Heterosis and combining ability analysis of some quantitative characters in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Nine wheat cultivars were used in a dial/el cross to study (i) The potentiality of heterosis expression for grain yield and some of its components, i.e. heading date, plant height, number of tillers per plant, number of productive tillers per plant, main Culm spike length, number of spikelets per main Culm spike, main Culm spike weight, number of grains per main Culm spike, grain weight per main Culm spike, main Culm spike density, spike length, grain weight per spike, grain yield per plant and 100D-grain weight and (ii) The magnitude of both general and specific combining ability in order to formulate the most efficient breeding procedures…
