Seed Characteristics

Five flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) cultivars, Dufferin, McGregor, Linott, NorLin and NorMan were grown in the field in 1985, 1986 and 1987 at seeding rates of 200, 400, 600 and 800 seeds m−2. Averaged over all cultivars and years, as seeding rate increased from 200 to 800 seeds m−2, maturity was hastened 2.1 d, seed weight decreased 0.16 g 1000−1 seeds, oil content decreased 0.6%, iodine number decreased 1.3 units and volume weight was not markedly changed. Lodging increased and basal branching decreased from 1.68 to 0.18 branches per plant as seeding rate increased. Plant height increased 0.6 cm from the 200 to the 400 seeds m−2 rate then decreased 1.8 cm from the 400 to the 800 seeds m−2 rate. Seed yield increased from 110 to 124 g m−2 as seeding rate increased from 200 to 600 seeds m−2, then decreased to 121 g m−2 at 800 seeds m−2. Although yields of the five cultivars varied somewhat in their response to seeding rate and year, most yielded near optimum at the 600 seeds m−2 seeding rate.Key words: Flax, Linum usitatissimum L., seeding rate, lodging

Correlation coefficients were calculated in all possible combinations between days to maturity, plant height, number of capsules, primary branches, secondary branches, average number of seeds per capsule, 1000-seed weight, and seed yield per plant in 48 F3 populations of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.). None of these attributes had negative association with seed yield. The majority of the yield components had a strong positive association with seed yield and the correlation coefficient of plant height with seed yield was negligible. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the regression equation involving number of secondary branches and number of capsules per plant had efficient prediction power. Path analysis studies also revealed that number of capsules followed by secondary branches and 1000-seed weight were the major components influencing seed yield. Selection indices based on primary branches, secondary branches, number of capsules, 1000-seed weight, and seed yield per plant were 203.83% superior to direct selection for seed yield.

SUMMARYGenetic diversity was assessed in 46 non-oilseed sunflower genotypes for 14 characters by adopting D2 analysis. Oil content and plant height exhibited maximum contributions towards genetic divergence. The genotypes were grouped into 11 clusters. The inter-cluster D2 values ranged from 288.17 to 3972.34. The contribution of oil content towards genetic divergence in the 46 genotypes was confirmed when D2 analysis was performed for seed characteristics such as test weight, volume weight, hull content, kernel recovery, oil and protein content.

Important Trait

Background: Seed yield is a very important trait for selection but shows low heritability and hence is difficult to improve. Since the productivity of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) in India as well as Himachal Pradesh is low in comparison to other major linseed growing countries and states, improvement in cultivars for grain yield is a must. Therefore, the present study was aimed for studying the character associations in linseed genotypes for seed yield over locations. Method: The experiment was conducted during rabi 2019-2020. The experimental material for the present investigation comprised of 52 linseed genotypes grown over three locations in Himachal Pradesh i.e. Linseed Experimental Farm, CSK HPKV, Palampur (1290 m amsl), Shivalik Agricultural Research and Extension Centre, Kangra (700 m amsl) and Hill Agricultural Research and Extension Centre, Dhaulakuan (468 m amsl). Randomized block design with three replications was used. Phenotypic and genotypic correlation coefficients were worked out as per the procedure outlined by Burton and De Vane (1953) and Johnson et al. (1955). Direct and indirect effects of component traits on grain yield were worked out using correlation coefficient of various traits as suggested by Wright (1921) and elaborated by Dewey and Lu (1959). Result: Correlation studies indicated highly significant positive correlation for seed yield with 1000 seed weight (0.965**) followed by harvest index (0.801**), secondary branches (0.585**) and a significant correlation with biological yield (0.269**). Seed yield exhibited a non-significant positive correlation with seeds per capsule. However, a negative significant correlation was observed for seed yield with days to 50 per cent flowering and number of primary branches. The path coefficient analysis indicated that 1000 seed weight exhibited maximum positive direct effect with seed yield (0.741) while others had a low direct effect. The significant positive correlation of number of secondary branches and harvest index with seed yield was mainly due to indirect effect via 1000 seed weight indicating that 1000 seed weight is the most important trait for the improvement of grain yield in linseed as per the present study.

