Heterosis, Combining Ability and Yield Prediction in Hybrids From Local Maize Inbred Lines
Studies were conducted to identify and select for superior maize
inbred lines based on their performance per 5e, and to evaluate their
performance and combining ability in all possible crosses. Performance and
heterosis of the single crosses were evaluated at two locations, in Universiti
Pertanian Malaysia, Serdang. Furthermore, some promising double cross
hybrids developed from the potential single crosses were also evaluated for
performance and for comparison with the predicted.
In general , most of the inbred lines exhibited poor performances due
to inbreeding effects after successive generations of selfing, but some were
however, found to have high potential for use in hybrid production.
Hy-58, Hy-59 and Hy-60 were identified as the best performing F1
single-cross hybrids at both locations, with grain yields of 3703.7 kg/ha, 3940.7 kg/ha and 3451.9 kg/ha, respectively, at Field 2; 5659.3 kg/ha,
572 5.9 kg/ha and 5948.1 kg/ha, respectively, at Share Farm; and 468 1.5
kg/ha, 4833.3 kg/ha and 4700.0 kg/ha, respectively, in the locations
combined. In general, hybrids that produced high yields were those formed
between inbred parents that were themselves high yielding and from
genetically diverse population sources.
High heterosis was shown by grain yield, ear weight and grain weight
per ear, moderate heterosis by number of kernels per row, ear height, plant
height and ear length, while low heterosis was shown by ear diameter,
number of kernel rows per ear, 100-grain weight and shelling percentage.
Maturity characters showed negative heterosis, indicating earliness of the
hybrids
Performance and yield predictions in double cross hybrids of tropical grain maize
The use of double cross hybrids in maize was suggested to overcome the problem of seed production related to single
cross resulting from low vigor and yield associated with the inbred parents. Double cross hybrids were known to
perform quite well under a wide range of environmental conditions. As a part of an ongoing grain maize
improvement program at Universiti Putra Malaysia, the best performing inbred lines were selected and crossed to
produce single crosses. These single crosses were further used to produce some double cross hybrids. In this study,
the performance of ten selected double cross hybrids was evaluated at two environments in the research areas of
Universiti Putra Malaysia. The predicted performance of these double cross hybrids was also compared with the
actual, using the method based on the mean values of non.parental single crosses. The best performing double cross hybrids, DC-26 and DC-34 were found to have high yields at both environments as well as in the combined
analysis. DC-26 and DC-34 gave mean grain yields of 6125.0 and 5917.8 kg/ha respectively, at Field 2, 5648.9 and 5676.2 kg/ha respectively, at Share Farm, and 5887.0 and 5797.0 kg/ha respectively, in the combined analysis. From the correlation analysis, the actual and the predicted performances of the double cross hybrids were found to be in good agreement at each location and locations combined (r = 0.38, 0.46 and 0.27, respectively, at Field 2, Share Farm and at the two locations combined), implying that the method used for yield predictions in the crosses was appropriate
COMBINING ABILITY AND HETEROSIS OF CHILLI (Capsicum annuum) RESISTANCE TO ANTHRACNOSE
Anthracnose (Colletotrichum acutatum) is considered as the major disease in chilli. Resistant variety isimportant for controlling infection of disease, since fungicide application and other cultural controlled methodswere not effective. The aim of this research was to estimate combining ability and heterosis of chilli resistanceto anthracnose. Set population of half diallel crosses which involved 6 parents and 15 crosses with C. acutatumisolate BKT 04 were used in this experiment. Mature green fruit were inoculated using a microinjection method.Disease resistant percentage and lesion diameter were used for estimating of combining ability. Disease incidenceand lesion diameter were used for estimating heterosis. General combining ability of IPB C15 was high for diseaseresistance percentage and lesion diameter. Specific combining ability of IPB C15 x IPB C9 was high for diseaseresistance percentage and specific combining ability of IPB C15 x IPB C10 and IPB C4 x IPB C2 were high forlesion diameter. Negative heterosis was expected in disease resistance traits; IPB C15 x IPB C9 had negativeheterosis for disease incidence and IPB C10 x IPB C9 had negative heterosis for lesion diameter
PENAPISAN GENOTIPE CABAl (Capsicum annuum L.) TOLERAN A\u27-UMINIUM BERDASARKAN PERBEDAAN PANJANG AKAR PADA FASE VEGETATIF = THE SCREENING OF CHILI TOLERANT-GENOTYPES TO ALUMINUM BASED ON THE ROOTS LENGTH IN VEGETA TIVE PHA
The aims of the research were to determine- index of AI saturation causing AI stress in chili and to identify chili genotypes tolerance to AI using root bioassay. The research had been carried out in University Farm of IPB in Cikabayan from September 2005 to January 2006. The media was Ultisol from Gajrug (Lebak, Banten) in polybags. Twenty genotypes of chili were tested at different level of AI saturation (0.77, 15.92, 31.96, 60.85 and 83.48%) by adding lime in different treatments (18.33, 13.75, 9.16, 4.58 and 0 g CaCO/kg soil, respectively). The tolerance to aluminum was determined by relative root length (RRL) value, i.e. the root length at AI-stress condition were compared to that without AI-stress condition. Screening results showed that 5 genotypes were potentially tolerant to AI, namely PBC 619, Jatilaba, Cilibangi 5, Jayapura dan Marathon3 genotypes were moderate (Randu, Karo and PBC 473)and 12 genotypes were sensitive to AI (Cilibangi 3, PBC 549, Tit Bulat, Helm, Bengkulu, PBC 065, PBC 593, Tampar, Tit Super, Cilibangi 6,
PBC 584 and Cilibangi 1)
Combining Ability of Several Introduced and Local Chilli Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Genotypes and Heterosis of the Offsprings
The objective of the study was to identify the combining ability of several introduced and local chilli genotypes and heterosis effects of their offsprings, as a result of the hybridisation process. This information will be used for production of hybrid varieties. The study was conducted from November 2006 to May 2007 at Tajur experimental station, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. The fi ve parents with their ten F1 hybrids were evaluated in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The results showed that hybrid IPB C15 x IPB C19 had the highest fruit weight per plant, and hybrid IPB C8 x IPB C19 had the highest heterosis for this character. Hybrid IPB C8 x IPB C15 has highest number of fruits per plant and showed heterosis effects. Crosses among introduced and local genotypes resulted a high heterosis values. Additive variance of weight and number of fruits per plant were greater than the dominant variance. IPB C19 had the best general combining ability for fruit weight per plant character.
