Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Mean squares of faba bean genotypes were highly significant for all studied traits.
- Observation Most faba bean crosses exhibited significant heterosis for the better parent for all studied traits.
- Observation General and specific combining ability mean squares were highly significant for all studied traits.
- Association Additive genetic variance was positive but lower than non-additive genetic variance for all studied traits.
- Mechanism Non-additive gene action is asserted to play a major role in the inheritance of the studied faba bean traits.
- Association Broad sense heritability estimates were more than the narrow sense heritability estimates for all studied traits.
- Observation Narrow sense heritability was 34.2 and 14.8% for earliness traits in faba bean.
- Observation Narrow sense heritability ranged from 15.2 to 29.8% for number of branches per plant and plant height in faba bean.
- Observation Giza 843 (P4) was a good general combiner for earliness in faba bean.
- Observation Misr 2 (P1) was a good general combiner for yield and yield components in faba bean.
- Association The cross P1xP5 showed desirable SCA effects and significant heterosis for earliness and yield components.
- Association The crosses P1xP3 and P3xP4 showed desirable SCA effects for vegetative traits.
- Recommendation The promising crosses could be used in breeding programs to produce pure lines.
