Abstract:The present research was conducted to evaluate heterosis in diallel crosses, determining general and specific combining abilities for yield-related traits and identifying top-performing genotypes for future breeding programs. A field experiment was conducted using selected genotypes (CIM-599, CIM-602, Shahkar, and NS-181) to produce F1 hybrids through frequent pollinations in a diallel fashion. Twelve F1 hybrids and their four parental genotypes were cultivated in a randomized complete block design with two re… Show more
