ABSTRACT The current pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) experiments, arranged in a randomized complete block design, were carried out in Sudan during the rainy season of 2006 at two locations (Wad Medani and Elgedarif). The hybridization plan consisted of four male and 15 female parents giving 60 crosses following line x tester arrangement. The crosses and their parents were sown on the 28th of July at Wad Medani and the 17th of July at Elgedarif. The traits measured were days to 50% flowering, plant height, stover, panicle, biomass and grain yields. The analysis of variance showed significant differences among the parents and crosses at both locations. Combining ability analysis showed that non-additive gene effects were important for inheritance of stover, panicle, biomass and grain yields. This result indicates that dominance and epistatic interactions seemed to be predominant for these characters, whereas additive gene effects were observed for days to 50% flowering and plant height, indicating that inheritance of these traits was due to GCA effects and were largely controlled by additive gene action in the base material. Combining ability analysis showed that parents, ICMA97333, ICMA96222, Baladi yellow, SADC togo and Topcross P1 were good combiners for high grain yield as well as for most of the other traits measured in this study. Assessment of SCA effects for grain yield at Wad Medani revealed that genotype Baldai white x ICMA97333 had maximum positive SCA effects and high per se performance followed by SADC togo x ICMA96222, while at Elgedarif Topcross x ICMA99111 had the highest positive SCA effects followed by ICMV155 x Y.D. Eldie, A.E.S. Ibrahim & A.M. Ali
ICMA99111. However, ICMV155 x ICMA99111 exhibited the highest SCA in combined analysis across sites. The present study suggested hybrids Dembi yellow x ICMA97333 and SADC togo x ICMA96222 demonstrated the potential for grain yield, Baladi yellow x ICMA97333 and ICMV155 x ICMA99111 for stover and grain yields under the heavy clay plains of central Sudan. However, their use in western Sudan would need further multilocation trials to verify their yield potential under those sandy soils and erratic rainfall environments.
INTRODUCTION The breeding method to be adopted for improvement of a crop depends primarily on the nature of gene action involved in the expression of quantitative traits of economic importance. Combining ability in crops leads to identification of parents with general combining ability (GCA) effects and in locating cross combinations, showing high specific combining ability
(SCA) effects. This in turn helps in choosing the parents to be included in hybridization or population breeding program (Mathur and Mathur, 1983). Studies by Pokhriyal et al. (1974) in pearl millet revealed that information on the relative amount of GCA and SCA variances is of great value in the development of efficient breeding programs. They observed that the ratio of GCA variances to SCA variances was less than one in respect to grain yield, number of tillers and grains per unit area. This implies that for influencing these characters, the nature of gene action should be non-additive in nature; other characters like ear length, ear girth, days to flowering and plant height were primarily controlled by additive gene action. Combining ability for 10 agronomic characters was estimated from data derived from line x tester analysis involving 18 fodder pearl millet genotypes and 5 Napier grass accessions by Suthamathi and Dorairaj (1997).They found that SCA variances were higher than GCA variances for all characters studied. Mathur and Mathur (1983) studied line x tester analysis involving 30 male parents crossed to 5 male-sterile lines of pearl millet grown at two locations. Their results suggested that both general and specific combining abilities were important in the expression of yield and its Combining ability analysis for grain yield of pearl millet
components. However, the magnitude of non-additive component was higher than that of the additive component for all the characters studied. A breeding methodology that can exploit both additive and non-additive genetic effects would be the most effective in attaining maximum improvement in yield and its components in pearl millet. The objectives of this study were to estimate the general combining ability of the parents and their specific combining ability in hybrids combinations considered for development of high yielding cultivars, and to compare the grain yield of adapted landraces and their hybrids made by topcrossing them on inbred male-sterile lines.
MATERIALS AND METHODS Four A lines of pearl millet (ICMA 91222, ICMA 96222, ICMA 97333, and ICMA 99111) were introduced from the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), India, and used as female parents in the hybridization process to produce topcross hybrids following line x tester analysis. The hybridization consisted of 15 open-pollinated varieties including five local varieties SADC long, SADC togo, MCNELC, MCSRC and Topcross P1, two released varieties Ugandi and ICMV 221 plus one exotic variety ICMV 155, together with seven landraces Bayouda, Baladi white, Baladi yellow, Dembi yellow, Omgarfa, Sudan Đż and Ashana which were used as male parents. Sixty topcross hybrids were generated during July 2005 at Wad Medani. The 60 topcross hybrids together with their19 parents were evaluated during 2006/2007 rainy season at two environmentally different locations in Sudan, viz. Wad Medani (Gezira Research Station Farm, Agricultural Research Corporation) and Elgedarif Research Station. Sowing dates were the 28th of July 2006 at Wad Medani and 17th of July 2006 at Elgedarif. In both locations, the experiments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Planting was done manually in plots at the rate of 3-4 seeds per hole with the spacing of 20 x 80 cm on ridges. Thinning was carried out twice after 2 and 4 weeks from sowing or when needed to obtain a final stand of a single Y.D. Eldie, A.E.S. Ibrahim & A.M. Ali
plant per hole. Nitrogen fertilizer was applied in the form of urea a month after planting at the rate of 40 N kg/ha. At Wad Medani, the experiment was conducted under rain supplemented with irrigation whereas, at Elgedarif the experiment was conducted under rain only. The total plot size is equal to 16 m2. At full maturity, the central two rows of each plot (excluding the boarders and 0.5 m from each end), with a net area of 6.4 m2, was harvested manually in both experiments. Measurements were taken on the following parameters: Days to 50% flowering (DF) recorded on plot basis and counted from the date of planting until 50% of the plants had fully exerted heads. Plant height (PH) was measured before harvesting, from soil surface to the top of primary panicle (average of 5 plants/plot). Panicle yield (PY) was measured as mass of panicles from 4 m length of the two central rows (g/6.4 m2). Stover yield (SY), which was the vegetative dry matter at maturity, measured from 4 m length of the two central rows (g/6.4 m2). Biomass yield (BY) was measured panicle yield plus stover yield (g/6.4 m2).Grain yield (GY) t\ha was measured as weight of grain from 4 m length of the two central rows (g/6.4 m2). Statistical analyses were carried out using PLABSTAT, a software for statistical analysis of plant breeding experiments version 3Awin (Utz, 2005). The effects of testers and male-sterile lines and their interactions were determined following the line x tester analysis of (Kempthorne, 1957). General and specific combining abilities for the studied traits were estimated according to Singh and Chaudhary (1985).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Analysis of variance indicated significant variation among parents and hybrids for the studied traits indicating the diversity in the material tested (Table 1). Though the interaction effects of location with lines and with testers were not significant for all the characters measured, their second degree interactions (location x lines x testers) were highly significant except for stover and biomass yield (Table 2). Thus, lines as well as testers varied in their performance with locations.

