Genetic components analysis exhibited that both additive and dominance components were highly significant for almost all the traits indicating the role of both additive as well as non-additive gene action in controlling the expression of concerned traits. In general dominance component values were higher than that of additive component for all the traits. The estimates of average degree of dominance indicated presence of over-dominance for all the traits.

An investigation to study of combining ability and gene action was conducted on green gram for seed yield per plant and its component traits. For this study, line x tester design of mating was used taking six genotypes as lines and four genotypes as testers. The variance analysis revealed significant differences for different sources of variation for most of the traits. The higher specific combining ability (SCA) values were compared to general combining ability (GCA) values. The higher degree of dominance indicated preponderance of non additive gene action. The dominance variance was predominant for all the characters except for pods per plant indicating the major role of non-additive gene action and it was highest for harvest index (HI) followed by plant height and days to 50% flowering. The parents, viz., BM 4 and JM 721 among line and AKM 8802 among testers exhibited positive significant effects and higher per se performance for seed yield per plant and other component traits and hence considered as superior parents. The hybrids viz., BM4 x PDM1, JM 10 x AKM 8802, JM 721 x PDM1, ML131 x HUM 1 and TARM 2 x TJM 3 were observed as superior specific combiners for seed yield per plant and its component traits. These hybrids or cross combinations might be utilized for further improvement of seed yield in green gram.

An experiment was carried out in blackgram using line x tester mating design to estimate the gca effect of parents (six lines and five testers) and sca effect of 30 hybrids for yield and its traits. Estimates of gca and sca variances, degree of dominance, predictability ratio and narrow sense heritability revealed that only three trais viz., pods per plant, seeds per pod and single plant yield were controlled by additive gene action and hence showed high narrow sense heritability. Magnitude of non-additive gene action was higher than the additive gene action for traits like plant height, days to 50% flowering, cluster per plant, 100 seed weight, days to maturity, branches per plant and pod length. Three parents ‘MDU1, ADT3 and LBG-752 were the best combiners and three crosses ‘MDU1 x VBN (Bg) 6, LBG-752 x VBN (Bg) 6, LBG-752 x Mash-114 showed high per se performance and significant positive sca for yield. For exploiting both additive and non-additive gene action recurrent selection to be followed to improve yield in blackgram.

Hayman’s component analysis was employed to estimate genetic components of variation for yield and yield related traits in boro rice. Nine diverse lines of boro rice were crossed in diallel mating design excluding reciprocals and all the parental lines along with their 36 crosses were evaluated in randomized block design over 3 seasons in 3 replication. Significant differences among genotypes were observed for all the traits over seasons. Component analysis indicated importance of both additive and dominance components. However, greater magnitude of dominance component than its corresponding additive component of variance exhibited greater role of dominance in the inheritance of these traits. The average degree of dominance was more than unity indicating overdominance for all the traits. Most of the traits exhibited low to moderate narrow sense heritability.Bangladesh J. Agril.

Gene action in relation to yield per plant, 1000-grain weight and number of grains per spike was studied in 9 × 9 diallel F1 and F2 populations derived separately from nine elite diverse normal and EMS treated spring wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.em Thell.). Some additive and all dominance components were significant for the three characters, their relative proportions varied from character to character. Preponderance of additive gene action was revealed for 1000-grain weight, whereas prevalence of nonadditive gene action was noted for grain yield and number of grains per spike. The magnitude of the additive component increased considerably in EMS treated F2 populations for 1000-grain weight and grain yield, whereas the EMS treatment increased the proportion of nonadditive components for number of grains per spike. Breeding plans which may effectively exploit both additive and nonadditive components of variances for evolving superior breeding populations of spring wheat have been suggested.

Combining ability and genetic components of eleven inbred line of cucumber were estimated following line x tester mating design for qualitative and quantitative characters. Three inbred lines were used as tester. Variance within the treatments, parents, parent vs crosses, crosses, testers and line x tester interaction were highly significant for all the characters. Considering the gca effects the lines CS08, CS16, CS040, CS07 and CS51 were best for their earliness and other horticulture traits. The hybrids CS07×CS08, CS16×CS44, CS51×CS44, CS40×CS08, CS17×CS39 were superior in terms of yield per plant and its component characters. The magnitude of σ2SCA was high in all characters compared to σ2GCA and dominance variance (σ2D) was higher than the additive genetic variance (σ2A) indicating that the predominance role of non-additive gene action. The results indicated the importance of heterosis breeding for effective utilization of non-additive genetic variance in cucumber.

