The role of heterosis in enhancing productivity in food crops is well known. Legume
breeders have not been able, however, to take advantage of this genetic phenomenon for a …

Protein-rich food legumes are usually cultivated as rain-dependent crops under subsistence
agriculture. Besides this, most farmers are deprived of improved seeds due to lack of interest …

An experiment was carried out using seven cytoplasmic-genetic male sterile (CGMS) lines
as females and seven diversified testers as males in a line× tester design. The analysis of …

An experiment was conducted to determine the nature and magnitude of heterosis in castor
for seed yield and its yield attributing traits. Forty hybrids were synthesized involving five …

An experiment was carried out using three cytoplasmic-genetic male sterile (CGMS) lines as
females and four diversified testers as males in a line× tester design. The analysis of …

A study involving three cytoplasmic-genetic male sterile lines and 14 diverse pollinators
were crossed in a line× tester design during Kharif 2011. The resultant 42 hybrids and their …

The present experiment was undertaken to study the combining ability for seed yield and it's
contributing traits in pigeonpea. The experimental material consisted of thirteen parents and …

A set of 102 hybrid combinations, developed by crossing three A4 CMS lines and 34 diverse
testers, was evaluated to identify potential parental genotypes for breeding new high …

The present investigation comprising of nine parents of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.)
Millsp.) and 20 cross combinations developed through Line X Tester (5 X 4) crossing …

Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is one of the most important pulse crop of India and
ranks second to chickpea in area and production. It is grown under wide range of cropping …
