The improvement in sunflower breeding requires exploitation of combining ability of
divergent male and female inbreds. Six cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines and three …

A line x tester set of 60F1's involving three cytoplasmic male sterile lines and twenty inbred
lines along with parents was evaluated over two environments to evaluate the combining …

Twenty four lines were crossed with two testers in an L x T mating design to estimate the
combining ability for seed yield in sunflower. Non-additive genetic variance played a …

SUMMARY A Line× tester analysis of 45 hybrids in sunflower using three CMS lines and 15
testers was carried out to study the combining ability for seed yield and its contributing traits …

A study was carried out to assess the combining ability of ten CMS lines with four testers
using the line x tester method. Biometrical observations were taken for days to 50 …

Five CMS lines and six restorers were crossed in a line x tester fashion to elucidate the
information on the combining ability for seed yield, yield components and oil content and …

The present study of combing ability in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) was undertaken
with the objective of identifying good general combiner for yield and yield component traits …

Ten sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) lines, five testers, and 50 crosses developed in line×
tester fashion were evaluated for general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining …

Four CMS lines were crossed to 12 male parents (Restorers) in sunflower (Helianthus
annuus L.) in a line× tester mating design. Results revealed preponderance of non-additive …

General and specific combining ability variances and their effects were studied for nine
characters in sunflower using a line× tester mating design. The study indicated a …
