Heterosis for seed and seedling traits in papaya
Indian Journal of Horticulture(2022)
摘要
The current study was aimed to explore the heterosis expressed in the seed and seedlings of 36 papaya hybrids originating from the 6 inbred lines. The results revealed the manifestation of heterosis, occurred in the seed and seedling stage of papaya. The cross combinations, P-9-5 × P-7-2, P-9-12 × PN and PN × P-9-5 exhibited positive average heterosis and heterobeltiosis for physical seed traits. The genotypes, P-9-5, P-9-12, P-9-5 × P-9-12 and P-9-12 × P-9-5 were observed with positive mid-parent heterosis and heterobeltiosis for the seedling traits. The hybrid, P-7-9 × PN and PS3 × P-7-9 showed positive average heterosis (5.89% and 9.91%) and heterobeltiosis (3.41% and 2.09%) for germination percentage, respectively. Whereas in case of seedling length and weight (fresh and dry), the hybrid combination, P-9-5 × P-9-12 exhibited the positive heterosis. The heterosis effect estimated helped us to identify the superior performing hybrids like, PN × P-7-2, PN × P-9-5, P-7-2 × PN, P-7-2 × P-7-9, P-7-9 × P-9-5, P-9-5 × P-7-2, P-9-5 × P-9-12, P-9-12 × PN, P-9-12 × P-7-2, P-9-12 × P-95and PS3 × P-7-9, in the initial stage of seedling development.
