Genetic variance, heritability, correlation and path coefficient analysis in some Bread Wheat Crosses (Triticum aestivum L.)


Abstract in English

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.