<p>Genetic parameters of a character, which is estimated using genetic analysis approach, is important in a character improvement. The aim of this research was to examine the gene action of days to maturity character on soybean using generation mean analysis. The research consisted two steps, first was preparing four populations (F1, BC1.1, BC1.2 and F2) of three single crosses, i.e. Nanti × Grobogan, Grobogan × Malabar, and Nanti × Malabar. The second step was testing those populations consisting of P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1.1 and BC1.2 in the field at Jambegede Experimental Station, Malang, East Java, from July to September 2009. The results showed that there were interaction between the gene loci on the inheritance of days to maturity, from the three cross combinations under study. The role of additive gene action and the influence of dominant inheritance contributed jointly, affecting days to maturity of early maturity (Grobogan) and early maturity (Malabar) cross. The crossing of very late maturity (Nanti) with early maturity (Grobogan or Malabar) showed that early maturity was probably controlled by additive recessive genes.</p>

SUMMARYA diallel cross study on Indian mustard revealed a preponderance of additive gene action for seven characters out of the nine studied. Plant height and seeds per siliqua seemed to be controlled by both additive and non-additive gene action. Days to flower, number of secondary branches, length of main branch, number of siliquae on the main branch, length of siliqua and yield per plant were mainly controlled by additive gene action, whereas oil content was determined mainly by non-additive gene action. Heterosis was prevalent and the maternal effect was not generally apparent in the crosses. Rank correlations established a positive correlation between performance per se and GCA, and between heterosis and SCA.

A linear combination model proposed by Seyffert (1966) has been applied for estimating the first-degree genetic parameters specifying additive, dominance and epistatic effects of two and three gene loci affecting quantitatively inherited characters. Using the data from some recently published reports, it has been found that a large part of epistatic gene action remains undetected by the standard biometrical techniques like factorial and diallel methods of analysis. These methods usually tend to overestimate the role of additive gene action in the inheritance of metrical characters. It is suggested that characters with less complex biological causes of variation tend to show more additive genetic effect than relatively more complex traits.

Information on combining ability is derived from data on twelve yield and yield contributing characters in fifteen male and three female parents utilised in line x tester fashion to estimate combining ability of rice genotypes under coastal saline condition. Forty Five hybrids generated from crossing three lines with fifteen testers were studied along with their parents for combining ability and gene action involved in the expression of characters in rice. The gca and sca effects were significant for all the characters. The magnitude of sca variance was higher than the gca variance for all the characters revealed the presence of predominance of non-additive gene action for all the characters under study. Halchal (-12.29) was found to be good general combiners for days to 50% flowering and early maturity, Halchal (-13.39). However, IR-24 (1.88) was good general combiners with significant positive effect for tallness. Magic (-12.05) good general combiners for dwarfness and Shriram 434 (1.57) was good general combiners for test weight however, Moti was best general combiner with gca estimates of 7.07 for harvest index and Kuber (3.48) was the good general combiners for yield/hill. Cross combinations RHR 27 x IR 24 (4.04) was significant and positive effect for yield/hill, performance for ear bearing tillers per plant were RHR 27 x IR 24 (1.88). In general, the crosses showing significant and desirable combining ability effects were associated with better per se performance for the respective traits. These hybrids could be utilized in heterosis breeding to exploit hybrid vigour.

The present study was conducted in the experimental farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), Dhaka during July 2013-December2013. The analysis of variance revealed significant deviation for all the characters studied and indicated the existence of variation among thegenotypes. The PCV values were slightly higher than the respective GCV values for all the characters except unfilled grains per panicleindicating that the characters were less influenced by the environment. Total tillers per plant, effective tillers per plant, filled grains per panicle,unfilled grains per panicle and yield per plant showed high heritability coupled with high genetic advance percentage of mean which indicatedthe preponderance of additive gene action and such characters could be improved through selection. High heritability along with low geneticadvance as percentage of mean was found for plant height, days to 50% flowering, panicle length, days to maturity and thousand grains weightwhich indicated the non additive gene action for expression of these characters. Considering the genetic parameters and other agronomicperformances, the genotypes Special from AL-29, AL-36, PP-4B(i), AL-17(iii)B, AL-17(iii), AL-17(ii)A, Special from-129, Special from17(iv), AL-44(i), AL-17, Special from AL-36(D), PP-48, IR-25B, Special from AL-33, IR-25B (Tall), P-5B (ii) might be considered betterparents for future hybridization programme.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v3i1.11896    Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol. 3(1): 73-79
