INHERITANCE OF YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS IN COTTON (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Mehmet MERT' (Z), Oktay GENÇER, Yaşar AKIŞCAN', Kenan BOYACI

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the inheritance of yield and yield components in cotton. Crosses between Sure Grow 125 and PAUM 401 (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in 2000, and backcrosses between F, and parents (Sure Grow 125 and PAUM 401) in 2001 were made under field conditions at Çukurova University, Cotton Research and Application Center, Adana. Four generations (F1, F2, B1, and B2, in which B, represents a backcross between F, and Sure Grow 125 and B2 represents a backcross between F, and PAUM 401), and parents were tested at the same center in 2002. Generation mean analysis was used to estimate the type of gene action determining yield and yield components. It was concluded that additive, dominance and epistatic gene effects were responsible for the inheritance of lint yield, boll number per plant and lint percentage whereas only dominance effects were involved in inheritance of seed cotton weight per boll and 100 seed weight.

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.
