Gene action and stability parameters for yield and yield components, maturity duration and protein content of CGMS lines, pollen fertility restorers and their hybrids in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.]

Integration of Various Stability Models to Identify High Yielding and Stable Genotypes of Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh]

“…PA 620 (b i =0.98, rank=1; s 2 di =3928.65, rank=1) performs better across all studied environments and hence considered as most stable. The similar kind of results by using Eberhart and Russell (1966) model in different pigeonpea genotypes were also obtained by Reddy et al (2011) and Patel and Tikka (2014).…”

Exploitation of heterosis in hybrids developed using cytoplasmic genetic male sterility (CGMS) system in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh]

“…In relation with days to flowering and days to maturity total seven hybrids were found significant negative standard heterosis, out of which the best three hybrids were CMS GT 288 A x GTR 23, CMS GT 1616 A x GTR 23 and CMS GT 307 A x GTR 18. As observed in the present investigation, several workers have also reported the presence of considerable degree of heterosis for seed yield in pigeonpea, these were Narladkar and Khapre (1994) [17] , Aghav et al (1997) [2] , Hooda et al (1999) [10] , Khorgade et al, (2000) [12] , Pandey and Singh (2002) [19] , Lohithaswa and Dharmaraj (2003) [16] , Phad et al (2003) [24] , Pandey (2004) [18] , Yadav and Singh (2004) [33] , Wankhede et al (2005) [32] , Baskaran and Muthiah (2006) [4] , Ali et al (2007) [3] [22] , Patel and Tikka (2014 b ) [23] , Chethana et al (2015) [7] and Soni et al (2017) [30] .…”
