Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Lines with A4 cytoplasm were significantly better general combiners for grain yield per ear, ear weight and ear length than lines with A1 and A5 cytoplasm.
- Intervention effect Lines with A4 cytoplasm were significantly better general combiners for productive tillers per plant than lines with A1 and A5 cytoplasm.
- Observation Pollinators IP-1497, IP-973, IP-872 and IP-10085 proved useful for breeding high yielding pearl millet hybrids.
- Observation No pollinator was simultaneously a good combiner for all the traits.
- Association Most hybrids carrying A4 cytoplasm were highly heterotic for grain yield per ear, grain yield per plant and ear length.
- Association Most A5 based hybrids were highly heterotic for productive tillers, ear length and flag leaf area.
- Association Most A5 based hybrids were highly heterotic for peduncle length.
- Association Mean and range of heterosis for days to flowering, days to maturity and plant height were limited across the three cytoplasm sources.
- Association Mean and range of heterosis for flag leaf area and 1000-grain weight were limited across the three cytoplasm sources.
- Observation Heterosis magnitude was high for ear weight, grain yield per ear and grain yield per plant.
- Intervention effect A4 based hybrids had maximum heterosis for grain yield per plant and other panicle components, ahead of A1 and A5.
- Observation The results indicated a distinct advantage of the A4, A1 and A5 cytoplasms for heterosis.
