions was used to estimate general and specific combining ability for nine traits in Glycine javanica L. Variation due to both general and specific combining ability was highly significant but the general combining ability component of variance was larger than the specific combining ability component for flowering time, maturity date, and seed weight. For yield, stolon length, stolon number, and percentage of stolons rooted the specific combining ability component was the larger. The cultivar Tinaroo had a high general combining ability and a low specific combining ability for most traits associated with forage yield and should be a valuable parent in future breeding programmes. Negative genetic correlations between yield and some traits associated with stolon development indicate that it may not be possible to produce a variety with all desirable characters from a breeding programme based on the five accessions used.
