Developing New Grain Sorghum Crosses Using Cytoplasmic Male Sterile Lines [Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench
Abstract: combining ability in grain sorghum. Eight cytoplasmic male sterile lines (CMS-lines) with three Egyptian restorer lines (R-lines), released from Egyptian program at Shandaweel, were crossed to develop twenty-four crosses in summer of 2002 season.
The crosses and their parental lines (24 crosses, 11 parents and the hybrid Shandaweel-6 as check) were evaluated at Shandaweel Agric. Res. Station Sohag, Egypt in summer of 2003 and 2004 seasons.
The combined analysis of variance over the two years, showed highly significant differences among parents and their crosses. In-addition, three CMS-lines (ICSA-88010, ICSA-102; ICSA-89003) and one R-line (Ad.10) had positive highly significant GCA effects for grain yield. Moreover, data showed that seven crosses had positive significantly SCA effects for grain yield / plant and four of these crosses significantly out-yielded the check hybrid Shandaweel-6 (sh-6) i.e., (ATX-407 x Ad.10), (ICSA-88010 x Ad.10), (ICSA-102 x Ad.10) and (ICSA-89003 x Ad.10). These crosses can be tested in a large scale in order to release the best cross as a commercial hybrid.
