COMBINING ABILITY ESTIMATES FOR OIL CONTENT, YIELD COMPONENTS AND FIBRE QUALITY TRAITS IN COTTON (G. hirsutum) USING AN 8 × 8 DIALLEL MATING DESIGN

Eight cotton parental lines(CSH 7106, 3 HS, B 58-1290, 23 ES, 23 K, F 1861, VCH (F) and RS 810) were used in an 8 × 8 diallel mating design to obtain 56 F1 hybrids for combining ability analysis.. The analysis revealed significant general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA)...
