Combining Ability for Seed Characteristics in Bromus Inermis Leyss
1959
Nielson, A. K. | Kalton, R. R.
SynopsisExtensive variation and segregation for combining ability for seed yield, panicle number, fertility, and seed weight were observed. One generation of inbreeding had no effect on combining ability for seed yield or weight, but decreased fertility somewhat. Panicle number and fertility were the primary components of seed yield, while seed weight was unrelated to these. Heritability of combining ability for fertility and seed weight was relatively high, but only moderate for seed yield and panicle number. Forage and seed yield were positively correlated but predictive value was low.
