Abstract:
The present research programme was carried out at with an objective to estimate the estimates of heterosis for quality traits in QPM. Selected nine inbreds were crossed during Rabi, 2014-15 and the resultant single cross hybrids were evaluated at College farm, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during Kharif, 2015.The results indicated that Standard heterosis for crude protein content ranged from -7.48 (QPM10057-2 X QPM-77) to 14.64 percent (QPM-3-3 X QPM-77) over the check, DHM 117 and it ranged from 12.93 (QPM-10057-2 X QPM-77) to 38.40 (QPM58 X QPM-53-2-2) over the other check, Vivek QPM 9. Standard heterosis for tryptophan content ranged from 39.04 (QPM10-1 X QPM-45) to 69.81 percent (QPM58 X QPM-53-2-2, QPM10057-2 X QPM10-1 and QPM-10-1 X QPM-3-3) over the check, DHM 117 and it ranged from -13.89(QPM-10-1 X QPM-45) to 5.16 (QPM-10057-2 X QPM-10-1 and QPM-10-1 X QPM-3-3) over the other check, Vivek QPM 9.Standard heterosis for lysine content ranged from 34.85 (QPM58 X QPM-39) to 72.68 percent (QPM-10057-2 X QPM-15) over the check, DHM 117 and it ranged from -9.19 (QPM58 X QPM-39) to 16.29 percent (QPM-10057-2 X QPM-15) over the other check, Vivek QPM 9.
