To understand the inheritance of induction rate of the triticale haploid induced by maize pollen,six spring hexaploid triticale lines with different induction rates were crossed according to the complete diallel cross system.General combining ability(GCA),special combining ability(SCA),genetic variance,heritability,and heterosis of the frequency of caryopsis,frequency of embryo formation from caryopsis,frequency of embryo formation,and frequency of embryo germination and regeneration were investigated. The result suggested that the GCA value of the frequency of caryopsis,frequency of embryo formation from caryopsis,frequency of embryo formation and frequency of embryo germination and regeneration were all significantly different. The GCA value of the triticale lines,the 08chunqu61 and 08chunjian25,were higher for the frequency of caryopsis,and the GCA value of the line 08chunjian10 was the highest among the triticale lines for the frequency of embryo.The SCA value of the frequency of caryopsis,frequency of embryo formation from caryopses,frequency of embryo formation and frequency of embryo germination and regeneration were significantly different,and the difference of SCA value is bigger between the different crosses for the same trait. The SCA variance ranged from -14.23 to 36.21,from -20.32 to 25.65,from -9.58 to 18.11 and from -0.99 to 5.31 for the frequencies of caryopsis,embryo formation,embryo formation from caryopsis and embryo germination and regeneration,respectively. The VM/VP were all the highest among the four variance ratios,and the residual were all higher than VA/VP and VD/VP for all the four frequencies. The heterosis over better parent(Hbp) were all negative and significant for the frequency of embryo formation from caryopsis,frequency of embryo formation and frequency of embryo germination and regeneration,and the variances of Hbp and the heterosis over mid-parent(Hmp) were all biggest for all the crosses in this study. The narrow heritability of the four frequencies were all more than 40%,and the N heritability of frequency of embryo germination and regeneration is 67%,which was the highest. And the broad heritability of,frequency of embryo production,frequency of embryo formation from caryopsis and frequency of embryo germination and regeneration is 41.46%,59.52% and 66.80%,respectively,and the differences were all significant. We may improve the triticale haploid induction efficiency by maize pollen for the better F1 based on the mother parent frequencies of the four traits and GCA. |
