Cotton (Gossypium barbadense) is an important fiber crop that plays a major role in the
economy and national income of many countries worldwide. Knowledge of combining ability …

Cotton breeding progress stagnation, changing production conditions, and continued high
fiber quality demands are challenging the cotton industry in Burkina Faso. The F1 …

Combining ability is mostly used by breeders to select appropriate parental cultivars to
produce the larger progeny of new combinations through their hybridization. The objectives …

The major problem with the simultaneous improvement of yield with higher fiber quality is
the negative association due to the linkage and pleiotropic effects between lint yield …

Genetic potential and combining ability were studied in 6× 6 F1 cross of Gossypium hirsutum
L. at the University of Agriculture, Peshawar, Pakistan. Six parental genotypes (CIM-446 …

The market value of cotton in exporting countries, such as Burkina Faso, depends on the
quality of major fiber properties. A lack of variation among the genetic resources available in …

Due to the difficulty in producing cotton F 1 hybrid seed through hand emasculation and
pollination, the capture of heterosis in cotton production is limited. The purpose of this study …

The research work comprised of combining ability and genetic variability in a 6× 6 F1 diallel
cross which was carried out during crop seasons 2008 and 2009 at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa …

The study aimed to improve cotton genotypes by developing early maturity and compact
plant architecture traits for suitability to high density planting and mechanical harvesting. Ten …

The present experiment was carried out to assess the general combining ability (GCA) and
specific combining ability (SCA) of six important commercial cultivars of Gossypium hirsutum …