Abstract The present research aimed to study gene effects for seed yield and its component traits in sunflower hybrids having diverse cytosterile sources from Helianthus annuus and H. argophyllus. Five lines and ten testers were crossed in a line x tester mating design to develop 50 F1 hybrids for genetic analysis. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the traits studied. Seasonal variation was found significant for all the traits except stem diameter, volume weight and seed filling percentage. The mean squares of lines and testers from crosses both determine the GCA were also significant for most of the traits which revealed the prevalence of additive variances and additive gene action. The mean squares of lines x tester interactions were also significant for all the traits considered. The significance of lines x tester interactions indicated that SCA is also important in the expression of traits and demonstrated the value of non-additive variances and dominant genes controlling the various traits. Among the diverse cytosterile lines, ARG-6-3-1-4 was identified as the best general combiner for stem diameter, volume weight, seed yield, hull content, oil content and oil yield. While, the line ARG-2-1-2 was best general combiner for days to 50 per cent flowering, head diameter, 100 seed weight and seed filling percentage. The tester M17-R was observed to be best general combiner for earliness and volume weight, while RHA 93 was the best general combiner for plant height, seed yield and oil content. The best cross combinations; MUT-2-8-3-2 x GKVK 3 was found to be good specific combiner for stem diameter, 100 seed weight, seed yield, seed filling percentage, oil content and oil yield, while ARG-6-3-1-4 x GKVK 3 was good specific combiner for days to 50% flowering, plant height and 100 seed weight.

Two large-seeded buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.) cultivars, Mancan and Manor, and semi-dwarf lines, were grown at Morden and Portage la Prairie in the years 1979–1982 at seeding rates of 15, 30, 45 and 60 kg/ha. There was no consistent effect of seeding rate on plant height, seed weight (g/1000 seeds) or seed density. In six of the eight location-years there was no interaction of genotype × seeding rate for seed yield, indicating that, generally, the cultivars and lines reacted similarly to differences in seeding rate. It was concluded that a seeding rate of from 30 to 45 kg/ha would ensure optimum yield in most years.Key words: Buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum Moench., seeding rates

Linum Usitatissimum L

Creation of the initial material of fiber flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) with marker signs is a promising direction of breeding, which determines the efficiency of breeding varieties with improved properties. The purpose of the research was to create initial flax material for obtaining seeds with a marker sign (yellow color) and increased weight. The studies were carried out at the Federal Research Center for Bast Fiber Crops in 2015–2018. In our work, we used flax varieties ‘Smolich’, ‘Antey’, ‘C-108’, as well as forms obtained from these varieties. These varieties were used as control. Nurseries were laid under conditions of a leveled agricultural background. Seeds were sown in a square way (2.5×2.5 cm). The experiments were conducted according to the current methods, including phytopathological testing. Soil – sod-podzolic, medium loamy, cultivated. Selyaninov Hydrothermal Coefficient (HTC) in 2015 was 1.3; in 2016 – 2.2; in 2017 – 1.8; in 2018 – 1.3. During the flax plants selection, we obtained three forms with yellow-colored seeds. Yellow-seeded form No. 1 was valuable from the breeding point of view. It exceeded standard variety ‘Smolich’ in seed weight by 0.8 mg (16.0%), in seed yield – by 0.06 t/ha (9.8%). Form No. 1 belongs to the improved fiber flax line. Form No. 3 had a higher seed mass (5.6 mg) compared to standard variety ‘C-108’. In terms of seed yield and 1000-seed weight, this form exceeded the standard by 0.08 t/ha or 14.8% and 0.49 g or 10.6%, respectively. Form No. 3 is a breeding material for creating varieties of bilateral use. Form No. 2 had signs of the oil flax line. It exceeded standard variety ‘Antey’ in seed yield by 0.18 t/ha (40%); 1000-seed weight – by 0.53 g (11.2%). The created material has a breeding value. It was transferred to the bioresource collection of flax for its replenishment, to the bank of the characteristic collection and was additionally included in the breeding process.

The influence of the level of mineral nutrition and rate of seed sowing on yield and fatty acid composition of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) in the Non-chernozem zone of Russia was studied. It was shown that the level of mineral fertilizers N - 90, P2O5 - 60, and K2O - 60 kg/ha under the rate of sowing of 8 million seeds/ha provided maximum seed yield of 1.94 t/ha. A clear correlation between oil content and rate of sowing has not been established. Under an increasing level of mineral nutrition, oil content was slightly increased. The composition of oil was slightly changed under the influence of the studied factors.
