ThesisItem Open Access HETEROSIS, GENE ACTION AND HERITABILITY IN FORAGE SORGHUM, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench(AAU, Anand, 1978) Kukadia, M. U.; Singhania, D. L.In the present investigation informations on magnitude of heterosis, natire of gene action and estimate of heritability were obtained for forage yield, its components and two forage quality traits ( T.S.S. and leaf-stem ratio) following diallel analysis involving six elite lines in sorghum. Highly significant magnitude of positive heterosis for forage yield and its components in the crosses involving elite lines as parents pointed out that there is a great possibility of exploiting heterosis commercially provided the male-sterile lines with disirable forage characteristics are developed. Combining ability analysis indicated the preponderance of additive and additive x additive type of gene action for days to bloom, number of leaves, panicle length, fifth leaf area and T.S.S. These characters were also observed to be highly heritable. For plant height, flag leaf area and leaf-stem ratio the estimates of variance due to sea were predominant but for forage yield and stem diameter both gca and sea were equally important. Graphical analysis also suggested the additive or partial dominance type of gene action for all the characters except for plant height, flag leaf area and leaf-stem ratio; for the se characters overdominance was observed. The relative position of array points on Vr, Wr graphs indicated that the parental varieties Vidisha and Rio had high accumulation of desirable genes.ThesisItem Open Access COMBINING ABILITY AND CORRELATION STUDIES IN F C V TOBACCO(AAU, Anand, 1974) Patel, A.
