Abstract Combining ability analysis provides useful information for the selection of parents, also information regarding the nature and magnitude of involved gene actions. Crops improvement involves strategies for enhancing yield potentiality and quality components. Targeting the improvement of respective characters in bitter gourd, combining ability and genetic parameters for 19 characters were estimated from a 6×6 full diallel analysis technique. The results revealed that the variances due to general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) were highly significant for most of the important characters. It indicated the importance of both additive and non-additive gene actions. GCA variances were higher in magnitude than SCA variances for all the characters studied indicating the predominance of the additive gene effects in their inheritance. The parent P2 (BG 009) appeared as the best general combiner for earliness; P1 (BG 006) for number of fruits, average single fruit weight and fruit yield; P4 (BG 027) for node number of first female flower and days to seed fruit maturity; P3 (BG 011) for fruit length and thickness of the fruit flesh; P5 (BG 033) for 100-seed weight; and P6 for number of nodes per main vine. The SCA effect as well as reciprocal effect was also significant for most of the important characters in different crosses.

Heat stress in cotton reduces its productivity. The development of heat-tolerant cotton varieties having resilience against changing climate is feasible. The purpose of this study was to probe the genetic variability in upland cotton for heat tolerance, the association of cell membrane thermostability (CMT), stomata, and trichome size with cotton adaptation to high temperature and effective breeding strategy to advance the valued traits. Relative cell injury percentage (RCI%) in studied genotypes ranged from 39 to 86%. Seventeen genotypes were found heat tolerant on the basis of low RCI%, heat susceptibility index (HSI<1), higher number of boll/plant, and seed cotton yield (SCY). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of heat-tolerant genotypes revealed the presence of different size of stomata (21.57 to 105.04 μm2) and trichomes (177 to 782.6 μm) on leaves of selected genotypes. The regression analysis showed a strong and negative association of RCI% and stomata size with SCY. However, no association was observed between the trichome size, yield, and fiber traits. On the overall location basis, a significant genotype × environment interaction was observed. All selected genotypes produced a higher SCY as compared with check varieties. But the stability analysis showed that the high yielding genotypes NIA-M-30, NIA-80, NIA-83, and CRIS-342 were also wide adaptive with unit regression (bi∼1) and non-significant deviation from the regression line (S2d∼0). The ability for the combination of some heat-tolerant genotypes was estimated by using the line × tester method among nine hybrids along with their 3 testers (i.e., male) and 3 lines (i.e., females). Genotypes, CRIS-342 and NIA-Perkh, were observed as best general combiners for SCY with a negative general combining ability effects for RCI%. Five hybrids showed a positive specific combining ability and heterotic effects for studied traits and also found lowest for HSI. RCI% and SCY/plant displayed higher estimates of heritability and genetic advance, indicating the heritability due to additive gene effects and chances of effective selection. The identified heat-tolerant and wide adaptive germplasm can be further advanced and utilized in cotton breeding programs for developing heat-tolerant cultivars. Selection criteria involving CMT and stomata size concluded to be an effective strategy for the screening of heat-tolerant cotton.

Early maturity, small seed size, and high seed yield are important characters of mungbean in Indonesia. The objective of the study was to determine the useful parents in mungbean crosses for early maturity, small seed size, and high seed yield varieties by estimating the genetic parameters and their inheritance. The study was conducted at the ILETRI, Malang, East Java, Indonesia, during the dry season of 2014. 20 F1 and 5 parents were evaluated using a randomized block design, repeated three times. Results of the study showed that all observed traits showed the importance of both additive and dominance gene effects. The relative value of general combining ability (GCA) was greater than specific combining ability (SCA) for number of pod clusters per plant, number of branches per plant, plant height, days to maturity, and 100-seed weight which indicated the importance of additive gene effect. The dominance gene effect occurred on number of pods and seed yield per plant. Among five parents, G3 was the best combiner for all the observed characters except pod length; therefore, G3 could be exploited for late maturity, small seed size, high number of branches and pod cluster, and high seed yield. G5 has a high GCA for 100-seed weight. G1 and G2 have good GCA for early maturity. G3 and G5 genotypes are useful as parents in mungbean breeding for small and large seed size varieties, respectively. The best combination for seed yield was G2 × G3 and G3 × G1 crosses and could be proceeded with selection for early maturity, small seed size, and high seed yield varieties.

To assess the combining ability for quantitative and qualitative traits in cucumber a full diallel set of 7 parents and their 42 F1’s was evaluated at Horticultural Research Centre, Department of Horticulture, H.N.B. Garhwal University, Srinagar (Garhwal), Uttarakhand, India during 2015 and 2016. The mean sum of squares due to general combining ability (GCA) was of significant differences at 1 % level for almost all the characters. The variance due to specific combining ability (SCA) was found highly significant at 1 % level for almost all the characters. Results from general combining ability studies revealed that the parent, New Manipur-1 showed significant GCA effect in desired direction for maximum characters viz., length of vine, days to first fruit harvest and number of fruits per vine. The cross combinations, Seven Star x New Manipur-1 for length of vine, Swarna Purna x Seven Star for days to first fruit harvest; K-90 x Seven Star for number of fruits per vine and the cross PB-Naveen x Swarna Purna for total fruit yield per vine showed significant SCA effect in desired direction and found to be superior specific cross combinations.
