In cotton, heterosis of morphological and yield related traits using line × tester design is very important to identify best performing parents in future cotton breeding program. Therefore, in this study five lines (MNH-1020, MNH-1035, FH-152, CIM-632 and BS-20) were crossed with three testers (CEMB-100, RH-662 and NIAB-5) using line × tester crossing design, which resulted 15 F1

...The study compared local hybrids (Saba, Lalbeni, Tokii, and 1070) and exotic hybrid (White Beauty, imported from Thailand) using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The results revealed that exotic hybrid varieties had a positive significant difference (p<0.001) in the number of seeds per fruit compared to other local hybrids. Local hybrids showed positive significant differences...

... both inbred strains and hybrids, have promising fecundity potential. Moreover, the female pupal body weight is a reliable indicator for fecundity estimation and may be used for estimation of silk seed production. The findings will also be helpful in increasing silk seed production by selecting females based on pupal body weight.

Four hybrids showed positive MPH for the cocoon yield, cocoon weight and shell ratio, while three hybrids showed positive BPH for the cocoon yield, cocoon weight and shell ratio. The cumulative SF values ranged between 2.91 and 5.55. Based on mean EI and cumulative SF values, hy...

In conclusion, the present study highlighted the significant differences in body weight growth and carcass characteristics among different hybrid lines of Japanese quails. The findings contribute to our understanding of the genetic traits and growth potential of these quail hybrids, with Hy5 Imported Quail demonstrating superior performance in carcass characteristics.

...ous studies on paulownia hybrids have demonstrated how the local environment and climatic circumstances significantly affect the growth value of individual clones. This difference is not only related to the development of the growth-related features, but also to the properties of the wood and the possibility of its utilization. Paulownia hybrids and cultivars have a similar appearance, but they react to their environment dif...
