Stability Analysis Over Different Environments in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)

Background: Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an important oilseed crop whose productivity is strongly influenced by environmental variation and genotype × environment interaction. Identification of stable genotypes is therefore essential for improving yield consistency across diverse production conditions. Aim: The study...

Morphological Characterization and Character Association Studies in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oilseed crop, and the identification of genetically diverse and superior germplasm is essential for its improvement. The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate genetic variability, characterise sunflower germplasm using Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability (D...

Combining Ability and Gene Action for Yield and Component Traits in Green Gram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] Using Line × Tester Analysis

Background: Green gram (Vigna radiata L.) is an important short-duration pulse crop, and its improvement requires reliable information on parental combining ability and the gene action governing yield-related traits. Aims: The study aims to assess combining ability and gene action for agronomic traits using a line × te...

Genetic Analysis of Seed Yield and Component Traits through Line × Tester Analysis in Linseed

Aims: The study aims to identify the best general and specific combiners for seed yield and associated traits, and to determine the nature of gene action governing these traits in linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) through a Line × Tester analysis. Study Design: Line × Tester mating design. Place and Duration of Study: O...

Assessment of Combining Ability and Gene Action for Yield and Yield-contributing Traits in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

Aims: To evaluate combining ability, determine the nature of gene action governing yield and yield-contributing traits, and identify superior parents and promising hybrid combinations in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).
