Estimation of standard heterosis over environments for fruit yield and its attributes in Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] [PDF]
International Journal of Chemical Studies, 2020 Heterosis breeding has proven to be a potential method of increasing yield in the crops. It enables early identification of superior/potential crosses which is necessary to handle the material in advance generations, effectively and gainfully. An experiment was conducted to evaluate 35 genotypes in four different environments at Navsari Agricultural ...

Evaluation of hybrids for heterosis breeding in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2016 The 8x8 half-diallel sesame hybrids were evaluated for their performance of yield and component traits. Average heterosis was the highest for primary branches followed by seed yield, biological yield and plant height. Substantial amount of, better parent

Study of heterosis for grain yield and its components in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.)
Environment Conservation Journal, 2023 The extent of wheat heterosis was determined by synthesizing 45 hybrids in a 10×10 diallel method, eliminating reciprocals, to determine how widespread it is.

Studies of standard heterosis for quantitative traitsin eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, 2016 Standard heterosis has been amply exploited in developing hybrids in eggplant by increasing commercial value of them. In an experiment, fifteen parents (12 lines and 3 testers) were selected on the basis of divergence and mated them in line x tester design. Hybrids and parents rose to measured heterosis for different quantitative traits.

International Journal of Plant & Soil Science, 2022 Maize plays an indispensable role in meeting high food demand. It is globally one of the most widely adopted and cultivated crops. Hybrid development from fixed inbred lines is one of the tactics to boost maize production. The national average maize yield in Ethiopia is low and thus, selection of promising germplasm, knowledge of combining ability, and

Estimation of Standard Heterosis for Yield and its Component Traits in Hybrid Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences, 2023 A field experiment was conducted in randomized block design in rice crop to estimate standard heterosis for yield and its component traits in hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.)”. 6 hybrids of rice along with 3 popular standard check varieties namely IR64, MTU1010, sonum were evaluated for estimation of standard heterosis for grain yield and its component ...

Evaluation for heterosis in okra (Abelmoschusesculentus L. Moench)
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2019 The present investigation was conducted in okra to study the magnitude of heterosis and to identify potential parents and superior cross combinations for twelve plant traits including fruit yield and its component traits. Forty five F1s were developed by
