Stalk Lodging

We evaluated 66 inter se crosses among 12 inbred lines of maize in 2 years at two locations. The inheritance of ash content of the stalk was determined by means of diallel analysis. Significant differences in ash content among the 66 F1 hybrids were obtained. General combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) mean squares were also statistically significant. The additive genetic variation was much larger than the nonadditive variation. Interactions of GCA and SCA with locations and with years × locations were significant. The broad sense heritability estimate for ash content of stalk was.62. The primary objective, to determine whether ash content of the stalk is positively associated with susceptibility to stalk lodging, was only partially supported. The genotypic correlation between ash content of stalk lodging was relatively low (+.280) and of little predictive value.

The objective of this work was to estimate the general combining ability of partially inbred lines under high and low nitrogen (N) conditions and to select promising lines to obtain high yields for both conditions. Fifty-five partially inbred S1 progenies were evaluated using the top-cross method, where the lines were crossed with two testers. The 110 top-cross hybrids were evaluated for grain yield during the off-season of 2012 at two sites in the Brazilian Midwest. Partial diallel analysis was performed with the adjusted means of each of the individual analyses of the top crosses. The combining ability of partially inbred lines and testers as well as their interaction with N levels, was estimated for each site. The coefficient of concordance among 15 partially inbred lines selected by the highest general combining ability estimates for each N level was 0.60. The S1 lines 39, 11, 41, 55, 38, 37, 6, 8, and 14 were selected at both N levels. This indicates that these lines can be used to identify ideal hybrids for growing in the off-season in the Brazilian Midwest.

A diallel cross of seven inbreds and one synthetic line of maize were analyzed in 1994 and 1995 for their reaction to Diplodia ear rot. An additional inbred line was included in the 1995 analysis. Plants were inoculated by placing a pycnidiospore suspension (5 × 103 spores per ml) of Stenocarpella maydis in the whorl at the V14 to V15 growth stage. Crosses were evaluated for disease incidence of Diplodia ear rot at harvest, and the percentage of plants with Diplodia ear rot in a plot was used for analysis. In both years, general combining ability (GCA) effects were significant. In 1995, specific combining ability effects were also significant. There were no reciprocal effects. There was no significant interaction between year and genotypes, indicating that crosses reacted the same in both years. Inbred lines B37, H111, B68, and MS had negative GCA effects that contributed toward resistance in both years. VA26, with intermediate resistance to Diplodia ear rot, contributed toward susceptibility. Only inbred lines with a high degree of resistance should be used as parents.

RESUMO - O objetivo do trabalho foi a identificar linhagens com alta capacidade de combinação visando o desenvolvimento de híbridos simples adaptados à condição de elevada densidade populacional de plantas. Treze linhagens originadas de duas populações de milho braquítico foram cruzadas seguindo o esquema de dialelo parcial (6x7). Os híbridos simples foram avaliados em duas safras (primeira e segunda safras). Os efeitos da interação entre as capacidades gerais de combinação (CGC) e safras foram diferentes para rendimento de grãos apenas para linhagens Isanão-VD1, enquanto que para a altura de plantas, altura de espigas e acamamento mais quebramento os efeitos da interação CGCs x safras foram diferentes para ambos os grupos de linhagens. Levando em consideração apenas o rendimento de grãos, os melhores híbridos são esperados entre as linhagens IVF1-5 e IVF1-10 da população Isanão VF1 e IVD1-1 e IVD1-2 da população Isanão-VD1. Considerando-se todos os caracteres, as linhagens promissoras para a primeira safra são IVF1-6, IVD1-1 e IVD1-5, e para a segunda safra as linhagens são IVF1-10, IVD1-8 e IVD1-9. Os híbridos mais adequados são IVF1-10 x IVD1-5 para primeira safra e IVF1-10 x IVD1-8 e IVF1-10 xIVD1-9 para a segunda.Palavras-chave: dialelo parcial, capacidade geral de combinação, capacidade específica de combinação.POTENTIAL OF INBRED LINES DERIVED FROM BRACHYTIC MAIZE POPULATIONS FOR OBTAINING HYBRIDSABSTRACT - The objective of this study was to identify parents with high combining ability aiming at the development of outstanding hybrids. Thirteen inbred lines originated of two brachytic maize populations were crossed following the partial diallel (6x7) scheme. The single-cross hybrids were evaluated in two crop seasons (regular crop and second crop). The effects of interaction general combining abilities (GCAs) x seasons were different for yield only for lines of Isanão-VD-1, while for plant height, ear height and stalk lodging and breaking, the effects of interaction GCAs x seasons were different for both groups of lines. Taking into account only the grain yield, the best hybrids are expected between the inbred lines IVF1-5, and IVF1-10, of the population Isanão-VF1 and IVD1-1 and IVD1-2 and IVD1-5 of the population Isanão-VD1. Considering all the traits, the inbred lines promising for the first crop are IVF1-6, IVD1-1 and IVD1-5 and for the second crop are the inbred lines IVF1-10, IVD1-8 and IVD1-9. The most suitable hybrids are IVF1-10 x IVD1-5 for the first crop and IVF1-10 x IVD1-8, and IVF1-10 xIVD1-9 for second crop.Keywords: partial diallel, general combining ability, specific combining ability.

