Abstract

The present investigation was undertaken to study the combining ability and nature of gene action for yield and yield contributing traits in crosses involving winter and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes. Ten winter wheat lines used as females were crossed with three elite spring wheat genotypes used as male in Line x Tester fashion and grown in randomised block design with three replications. Four winter wheat lines viz., Drina NS 720, China 84-40022, WW-7 and Nordresprez were good general combiners for grain yield and three other yield contributing traits. Among the testers, PBW 343 and Raj 3765 were the best general combiners for grain yield and other yield contributing traits. The sca variance was observed to be more important for all the traits studied. Cross combinations WW-7 x Raj 3765, Drina NS 720 x PBW 343, Nordresprez x PBW 343, China 84-40022 x PBW 343 and Vir 453-47 x PBW 343 were found to show significant positive sca effect for grain yield and yield contributing traits.
