DIALLEL ANALYSIS OF GROWTH TRAITS IN MICE [PDF]
Genetics, 1975 ABSTRACT Two replications of a complete diallel cross experiment were performed among four partially inbred lines of mice. These inbred lines originated from a random-bred ICR strain and were produced by 12 generations of full sibbing (F ≃ 92%). Individual body weight was recorded for each animal at 12, 21, 42 and 56 days of age.

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.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.

Accumulating alleles of resistance to white mold in common beans over 13 recurrent selection cycles
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, is one of the main diseases affecting common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) crops. Breeding for resistance to this pathogen is challenging because it is a polygenic trait with low heritability, controlled by many genes, each contributing small to moderate effects. Recurrent selection

Estimation of genetic components, correlation and path coefficient in some bread wheat genotypes (Triticum aestivum L.). [PDF]
Minia Journal of Agricultural Research and DevelopmentSix cultivars of bread wheat were used in a half diallel during the three successive seasons of2020/2021, 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 to study some genetic components, correlations and pathcoefficients.

Optimizing population simulations to accurately parallel empirical data for digital breeding
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract The use of computational and data‐driven approaches to accelerate and optimize breeding programs is becoming common practice among plant breeders. Simulations allow breeders to evaluate potential changes in breeding schemes in a time‐ and cost‐efficient manner.

Heterosis for yield and physiological traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) [PDF]
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2015 Chickpea being a highly self pollinated crop, the scope for exploitation of hybrid vigour will depend on the direction and magnitude of heterosis, biological feasibility and the type of gene action involved.

Unlocking Kenya’s Pyrethrum Potential: A Breeding Review for a Competitive Future
Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium) is a strategically important industrial crop underpinning the world supply of organic pesticides. Despite Kenya’s past dominance in global pyrethrum production, the genetic improvement of the crop has lagged. This has led to having varieties of low yields, variable pyrethrin content, susceptibility to biotic and ...

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 Crop establishment in carrot (Daucus carota L.) is limited by slow seedling growth and delayed canopy closure, resulting in high management costs for weed control. Varieties with improved growth habit (i.e., larger canopy and increased shoot biomass) may

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study explored the variation in taro leaf blight disease (TLBD) in Colocasia esculenta by examining five parent genotypes and their corresponding 20 single‐cross hybrids. A full diallel crossing design was employed and assessed under both naturally occurring field infections and controlled artificial inoculations.
