Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the present status and future prospects for
breeding hybrid rice and wheat. Rice and wheat together constitute the world's two most …

Kernel elongation after cooking is an important character of fine rice and most rice
consumers prefer length‐wise elongation. Although improvement of aromatic rice began …

Twenty seven crosses represented by a 3 lines x 9 testers design along with parents were
evaluated for grain yield and related characters. Analysis of variance indicated significant …

Data from a 5 X 5 diallel cross, without reciprocals and involving varieties differing in degree
of grain elongation on cooking, indicated that both nonadditive and additive types of gene …

In partial diallel cross analysis involving16 parents in rice (Oryza sativa 1.), both dominant
and additive gene actions were found to play important roles in character expression. In the …

A diallel analysis involving seven rice genotypes was conducted for combining ability
estimates for tillers per plant, panicle length, panicle sterility, yield per plant and 100-seed …

A Line x Tester analysis in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) was carried out with seven lines
and four testers to estimate the combining ability effects, nature of gene action and heterosis …

Twenty one hybrids generated from crossing seven lines and three testers were studied
along with their parents for combining ability and gene action involved in the expression of …

In this present study, the Line× Tester analysis in brinjal (Solanum melangena L.) was
carried out with seven lines and three testers to estimate the combining ability for thirteen …
