2.1.3. Evaluation of parental effects on the performance
of unselected progeny lines evaluated under lowland
stress at Raipur
To evaluate the effect of the tolerance level of parents on
the yield of unselected breeding lines under drought stress,
250 random F3:4 lines coming from 10 crosses (25 random
lines from each cross) among parents with different levels of
drought tolerance was evaluated under lowland drought-stress
and non-stress conditions along with the parents involved in
the crosses.
