摘要
Early maturity and genotype by environment interaction (GEI) have always been challenging concerns for breeders in selecting appropriate parents for breeding programs. The presented study aimed to investigate early maturity and the dimension of gene action, as well as, assess the performance of half-diallel populations using eight advanced sweet corn inbred lines and their 28 F1 hybrids with two commercial checks for maturity and yield-related traits in the spring of 2018 at the Nowshera (plain) and Swat (hilly) areas, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Analysis revealed significant differences among the genotypes for the studied traits over both locations. General combining ability (GCA) effects were significant for all the traits at both the agro-climatic conditions, except 100-kernel weight, with the specific combining ability (SCA) effects relevant for grain yield at both locations. The GCA-SCA ratio for studied traits indicated dominance gene action, which also gained support by higher values of SCA than GCA variances. Based on the results, the identified inbred lines SWTS-1-8 and SODS-1 serve as good general combiners for traits like earliness and grain yield attributes, making them better parents to improve the stated characteristics in sweet corn. However, the F1 hybrids, i.e., NARCCCRI-19 x CCRI-34 at Nowshera and CCRI-34 x SODS-1 at Swat, showed the best specific combiners for maturity. Likewise, F1 hybrids, i.e., SWTS-1-4 x SWTS-1-8 and SWTS-1-8 x CCRIS-34, emerged as desirable for grain yield at Nowshera and Swat, respectively. The inbred lines for the mentioned hybrids can be a source of germplasm improvement, breaking through undesirable linkages in future sweet corn breeding programs.
