Hybrid Performance And Heterosis In F1 Offspring Of Triticale (× Triticosecale Wittm.), Mustafa Yildirim, Hasan Gezgi̇nç, Ali̇ Haydar Paksoy
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
In this study, the combined ability effects and heterosis were determined for number of days to anthesis (AT), plant height (PH), fertile tillers plant^{1} (FT), spike length (SL), spikelets spike1 (SS) and grains spike1 (GS), 1000-kernel weight (TW), and grain yield plant^{1} (GY) of 4 triticale genotypes [Karma (G1), Presto (G2), Ayşehanım (G3), and Mehmetbey (G4)] and their 6 F_1 offspring. The mean squares of general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) were statistically significant for all traits. According to the GCA/SCA, additive gene effects were found for all traits. According to the desired values for traits on …

Combining Ability And Heterosis For Concentration Of Mineral Elements And Protein In Common Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.), Ercan Ceyhan, Mustafa Harmankaya, Ali̇ Kahraman
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Bean is one of the most consumed pulse crops in the world. Hence, the quality of the protein and mineral content is important for producers and consumers. Line × tester methods were used to determine the combining ability and heterosis of protein content and mineral accumulation in common beans that were crosses of PV1, PV2, PV3, PV4, PV5, PV6, Sehirali 90, Akman 98, and Yunus 90. Mean squares of line × tester interactions were significant for all of the investigated traits and indicated the prevalence of nonadditive variance; moreover, the value of the s^²_{gca}/s^²_{sca} ratio for all characters was less …
