Genetic analysis for grain filling duration in wheat using joint segregation analysis

Results suggested that due to its maximum heritability, early selection would be feasible in cross Hashim-08 × LU-26, while due to low heritability and variation in cross Parula × Blue Silver, delayed selection will be effective. Yield improvement based on duration of grain filling could be done through selection in later generations until the accumulation of the maximum favorable additive genes is achieved.
