Combining ability and heterosis were studied in a 6× 6 diallel cross to see the nature of
gene action in Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) during 2002 to 2004. Analysis of …

Cotton is considered as a major cash crop of the world. It earns huge foreign exchange by its
valuable products; fiber, lint, cotton seed oil, hull and a lot more. Being an important fiber …

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 …

Combining ability was studied for identification of potential cultivars and hybrids, and the
nature of gene action involved for inheritance of cottonseed traits and oil content% in a 6x6 …

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 …

A line x tester crossing programme was taken up with ten lines and five testers with a view to
identify the best heterotic crosses for seed cotton yield and its attributing traits in upland …

Heterosis in upland cotton has been exploited for many decades, but efforts have not
bestowed the predictable results due to its predominant nature of self-pollination and floral …

A study was made in upland cotton with 9 x 9 diallel to assess the extent of heterosis over
standard check (G. Cot. Hy. 14) for seed cotton yield and its related attributes traits at main …

Diallel analysis was carried out by involving nine parents and their 72 cross combinations in
upland cotton for assessing their combining ability for yield and its component characters …

Present study aims to estimate GCA of the parents and SCA of GMS based diploid cotton
hybrids for yield and its associate traits. The magnitude of the components of GCA and SCA …
