Genetic Analysis of Germination and Early Seedling Stage Traits in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Using Half Diallel Mating Desing
A half-diallel mating design was employed, crossing six diverse wheat varieties to generate 15 F1s hybrids. Both the hybrids and parents were assessed under laboratory conditions for traits including root length, shoot length, root and shoot weight, germination rate, germination speed, mean germination time, and seedli...