Combining ability analysis The ratio of GCA: SCA mean variances for plant height and days to 50% flowering were more than one, indicating that inheritance of these traits was due to GCA effects and was largely controlled by additive gene action in the base material (Table 2). Similar trends were observed by Gupta (1978) and Govila et al. (1978) who concluded that these traits were controlled by additive gene action. The ratio of GCA: SCA for stover, panicle, biomass and grain yield were less than one, suggesting that the inheritance of these traits was due to non-additive gene action. This result indicates that dominance and epistatic interactions seemed to be predominant for these characters and therefore heterosis breeding may be gratifying. This was supported by the findings of Sahane et al. (1995) and Suthamathi and Dorairaj (1997).

However, Aglan (1994) reported that both additive and non additive gene effects were found to be of equal importance in determining the expression of plant height, days to maturity, 1000seed weight and grain yield/ha in pearl millet. The present study showed the importance of non additive gene action for stover, panicle yield, biomass and grain yield as shown by the low ratio of GCA: SCA (0.50-0.77) at Wad Medani, Elgedarif as well as the combined analysis (Table 2). The variations in the estimates of GCA effects for measured traits in the two locations were small and hence the estimates of GCA effects for the combined analysis of the two locations were presented in Table 3. Parents that gave negative estimates of GCA effects for time to 50% flowering manifested earliness. ICMV221 was the best combiner for earliness followed by Topcross P1, ICMA99111 and Ugandi. These parents transmit this trait to their crosses since the early crosses with

Parental populations that contributed to lateness were Baladi white, ICMA96222, Omgarfa and Sudan Π since they gave the highest positive significant estimates of GCA effects (Table 3).The best combiners for shortness were ICMA91222, Ashana, ICMV221, Bayouda and Baladi yellow (Table 3).

With regard to SCA, the hybrid Baladi white x ICMA97333 had the highest positive SCA effects for grain yield followed by ICMV221 x ICMA91222 and SADC togo x ICMA97333 at Wad Medani, whereas at Elgedarif hybrids Topcross P1 x ICMA99111, Baladi yellow x ICMA97333, Dembi yellow x ICMA97333, ICMV155 x ICMA99111 and Baladi white x
ICMA97333 showed the highest SCA effects. However, in combined analysis, hybrid ICMV155 x ICMA99111followed by ICMV221 x ICMA91222, Baladi yellow x ICMA97333, Dembi yellow x ICMA97333 and SADC togo x ICMA96222 (Table 4). The best crosses for grain yield at Wad Medani as well as in combined analysis were ICMV221 x ICMA91222 and SADC togo x ICMA96222, whereas the best combinations at Elgedarif and in combined analysis were Dembi yellow x ICMA97333, ICMV155 x ICMA99111 and Baladi yellow x ICMA97333. The SCA effects obtained by the best crosses can be attributed to the interaction of good combiners contributing favorable genes for per se performance, thus signifying the possible use of these crosses in exploiting heterosis. Mathur and Mathur (1983), Hapase et al. (1986) and Khairwal et al. (1987) reported significant SCA effects in F1 hybrids of pearl millet for yield and several other yield components. The results of this study showed that parents Baladi yellow, SADC togo and Topcross P1 might be used in recurrent selection to incorporate its desirable characters. The crosses ICMV221 x ICMA91222, SADC togo x ICMA96222, ICMV155 x ICMA99111and Baladi yellow x ICMA97333 might reasonably be exploited for improvement of pearl millet grain yield and its components. Traits association The coefficient of rank correlations of general combining ability (GCA) between agronomic traits of pearl millet parents across the two locations were presented in Table 5. Grain yield was positively correlated with biomass and significantly positively, correlated with stover and panicle yields. Grain yield was negatively and weakly correlated with time to flowering. Highly significant positive correlation was observed between plant height and late flowering. This result agreed with the results obtained by Ali (2002) who found strong association between late Combining ability analysis for grain yield of pearl millet

The same trend was shown by biological and panicle yields. Thus, for forage yield in pearl millet, tall, late flowering plants are preferable. These results were supported by the results of Aglan (1994) and Totok et al. (1998). Table 5.

In conclusion the current study suggested that hybrids Dembi yellow x ICMA97333 and SADC togo x ICMA96222 demonstrated the potential for high grain yield while Baladi yellow x ICMA97333 and ICMV155 + CMA99111 for both stover and grain yields under the heavy clay plains of central Sudan. However, their use in western Sudan would need further multiplication trails to verify their yield potential under those sandy soils and erratic rainfall environments.
