Investigation was carried out in Izraa research station /Daraa
Research Center/GCSAR (Damascus, Syria), during the agricultural
seasons 2012/2013 and 2013/2014. Parents and hybrids were planted
by randomized complete block design ،the
results we
re analyzed by averages generation’s method to study the
genetic variation components of some morphological and quantity
treats (days to maturity, pods per plant, high and wide of plant,
high of first pod, weight of 100 seeds, and seed yield).
The present investigation was conducted during 2010/2011 and 2011/2012
growing seasons at Karahta station for field crops research, General
Commission for Scientific Agricultural Researches (G.C.S.A.R.), Syria. Forty
five hybrids F1 produced using
a half diallel cross among ten bread wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes, in 2010/2011 season, were evaluated during
2011/2012 season in order to study som of the genetic parameters for grain
yield per plant, its components, some morphophysiological and quality traits to
determine the basic criteria for selection.

The experiment was grown in a Randomized Complete Blocks
Design with three replications during two seasons. Generations
means analysis method was used to study the genetic parameters for number of days to heading, number of days to maturity, plant
height, number of spikes per plant, number of grains per spike and grain yield per plant of two bread wheat crosses Triticum aestivum L. (Gairwel7 x Douma4), (Azaz1 x Soued), Results have shown that
both additive and dominance genetic effects were high significant in most evaluated traits, with predominance of the dominance genetic effects’ values. Also, epistatic genetic effects have contributed to inheritance of most studied traits. The signs of dominance and dominance x dominance were opposite in most examined traits indicating duplicate epistasis for all studied traits of the first cross and for number of days to maturity, plant height and number of grains per spike of the second cross, that indicates that the selection for these traits should be delayed after several generations. High phenotypic variations were composed of high genotypic variations and less of environmental variations, indicating the presence of high genetic variability for different traits and less influence of environment. Highly significant heterosis relative to mid and better parents in F1 was recorded for most characters, accompanied with inbreeding depression for all traits in
F2. Narrow sense heritability and genetic advance were low in most cases due to the dominant of non-additive genetic action in controlling the genetic variation of the most studied traits.
This study was carried out at Karahta station, Department of Field Ccrops
researches, General Commission for Scientific Agriculture Researches
(GCSAR), Damascus Country Side, Syria during the 2009-2010and 2010-2011
growing seasons to estimate gene
action for grain yield and its components.
Seeds of the durum wheat hybrid (Sham5 X Azgar1) were grown in three
replicates. Results indicated that the used genotypes had good variation to be
used as parents in wheat hybridization program to achieve significant genetic
advance. Mean square results showed significant differences among mean
values of the five populations for all studied traits in the hybrid and in most
traits, epistasis or dominance gene action occupied the first rank to the genetic
effects. It was suggested that selection for most studied traits in the subsequent
generations is relatively more effective than in early generations.
This research was conducted at the Maize Research Department (Kharaboo) of
General Commission of Science Agriculture Research (GCSAR), Damascus, Syria,
during the growing seasons of 2009, 2010 ad, 2011 to study the genetic behavior of days
to 50%
silking, plant height, ear length, 100 grains weight and yield per plant by using
generation mean analysis (GMA) of two individual hybrids of maize, to estimate the
heritability, Phenotypic (PCV), and genotypic (GCV) coefficient variations and the
genetic advance.
The research was conducted at the Maize Researches Department, General
Commission for Scientific Agriculture Researches (G.C.S.A.R.) Damascus,
Syria during the summer growing seasons of 2010, 2011 and 2012. Treatments
were arranged in a Randomized
Complete Blocks Design with three
replications. The research aimed to evaluate genetic parameters for some traits
like days to 50% silking, 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 using generations means analysis of two maize hybrids (IL.292-06 ×
IL.565-06, IL.459-06 × IL.362-06) to detect epistasis and estimates of mean
effect [m], additive [d], dominance [h], additive × additive [i], additive ×
dominance [j] and dominance × dominance [l] parameters. Results showed that
the additive - dominance model was adequate to demonstrate the genetic
variation and its importance in the inheritance of most studied traits. Nonallelic
gene interaction was operating in the control of genetic variation in most
studied traits. The signs of [h] and [l] were opposite in most studied traits for
the two crosses. Also, the inheritance of all studied traits was controlled by
additive and non-additive genetic effects, but dominance gene effects play the
major role in controlling the genetic variation of the most studied traits,
suggesting that the improvement of those characters need intensive selection
through later generations. The phenotypic variations were greater than
genotypic variations for all studied traits in the two crosses, indicating greater
influence of environment in the expression of these traits. Highly significant
heterosis relative to mid and better parents, respectively was found for all
characters, and this accompanied with inbreeding depression for all traits.
Narrow sense heritability and genetic advance were low in most of the traits
due to the dominance of non-additive gene action in controlling the genetic
variation of the most studied traits and this predict low to medium values of
genetic advance through selection process.
This study was carried out at Karahta station of field crops research
department General Commission for Scientific Agriculture Researches
(G.C.S.A.R.) Damascus Syria during the 2009 -2010 and 2010 -2011 growing
seasons to estimate gene action, p
otency ratios, heterosis and Inbreeding
depressions. Five population seeds of two single hybrids (Cham-5 × Azeghar-1),
(Bohoth-5 × Gidara-2) were formed by crossing of four inbred lines. The
crosses were subjected to randomized complete block design (RCBD) with
three replications in order to evaluate plant height (PH), number of grains per
spike (GRSP), flag leaf area (FLA), thousand kernel weight (TKY) and grain
(p<0.05) yield per plant (GYP). Mean square results showed significant
differences among mean values of the five populations for all studied traits in
all crosses. Significant heterosis values compared to mid and better parent were
observed for all traits with exception of (PH) (5.82, 1.62)%, (GRSP) (27.49
9.66)% and(TKY) (3.05 7.53)% for Cross-1. (GYP) (82.46, 96.63)% for Cross-
2. (GRSP) (9.09 5.14)%. The potency ratios exceeded (+1) in all traits and
crosses except (PH) (-2.23) for Cross-2. Indicating that over-dominance
towards low placement. The results indicated that Inbreeding depression values
were significant for all traits in Cross-1 except for (GRSP) (10.33), and (TKY)
(15.23). While its values were non- significant for all traits inCross-2except
(GRSP) (25.46*). In most traits epestasis or dominant gene action occupied the
first rank in controlling these traits in both crosses. It could be suggested that
selection for most studied traits in the subsequent generations will be relatively
more effective than in early generations.
