Estimation of genetic components and assessing heterosis association with molecular markers in half diallel derived rice hybrids developed with landraces of NE India
DOI:10.37992/2024.1503.085
Abstract
Combining ability and heterosis were estimated in 45 rice hybrids generated by mating 10 parents, comprising both land races and advance breeding lines, in half diallel fashion. Hayman’s graphical analysis showed that all the twelve morphological traits studied had significant positive dominance variance. Narrow sense heritability was high for Days to fifty percentage flowering, Plant height, Panicle length and Test weight (> 30 %), and low for Grain yield per plant. According to the VrWr graph, traits like GYPP, PL, PH, TN and plot yield showed partial dominance, whereas traits like Blast disease index showed overdominance. A significant improvement over check was observed for heterosis and the crosses Mynri x CAUS103, Joha x CAUS107, CAUS 126 x CAUS107 and CAUS103 x CP, exhibited significantly positive standard heterosis for GYPP (>80 %) and PY (>100 %). Genetic distance based on fourteen markers revealed significant positive association with mid parent and better parent heterosis for Spikelet’s per plant, Filled grains per plant, Harvest index, Grain yield per plant, Panicle number and Plot yield. Therefore, it is evident that crosses with larger genetic distance between the parents gave hybrids with higher heterosis.
