This study was conducted at the of field research station Sianow belong to the General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research at Lattakia, to evaluate the susceptibility of maize hybrids produced by using half Diallel the cross according to
the design ofrandomized completeblocks (R.C.B.D), under industrial infection by large corn stem borer Sesamia cretica. Hybrids were compared with the control (Ghouta- 82). The hybrid (P1 × P2) Showed positive and highly significantheterosis for Ear diameter and tolerance forlarge corn stem borer compared with the average of the parents and the best parents and the check (Ghouta- 82). The hybrid (P2 × P6) showed positive and highly significant heterosis for the number of kernels per row compared with the average of the parents and the best parents and the check (Ghouta- 82). Also the hybrid (P1 × P6) showed positive and highly significant heterosis for the number of kernels per row relative to the average of the parents and the best parents and the check (Ghouta- 82). hybrid (P4 × P6) showed positive and highly significant heterosis for the recipe grain yield compared with the average of the parents and the best parents and the check (Ghouta- 82). The hybrid(P5 × P6) also showed positive and highly significant heterosis for the Percentage of dead hearts of the developing summit compared with the average of the parents and the best parents, and compared with the check (Ghouta- 82), therefore it can be considered as a sensitive hybrid.
The study was done at the field research station Sianow of General Commission for
Scientific Agricultural Research at Lattakia, to evaluate the susceptibility of 6 strains of maize
Zea mays. L, and fifteen maize crosses obtained by half Diallel cro
ss, against under conditions
Industrial infection by large corn stem borer , Sesamia cretica Led. The experience was
designed at randomized complete blocks (R.C.B.D).
Strain IL.257-09)P1( expressed general high capacity to the attributes of Number of
kernels per row(3.089), number of holes (-1.261). Strain IL.298-09 (P2) also expressed general
high capacity to the attributes of Ear length (0.717), Intensity of damage (-0.432),% of yield
loss (-6.022). strain IL.286-09 (P3) general high capacity to the attributes of diameter Ear
(0.292), number of rows per ear (2.806). Strains IL.255-09 )P4) )0.036( and IL.228-09)P5)
(0.969) also expressed general high capacity to the attributes of grain yield. Strain IL.262-
09(P6) expressed general high capacity to the attributes of 100- Kernel weight (1.942),
infestation grain yield) 0.784), tunnel length (-5.629), Percentage of dead hearts (-1.132).
This study was carried out through the cooperation between the Faculty of
Agriculture Tishreen University and the General Commission of Agricultural Scientific
Researches in Hama during 2013 and 2014 successive seasons.
Eight soft wheat(Triticumae
stivum)genotypes were crossed using half diallel method
.The(28) crosses were grown along with their parents in randomized complete block with
three replications to estimate general combiningability , specific combining ability, and
both mid and high parent heterosis for number of spikes /plant , number of grains /spike ,
thousand grain weight and grain yield.
The results indicated that both additive and non- additive types of gene action were
important in the inheritance of traits under study with preponderance of additive gene
effects for number of grains /spike and thousand grain weight,Non – additive gene effects
were pronounced in the inheritance of number of spikes /plant and grain yield.
High general combiners for thesecharacters were obtained and the most important
parents were: Bohouth 4- Douma 44828-Acsad1115- Golan2.
Many positive specific combiners having both mid and high parent heterosis and
derived from positive general combiners were obtained such as(Golan2×Cham10) –
(Acsad1115×Douma4)(Douma44828×Golan2) and (Douma 2×Golan2).
Results also indicated that some hybrids: (Douma44828×Golan2) (Bohouth6×Douma4)
(Douma44828×Cham10) (Douma2×Acsad1115) had heterosis compared to higher parent
for number of spikes /plant , number of grains / spike , Thousand grain weight and grain
yield..
The thyme is a wild plant naturally present in the Syrian Seaside at varying altitudes
up to more than 1000 m above sea level. The essential oil was extracted from thyme plants
taken from seven sites (Safita - Beit Sheikh Younis, Khirbet Al-Mezah –
Albirdanie,
Sheikh Badr – Aljalsat, Banias – Shibani, Qadmous – Alhatria, Qardahah - Deir Hanna,
Albhloulih - Beit Alia) by distilling 200 g of dry leaves from each site to obtain the
essential oil.
This study was conducted at the field of the research station Sianow of General Commission
for Scientific Agricultural Research at Lattakia, to evaluate the susceptibility of 6 strains of maize (
IL.257-09(P1), IL.298-09(P2 ) , IL.286-09 (P3 ), IL.
255-09( P4), IL.262-09 (P5), IL.228-09 (P6 )),
against the natural infestation by large corn stem borer , Sesamia cretica Led. They were
Compared with control (Ghouta 82).because it is the most growing variety in Syria.
This study was carried out at the Scientific Agriculture Research Center, Al-Ghab,
Syria, during 2013 –2014 growing seasons to estimate heterosis, combining ability,
phenotypic correlation and path analysis for plant and ear height, ear length, ear
diameter,
number of rows per ear, number of kernels per row, 100 kernel weight and grain yield per
plant for eighteen hybrids produced by the line × tester method, the major findings were:
inbred lines, testers, hybrids and combining ability mean squares were significant for all
traits, indicating that additive and non-additive gene actions were the important in
inheritance of all traits. The ratios of σ2
GCA/σ2
SCA showed that non-additive gene action was
more important in controlling all traits except of number of kernel per row. Heterosis
percentage for all traits were significant compared with the check variety except of ear
height trait. GCA effects showed that the lines P1 and P7 were good combiners for grain
yield per plant, also, SCA effects showed that P2×P8, P5×P8, P4×P9 and P1×P7 crosses were
the best F1 combiners for grain yield per plant. Results of phenotypic correlation and path
analysis values showed that ear length, ear diameter and number of kernel per row were
positively and significantly associated with grain yield per plant, also, these traits can be
considered as selection criteria may lead to the improvement of grain yield in maize.
It was evaluated the susceptibility of 6 lines of maize, and fifteen
maize crosses, against by large corn stem borer, Sesamia cretica Led
under conditions Industrial infection. A study of the correlation
coefficient showed linear relationship of yields by 100- Kernel weight.
The experiment was grown in a Randomized Complete Blocks
Design with three replications, to estimate the heterosis, degree of
dominance and the inbreeding depression of three hybrids of maize.
The Experiment was conducted during the successive growing
seasons (2013/2014- 2014/2015) where half–diallel hybridization was
conducted between eight genotypes of bread wheat.
