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 …

For commercial development of hybrids the four pre-requisites are; availability of perfect
male-sterility system, efficient mass pollen transfer mechanism, hybrid vigor, and the large …

The role of hybrid vigour in the enhancement of productivity is well recognized. Its
application, however, has been restricted to a few crops and legume breeders could never …

Agriculture is the fundamental basis of human evolution and has evolved itself as the
civilisations progressed. Crop breeding is a process in which the most chosen plant is …

Fertility restoration is a crucial requirement for successful hybrid synthesis using CGMS
system in crops. This investigation was carried out with the objective to explore the extent of …

The present investigations were carried out to derive information on heterosis, combining
ability, stability and some quality parameters in a series of CGMS-based pigeonpea hybrids …

Cytoplasmic genic male sterility system based hybrids were synthesized by line× tester
design and evaluated with check GTH 1 in RBD at Sardarkrushinagar, Jagudan and …

Six newly converted cytoplasmic male sterile lines were crossed with 12 fertility restorer
lines in line x tester mating design. Synthesized hybrids were evaluated with check Gujarat …

Studies on fertility restoration in newly developed CMS lines and extent of hybrid vigour in
pigeonpea hybrids help in developing elite pigeonpea hybrids specifically suited for …

In cytoplasmic genetics male-sterility (CGMS)-based hybrid seed production technology,
instability of fertility restoration is one of the prime causes behind instable yield performance …
