Heterosis for quality traits in wheat
Author(s): Anjali Joshi, Anil Kumar, Vartika Budhlakoti and Nidhi Bhatt
Abstract: The present investigation was conducted to estimate heterotic effects for four quality traits in F1 hybrids of ten bread wheat genotypes crossed in half diallel fashion. The experiment was undertaken at G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and technology during Rabi season, 2016-17 in randomized complete block design with three replications. Results revealed that based on superior per se performance and high relative heterosis, heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis cross Raj 4419 x PBW 729 was found superior for protein content, UP 2762 x HD 2967 for sedimentation value, PBW 729 x DBW 50 for hectolitre weight and Raj 4419 x NIAW 1594 for phenol colour reaction. Therefore these superior cross combination can be further utilized to produce wheat hybrids with improved quality traits that can be utilized for different purposes.
