Genetic diversity in relation to heterosis and combining ability in spring wheat
1Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh.
Abstract:
Genetic diversity among ten varieties of spring wheat used as parents in a diallel cross was assessed through multivariate analysis (D(2)-statistics) and then related to heterosis and SCA effects of their hybrids. The parents fell into three groups. Group I contained the varieties, 'Nobre', 'Girua' and 'Carazinho'; group II contained 'Sonalika', 'Lyallpur' and 'Pitic 62' and group III contained 'Indus 66', 'Balaka', 'Sonora 64rs and 'MSl'. The varieties of group I were good general combiners, while the varieties of group III were poor combiners. Significant heterotic and SCA effects for yield and yield components were observed in the hybrids of the parents belonging to different groups but not in the same group. Genetic divergence between the parents had a positive relationship with heterosis and SCA effects of the hybrids.

Dihybrid Crosses
Chi-square Analysis
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...
Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...
