12. TITLES AND ABSTRACTS OF:

- Ph. D. Thesis: Estimation of some genetic parameters in breeding of maize

hybrids.

Abstract

The 10 x 10 local inbred lines diallel cross with no reciprocals was set up in a

randomized complete block design with three replications. The objective of this

study was to asses the heterosis percentage, general and specific combining

abilities (GCA & SCA), applying Griffing’s second method – model I (fixed),

additive and non additive genetic variance (2 A & 2 D), the degree of dominance

(ă), the broad and narrow sense heritability, and the simple correlation among

characters under investigation. The 50% tasseling and silking dates, plant and ear

height, no. of leaves, total leaf area, no. of ears per plant, no. of rows per ear,

kernels per row, weight of 300 kernels, and grain yield per plant were studied.

Statistical analyses and genetic parameters for each season and combined analysis

were used.

The results revealed high significant differences among the different genotypes

(parents and their crosses) under investigation except the number of kernels per

row in fall 1995, this result reflected the genetic variation among genotypes.

However, significant differences between years were found for all characters

except the no. of ears per plant and the no. of kernels per row. The average

performance of the genotypes for the two fall seasons, and the genotype –

environment interactions (G x E) showed the significant effects for all

characters. Significant heterotic patterns were found for all characters except the

total leaf area. This result could be explained due to partial – complete, and over

dominance. The GCA and SCA effects for each season and for the GE interactions

were significant for all characters except for ear height (GCA effect) and no. of

ears per plant (SCA effect) in fall 1995. However, no significant effect for the no.

of rows per ear as average of fall 1994 and 1995 was found for the SCA effects.

The proportion of GCA/ (GCA + SCA) mean squares for each season was high.

While, low values were found in the combined analysis for the weight of 300

kernels in fall 1994, and the ear height in fall 1995.

The degree of dominance was larger than one for all characters. This result

revealed over dominance gene action.

The MAR-93, MAS-95, MUH-95, MAL-197 inbred lines were the most

exceeded in their combining ability for the most characters under investigation.

The single cross hybrids (MAR-93 x MAS-95, MUH-95 x PYA-19, MAL-197 x

PYA-19) gave the highest grain yield per plant, in addition to the other desirable

agronomic characters.

The results indicated that it would be beneficial to use local inbred lines for

commercial hybrid seed production, and/ or synthetic varieties.

- M. Sc. Thesis: Effect of plant density, and planting date on yield, yield

components and quality of Popcorn “Zea Mays L. everta”.

Abstract

An experiment was conducted in a silt clay loam soil at the College of

Agriculture Experiment Station, Abu-Ghraib; Baghdad in spring and autumn

seasons of 1986. The main objective was to find out the effect of plant density and

planting date together with the effect of planting dates on yield, yield components,

and other characters with emphasis on popping volume of Popcorn “Zea mays L.

everta” variety Shamia Babil, using a split plot in a randomized complete block

design with four replications. Experimental plot sizes were 3 x 5 m. Planting dates

(1, 16, 31 of March and 15 of April for the spring season and 1, 16, 31 of July and

15 of August for the autumn season) were taken as the main treatment. Whereas,

plant densities (53 333, 66 666, and 88 888 plant/ha) were presented the sub

treatments.

Data reported for the following characters: mid sillking, plant and ear height,

leaf area index (LAI), grain yield, yield components and popping volume was

analyzed independently for each character and each season using the analysis of

variance method. Results and conclusions that could be drawn from this study were

summarized as follows:

1. The best plant density was 88 888 plant/ ha. In both seasons. While, the

best planting dates were the mid of March and the late of July in spring

and autumn seasons, respectively.

2. The best plant densities significantly affected all the characters studied

except mid silking, ear number, ear height, no. of rows per ear, weight of

300 kernels and popping volume in spring season. However, plant density

significantly affected the no. of ears per plant, no. of rows per ear, LAI,

and grain yield.

3. Planting dates significantly affected all the characters under investigation

with the exception of ear length in spring and weight of 300 kernels in

autumn season.

4. No significant interaction was found between plant densities and planting

dates for all characters except grain yield, % protein content, and LAI in

spring only.

5. Planting on the 1st of March with 66 666 plant/ ha. gave the highest

popping volume in comparison with all other dates and plant densities.
