Using genomic selection to examine subgenome dominance and epistasis in allopolyploid strawberry
Abstract Allopolyploids are organisms that possess multiple sets of chromosomes derived from distinct ancestral species, resulting in multiple subgenomes. Many important crops are allopolyploid, including wheat (Triticum aestivum), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), coffee (Coffea arabica), and strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa).

Diallel analysis in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) for water stress tolerance
Information about combining ability is important in determining breeding strategies. The objective of this study was to estimate the general (GCA) and specific (SCA) combining abilities among twenty cotton hybrid combinations submitted to water stress ...

Abstract The native, perennial shrub American hazelnut (Corylus americana) is cultivated in the US Midwest for its significant ecological benefits, as well as its high‐value nut crop. Genetic improvement of perennial crops involves long‐term breeding efforts, and benefits from the use of genetic data in selection to reduce breeding cycle time.

Strain comparisons in aquaculture species: a manual [PDF]
When different strains or breeds of a particular species are available, the best choice is seldom immediately obvious for producers. Scientists are also interested in the relative performance of different strains because it provides a basis for ...

Combining abilities and heterotic groups in Pisum sativum L. [PDF]
The objective of this research was to investigate the use of heterosis and estimates of the general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for yield and the yield-related traits for identifying suitable parents and forming heterotic
