DIALLEL ANALYSIS OF EAR LENGTH IN SPRING TRITICALE
There was developed a computer program for calculating the combining ability of spring triticale varieties and for carrying out the genetic analysis of parent material as to quantitative traits. In order to eliminate probable aneuploids of the crop, a need for a great number of repetitions in experimenting was demonstrated. The program was tested on hybrids experimentally obtained as a result of crossing between four spring triticale varieties according to a complete diallel scheme. A variety being promising one for breeding for ear length was revealed.
