Abstract

This study was conducted to identify desirable wheat germplasm for superior hybrid cross combinations through 1) identifying the best parents with high combining ability (CA) and 2) estimating heterosis effects. Two thermo[1]photo-sensitive-genic-male-sterile lines (K456s and K78s) as female parents and 60 restorer lines as males were crossed according to line × tester hybridization method. The observed variation for most of the nine studied characters while restorers 2016Y2-2776 and 2016Y2- 4117 had the highest in five characters. The crosses K78s/R31 and K456s/R2 had highest positive SCA values in five and six characters, respectively. The crosses K78s/R43 and K456s/R21 had the overall highest significant positive heterosis estimates for the best cross with respect to yield plant-1and has the potential for utilization in hybrid wheat breeding program.

Effects of Different Water Stress Levels on Biomass Yield and Agronomic Traits of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Varieties under Semi-Arid Conditio

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the Wielkopolska region at the Gorzyń Research Station, Poland (52.34°N, 15.54°E) in Central Europe. The study was conducted over a 3-year period (2017, 2018, 2019) as a two-factorial design with four replications in the RCBD. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the cultivar (‘Bolero’, ‘Tytan’) and the inoculation (Nitragina–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora I–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora II–soil inoculation, HiStick® Lupin–seeds inoculation) on plant development, seeds chemical composition and yielding of narrow-leaved lupin. The weather conditions and experimental factors significantly influenced on productivity of narrow-leaved lupin ‘Tytan’. Drought during the growing season reduced seeds and protein yields. After inoculation of HiStck the seeds yield was significantly greater by 12.4% (p < 0.01) and the protein yield after application of Nitroflora I or HiStick by 13.9% (p < 0.01) and 19.2% (p < 0.01), respectively. Correlation coefficients showed strong relations between number of pods and seeds per plant in both cultivars regardless of the inoculation variant, however the strongest relations in both cultivar were proved on HiStick treatment.
