Abstract
Summary: Two diallels were analysed for general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) to study the resistance of crosses between wheat genotypes, advanced to the F5 generation, to Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides. The parents either carried the resistance gene Pch-1 or had different levels of quantitative resistance, one genotype was susceptible. At medium milk-ripening, significant effects were found for GCA and SCA. GCA effects were the more important. Diallel crosses between genotypes, all carrying Pch-1, revealed interactions of the gene with the genotypic background. Some combinations had a higher level of resistance than the best parent. In these populations 'CH-75417' was involved as a parent. Both 'CH-75417' and 'F-210.13.4.42' had significant GCA effects. Crosses between quantitatively resistant parents yielded populations that transgressed both parents. The increased resistance level was associated with 'Cappelle Desprez', distinguished by its high GCA. In some crosses SCA contributed significantly to an increase in resistance level. Selection for resistance within the best advanced populations is recommended since it takes advantage of additive gene action and the high heritability estimates based on ELISA values in plant progenies
