Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation GCA and SCA variance components were significant for all traits.
- Mechanism The GCA variance component predominated, indicating additive gene effects.
- Observation Four parents were best general combiners for grain yield and average to high for other traits.
- Observation Four specific crosses were best for grain yield under heat stress.
- Observation HD 2285 and Raj 1972 were best general combiners for yield and protein content.
- Observation Raj 3077, Lok-1 and CPAN 3004 were best general combiners for protein content.
- Observation Three specific crosses were most suitable for protein content.
- Observation Most specific crosses for yield and protein involved high by average or average by average general combiners.
- Recommendation The authors suggest bi-parental or diallel selective mating to exploit additive and non-additive gene action.
