Determination of Combining Ability in Ethiopian Mustard (Brassica carinata) Parents According to Line x Tester Analysis

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the parents and hybrids with superior general and specific combining ability in 20 F1 hybrids including 5 female lines and 4 male testers. In study, 5 advanced lines were used as female parents and 4 registered varieties were used as male parents. The nine parents were crossed to procedure 20 F1 hybrids according to line x tester mating design during 2021-2022 growing season. The 20 crosses and 9 parents were evaluated in randomized complete block design with three replications during 2022-2023 growing season. According to results, it was determined that BC10 and BC22 lines in seed yield, Awassa tester in pod number per plant and seed yield had given the highest general combining ability. However, BC10 x Saryan, BC13 x Awassa and BC21 x Awassa hybrid combinations showed the highest specific combining ability in seed yield. It was stated that both additive and non-additive gene effects were efficacious for yield and some important yield components in the hybrid population studied. The promising hybrid combinations BC10 x Saryan (48.72**), BC21 x Awassa (126.74**) and BC13 x Awassa (127.83**) possessed positive significant heterosis for seed yield.
