Abstract
Data from crosses between 4 male-sterile lines and 20 inbreds grown under 5 different environments suggested that grain yield was largely governed by non-additive gene action but was accompanied by some significant additive gene action. GCA variance due to the female plants (male-sterile lines 5054A, 5141A, L111A and 126D2A) was significant, whereas that due to the male component was non-significant under all environments (different seasons and/or spacings at Jamnagar, Junagadh and Rajkot). Distortions in the proportions of SCA and GCA variances were attributed to a strong genotype × environment interaction
