Combining ability analysis for grain filling duration and yield traits in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.)
A diallel analysis of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell) parents (n = 11) and their F1 (n = 55) and F2 (n = 55) offspring was carried out for the following four traits: grain filling duration (GFD), GFD for growing degree days (GDD), 1000 seed weight and seed yield per plant. Analysis of varianc...