Peanut (Arachis hypogaeaL.) has the potential to become a major source of biodiesel, but for market viability, peanut oil yields must increase. Oil yield in peanut is influenced by many different components, including oil concentration, seed mass, and mean oil produced per seed. All of these traits can potentially be improved through selection as long as there is sufficient genetic variation. To assess the variation for these traits, a diallel mating design was used to estimate general combining ability, specific combining ability, and heritability. General combining ability estimates were significant for oil concentration, weight of 50 sound mature kernels (50 SMK), and mean milligrams oil produced per SMK (OPS). Specific combining ability was significant for oil concentration. Reciprocal effects were detected for OPS. Narrow-sense heritability estimates were very high for oil concentration and 50 SMK and low for OPS. The low OPS heritability estimate was caused by the negative correlation between oil concentration and seed size. Consequently, oil concentration and seed mass alone can be improved through early generation selection, but large segregating populations from high oil crosses will be needed to identify progeny with elevated oil concentrations that maintain acceptable seed sizes.

Chilli pepper is commercially cultivated as a spice and is also used for the extraction of a colouring agent. Here, we performed a diallel genetic study involving five chilli pepper varieties. Parents and their hybrid were evaluated for fifteen morphological and five biochemical traits over two crop seasons under open field conditions. Variation was recorded for all of the studied traits. Similarly, significant values for general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) variance were obtained for all of the traits. The ratio of σ2 SCA/σ2 GCA indicates that non-additive gene effects were predominant for all the studied traits except for fruits plant−1. Based on SCA effects, cross combinations P2 × P5, and P4 × P5 were determined excellent for flesh thickness, yield components and vitamin C. These hybrids are recommended for multilocation testing to assess their suitability for commercial cultivation. Overall, this work presents useful information regarding the genetics of important morphological and biochemical traits in chilli pepper.

The objective of this study was to evaluate four maize testers for identification of superior inbreed lines in testcross. The four testers evaluated are cultivars with narrow or wide genetic base (single-cross hybrids and open pollinated varieties) and two kernel types (flint or dent). SynD and SynF testers are open pollinated varieties with dent and flint kernels, respectively, and FSH and DSH testers are single-cross hybrids with flint and dent kernels, respectively. SynD tester showed the biggest genetic variance among the maize inbreed lines in crosses. The effects of general combining ability (GCA) for lines and specific combining ability (SCA) for lines x testers were significant, whereas GCA effects for testers were not significant. SynD and SynF testers identified the largest number of lines with higher GCA. The DSH and FSH testers showed suitable to identify lines with high SCA. It was concluded that SynD and SynF testers are adequate to identify inbreed lines with high GCA effects, and it's possible to identify new lines with high heterotic potential in each one of the four testers.

Maize inbred lines were evaluated by using line × tester method involving 11 lines and 3 testers for grain yield and its components through estimation of general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) effects. Highly significant genotypic differences were observed indicated wide range of variability present among the genotypes. The crosses with high sca effect for grain yield were evolved from high × low general combiner parents which reveled additive × dominance type of gene action. The cross combinations 9MS4-1 × L22, 9MS4-1 × L486, 9MS4-2 × L431, 9MS4-11 × L486 and 9MS4- 15 × L431 with high positive sca effect having high mean values might be used for obtaining high yielding hybrids. The information on the nature of gene action with respective variety and characters might be used depending on the breeding objectives. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v39i4.22547 Bangladesh J.
