Genetic Interpretation

Simulation of two-locus genetic models was used to investigate the effects of gene frequency, non-random association of genes, and epistasis on the interpretation of diallel experiments in self-pollinating crops. It was demonstrated that general combining ability includes effects due to additive, epistatic, and, when gene frequencies are not equal to 0.5, dominance gene action. Similarly, when gene frequencies do not equal 0.5, average heterosis depends upon additive × dominance interaction as well as dominance and dominance × dominance interaction. Negative associations between genes greatly inflate the apparent amount of specific combining ability. These findings cast serious doubt on the utility of diallel analysis for studying the genetics of self-pollinating crops.

The inheritance of capsaicinoid content was studied in five Capsicum pubescens Ruiz & Pav. genotypes using diallel analysis. General combining ability and specific combining ability effects were significant for all capsaicinoids studied, indicating additive and nonadditive gene actions are present. The association of high capsaicinoid contents with high positive general combining ability of the parents also indicates the predominance of additive gene action in capsaicinoid inheritance. Because of the predominant additive gene effect, recurrent selection would be a good breeding method to increase capsaicinoid level in the population studied. Heterosis was observed in hybrids for some of the capsaicinoids, suggesting that F1 hybrids could also be used to increase capsaicinoid content.

Combining ability effects were estimated for grain yield and some other important agronomic traits of maize in a 7×7 diallel analysis excluding reciprocals. The variances for general combining ability (GCA) were found significant for yield, days to pollen shedding, days to silking and ear height while it was found non-significant for plant height and number of kernels/ear. Non-significant general combining ability (GCA) variance for plant height and number of kernels/ear indicates that these two traits were predominantly controlled by non- additive type of gene action. Specific combining ability (SCA) was significant for all the characters except yield and days to silking. Non-significant specific combining ability (SCA) variance for yield and days to silking suggests that these two traits were predominantly controlled by additive type of gene action. Both GCA and SCA variances were found significant only in days to pollen shedding and ear height indicated the presence of additive as well as non additive gene effects for controlling the traits. However, relative magnitude of these variances indicated that additive gene effects were more prominent for all the characters studied except days to silking. Parent BIL95 was the best general combiner for both high yield and number of kernels/ear and parent BML4 for dwarf plant type. Two crosses (BML4× BML36 and BIL114× BIL31) exhibited significant and positive SCA effects for grain yield involved low × average and average × average general combining parents. The range of heterosis expressed by different crosses for grain yield and days to silking was from -65.83 to 21.26 percent and -17.85 to 8.22 percent, respectively.. The better performing three crosses (BIL114×BIL31, BIL138×BIL95 and BIL31×BIL95) can be utilized for developing high yielding hybrid varieties as well as for exploiting hybrid vigour.Bangladesh J.

Array Position

A set of eight corn (Zea mays L.) inbreds was studied in a diallel cross over two years and in a growth room to investigate general and specific combining ability for flowering-time. Diallel analysis of days from emergence to flowering revealed a failure of the joint Wr/Vr regression in one of the years, indicating a lack of agreement with the simple additive-dominance model of inheritance. The array position changed across the years and environments, complicating genetic interpretation. Transforming data of flowering-time to cumulative corn heat units (CHU) to flowering gave a better fit. Joint regression was satisfactory and array position was more consistent across years and environments. Dominance was incomplete for low CHU to flowering. Positive (increasing CHU) and negative, as well as dominant and recessive, alleles were in about equal frequencies. Heritability estimates in the broad- and narrow-sense were high. The estimates of general combining ability were higher than the estimates of specific combining ability in all studies.

Partial Diallel

This study discusses from the theoretical standpoint the analyses of heterosis and combining ability from the partial diallel. Aiming at to investigate the information provided by the genetic parameters, simulation studies were realized. The genetic model adjusted considered one gene, groups of six populations, three degrees of dominance (|d/a| equal to 0.5, 1 and 2, representing partial, complete and overdominance) and random allelic frequencies. For each degree of dominance 50 replications were performed. The model for heterosis analysis does not need to be restricted. The unrestricted model gives the same information as the restricted one. The model for combining ability is restricted. The restrictions of the partial-G2 model of GERALDI and MIRANDA-FILHO do not satisfy the parametric values of the specific combining ability effects. As in the complete diallel analysis, from the theoretical point of view there is no differences between the analysis of heterosis and combining ability. The analysis of differences in gene frequencies among the populations of the two groups is more efficient when it considers the heterosis and not the specific heterosis - or the specific heterosis effects or the effects of specific combining ability - mainly for genes whose frequencies are contrasting in the groups.

Eastern Filbert Blight

Inheritance of resistance to eastern filbert blight, caused by Anisogramma anomala, in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) was evaluated in the progeny of seven cultivars crossed in 12 combinations. The progeny were subjected to inoculation with A. anomala in the greenhouse and in the field. Three disease responses were measured: disease incidence, number of cankers, and proportion of wood diseased. In both the greenhouse and the field, progeny produced by crossing VR6-28 with three susceptible cultivars segregated 1:1 for complete resistance to eastern filbert blight, confirming a previous report that VR6-28 is heterozygous for a single, dominant resistance gene. Histograms of disease responses in progeny of the remaining six parents showed continuous distributions for all crosses examined. Consequently, these parents were analyzed for general and specific combining abilities for each disease response. In the field, general and specific combining ability were both significant (P < 0.05) for all disease responses, with general combining ability having twice the magnitude of specific combining ability. These results suggest these disease responses are controlled by additive gene action in the cultivars examined, with nonadditive gene action being of some importance. Based on general combining ability values, high levels of partial resistance were transmitted by the pollen parents, Gem and Tonda di Giffoni, and the seed parent, Willamette. Heritability of disease incidence, number of cankers, and proportion of wood diseased were calculated to be 0.21, 0.39, and 0.47, respectively, for this set of nine crosses after the first exposure period in the field. This suggests that it will be possible to use partially resistant parents to breed for hazelnuts exhibiting fewer and smaller cankers.

A diallel method was employed in which eight genotypically diverse lines of mungbean were crossed among themselves in all possible combinations excluding reciprocals. The mean square due to general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) were significant for all the characters except mean square due to (SCA) for clusters per plant and seed yield per plant indicating importance of both additive as well as non-additive gene action. The estimates of variances due to specific combining ability were higher than general combining ability for all the traits except days to 50 % flowering, primary branches per plant, clusters per plant and seed yield per plant pointed out to be the preponderance of non-additive gene effects in the expression of these characters. Whereas predictability ratios were greater than the value of 0.5 for days to 50 % flowering, primary branches per plant, clusters per plant and seed yield per plant indicating the predominance of additive gene action for these characters. However, predictability ratio exhibited less than 0.5 values for rest of the characters indicating the predominance of non- additive gene action. The good general combiners for seed yield per plant were BM-4, PDM-139, ML-131, and IPM 99-125. The best specific cross combinations wereRMG-344 x RMG-1045, RMG-1035 x RMG-1045 and BM-4 x PDM-139. showed the highest positive significant SCA effect for seed yield per plant. These cross combinations could be utilized for further use in breeding programme for improvement in yield of mungbean.
