Estimates of Genetic Parameters from Line x Tester Mating Design for Some Quantitative Traits in Upland Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L.
Line x Tester Analysis of G. hirsutum

cross breeding, combining ability estimates, fibre length, Gossypium hirsutumAbstract
Combining abilities of cotton varieties were evaluated using a line x tester design with eight lines and 4 testers. Good performance combination was found between the varieties CRIS-134 and BH-147. The former was a good candidate for fibre length improvement and the latter, a good parent for yield improvement. The specific combin- ing ability suggested that both additive and dominant genes controlled the characters. Hybrid performance per se may be used to predict the parental performance for specific combining ability and thus for hybrid crop development.
