The research was carried out at Tal Hedya Research Center in Aleppo, General
Commission for Agriculture Scientific Research (GCSAR), Syria, during 2011
and 2012 seasons. Seven genotypes of cotton were used, and complete diallel
hybridization was m
ade to study general and specific combining ability of some
productivity traits (sympodial branch number, actual boll number and seed cotton
yield). General combining ability (GCA) indicated that the parental genotype
Cherpan432 had a high significant GCA for sympodial branch number and actual
boll number, but the parents Aleppo118 and Deir El-Zour22 had the high GCA for
seed cotton yield. This is a clear indication that these parental genotypes had the
largest number of additive genes action, which plays important role in the inheritance
of the above-mentioned traits. The estimation of SCA values showed favorite and
high significant values in many hybrids resulted from parents, which had highly
significant GCA, which means that the gene action type is (additive x additive), and
this refers that these hybrids possessing the largest number of additive genes. High
heritability broad sense refers to importance of genetic variance in the inheritance of
all characters, but heritability in narrow sense values were low in general, indicating
the importance of dominance and epistasis genes in the inheritance. According to
this result it is recommended to follow the cross method for improvement of the
studied traits.
Nine Syrian cotton genotypes i.e. Aleppo 33/1, Aleppo 118, Aleppo 90, Aleppo 40,
Aleppo 124 Rakka5, Deir Al-Zour 22, Line 106 and Rusafa, were used for statistical
and genetic analysis for productivity and some chemical indicators of seeds:
Lint p
ercentage%, cotton weight per plant/g, percent of oil in seeds and pulp, percent
of protein in seeds and pulp, percent of humidity in seeds and pulp, to explore
the potentiality of the genotypes in the studied region, and to establish a program
for the production of cotton and seeds, also to determine the selective indecies to be
used to improve cotton productivity and seed components, using randomized complete
block design with three replications. The experiment was conducted in Salhab
village, Al-Ghab region, Hama governorate, Syria, during 2015 season.
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.
Five populations of faba bean were advanced from F2 to F3 generations by simple
recurrent selection at Terbol research station, International Centre for Agricultural
Research in The Dry Areas (ICARDA), Lebanon. During the growing season summer
201
3. The produced genotypes of selection were evaluated in winter 2013-2014 in order to
estimate the narrow-sense heritability and genetic advance for seed yield, plant height,
pods per plant and 100-seeds weight traits. The results showed that S2012-085 population
was superior in heritability for seed yield (0.5), 100-seed weight (0.5) and pods per plant
(0.5), while the population S2012-133 was recorded the supreme value for plant height
(0.858). The results demonstrate that genetic advance for seed yield trait was varied from
53% to 72.4%, and the highest value of genetic advance for seed yield was belonged to the
population S2012-018 (72.4%). Most of traits under research were recorded a moderate
values of narrow sense heritability accompanied with high values of genetic advance,
indicating to the importance of additive genetic variances related to the total genetic
variances, Consequently, recurrent selection is very important to apply in order to improve
the traits across segregated generations of faba bean.
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.
Seven cotton varieties ( Rakka5, Aleppo133, Aleppo90, Aleppo118 , Aleppo40,
Deir22, Line124) were grown in village Salhab ( Al-Ghab region , Hama) in 2012 using
randomized complete block design with three replications. were used to study estimation
of variance, broad sense heritability, genetic progress and correlation some of their
technological characters (Staple length mm, Length uniformity% , Fiber fineness
%(micronaire), trength Fiber(g/tex), Fiber elongation%, fiber maturity%), that’s to explore
potentials Genotypes in search region and put the numerous selectoral evidence in order to
obtain an additive and fast improve on the technological characters,
The study showed significant differences between in the studied genotypes, for
most of the considered traits.
The study suggested a variation of the values of Heritability, Genetic advance in the
characteristics technological of cotton., the highest Heritability of which was in the Staple
length and than trength Fiber, Fiber elongation , Fiber fineness, fiber maturity, Length
uniformity, characteristics where the inheritance degree reached (0.98, 0.97, 0.89,
0.80,0.75, 0.30) , genetic development% (1.03, 1.35, 0.36, 1.31,1.22, 0.11).
The results also showed a positive significant correlation between Staple length and
trength Fiber (r = 0.901**), also between Fiber elongation with fiber maturity and Length
uniformity ( r = 0.64**, r = 0.422**), and this gives us the area and ease of movement to
put the numerous selectoral evidence in order to improve the technological characters of
cotton.
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.
Seven cotton varieties (Rakka 5, Aleppo133, Aleppo 90, Aleppo 118, Aleppo 40,
Deir 22, and Line124) were used in the study of some quantitative characteristics of cotton
yield and its components (seed cotton weight per boll/g, 100seed/g weight aver
age, lint
percentage %, seed cotton weight per plant/g, total dry matter weight, seed cotton yield per
unit area kg/ha), and physiological qualities (leaf area cm2, leaf area index %). The seven
varieties were grown in Salhab (Al-Ghab region, Hama) in 2012 using randomized
complete block design with three replications.
The study included estimating variance, broad sense heritability, genetic progress,
and genetic correlation between cotton yield and its components, which is to be used in
breeding programs.
This study was carried out at Karahta Station, Dept. of Field Crops
Researches, General Commission for Scientific Agriculture Researches
(GCSAR) Damascus, Syria, during the growing seasons (2009-2010, 2010-2011).
The crosses were grown inatrial us
ing randomized complete block design
(RCBD) with three replicates in order to evaluate number of spikes per plant,
number of grains per spike, thousand kernel weight and grain yield per plant
and estimate some genetic indices: broad scenes heritability (BSH), narrow
scenes heritability (NSH), and genetic advance (GA). Seeds of five populations
of the three evaluated single hybrids were formed by crossing of five inbred
lines. Analysis of variance results showed significant differences among mean
values of the five populations of each cross for all studied traits. The results
revealed that the broad scenes heritability ranged between high and moderate
for the following productivity traits (SP/PL, GR/SP, TKW and GY/P) and it
was (75, 40, 57) (38, 80, 38) (74, 60, 85) and (73, 73, 71) for the three crosses,
respectively. Additive gene action noticed on most traits indicated less selection
cycles to improve these traits.
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.
