The evaluation of heterosis for grain yield, total leaf area and malting quality in 21 spring barley crosses

Creator:

Carleton, A. E. (Albert Eugene), 1940-

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of heterosis in three complex traits in barley and to investigate the concept of component interaction as a means of producing heterosis. The complex traits were grain yield, total leaf area, and malting quality. Seven varieties of spring barley were...

An examination of seedling vigor and the effects of genetic diversity on response to heterosis in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.)

Creator:

Moutray, Jim B., 1939-

Abstract:

Response to heterosis for plant height, anthesis date, panicle number, seed yield, and fall vigor rating was determined in a tall. fescue group selected for diverse morphology, origin, and anthesis date. Parents, single-cross progeny (SX), and first generation selfed progeny (S₁) were included in the study. Each experimental plot consisted...
