Information on the availability of genetic variability and mode of gene action are critically important for choosing effective breeding methods that result in appreciable improvement in performance under drought stress. An investigation in rice (Oryza sativa L.) was carried out subjecting six 'lines' and 15 'testers' crossed in a line × tester mating design and the 90 hybrids along with 21 parents were tested for gene action, combining ability for 19 traits under aerobic condition. Three 'lines' viz., IR79128A (L1), IR79156A (L2) and IR70369A (L4) and three 'testers' viz., IR7925A-428-2-1-1R (T4), KMP -148 (T12) and BI-33 (T15) were identified as the best general combiners. The genotype IR70369A is suggested for conversion to cytoplasmic male sterility with suitable male sterile source. The parents MAS -26, IR 7925A-428-2-1-1R and KMP-105 are recommended for testing their restorability with suitable CMS source.

Abstract


Information on the availability of genetic variability and mode of gene action are critically important for choosing effective breeding methods that result in appreciable improvement in performance under drought stress. An investigation in rice (Oryza sativa L.) was carried out subjecting six 'lines' and 15 'testers' crossed in a line × tester mating design and the 90 hybrids along with 21 parents were tested for gene action, combining ability for 19 traits under aerobic condition. Three 'lines' viz., IR79128A (L1), IR79156A (L2) and IR70369A (L4) and three 'testers' viz., IR7925A-428-2-1-1R (T4), KMP -148 (T12) and BI-33 (T15) were identified as the best general combiners. The genotype IR70369A is suggested for conversion to cytoplasmic male sterility with suitable male sterile source. The parents MAS -26, IR 7925A-428-2-1-1R and KMP-105 are recommended for testing their restorability with suitable CMS source.
