| Abstract/Description: | The threshing percentage (TH%) has been suggested as a selection criterion to identify the pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.) lines with improved ability to fill and set grains under water limiting conditions. In this study, eight genetically diverse pearl millet inbreds and their 28 crosses produced by half diallel crossing design were used to examine range in TH%, to evaluate general combining ability (GCA) of parents and specific combining ability (SCA) effects of crosses. The results showed significant variation among parental lines for TH%. The inbreds differed for their GCA effects and crosses for their SCA effects. Parents with high TH% and positive GCA effects were identified. The results of the study revealed that both additive and dominance components, with the preponderance of later, were important in the inheritance of TH%. Heritability in narrow sense was moderate (55%) indicating that selection for high TH% might be effective. |
