Opis

Wheat is an important cereal crop throughout the world and also in Pakistan. A lot of research work is going on to develop high yielding wheat varieties.Line×tester analysis is one of efficient breeding strategies to evaluate combining ability effects of genotypes and also to provide information regarding genetic mechanisms controlling yield and yield related traits.Combining ability analysis would be of great help to identify the most suitable and desirable parental material to breed further to get the hybrids which have the desirable characters for the breeders.The line x tester cross experiment in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was used to estimate the combining ability effects involved in the control and expression of some polygenic traits of economic importance.This book provide information regarding wheat and its yield related traits to improve the yield.
