Genetic diversity, population structure and linkage disequilibrium in tropical maize (Zea mays L.) germplasm adapted to South Brazil

open access: yesPlant Breeding, Volume 144, Issue 4, Page 549-558, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Genetic diversity studies and molecular characterization offer crucial insights into preserving germplasm and maximizing its utility effectively. Therefore, the present study aimed to verify the genetic diversity, population structure and linkage disequilibrium in a set of maize (Zea mays L.) germplasm adapted to South Brazil composed of 351 ...

A diallel model with repeatability information applied in an elephant grass breeding program [PDF]

open access: yesScientia Agricola
Elephant grass is an allogamous perennial forage crop with asexual propagation, allowing plant breeders to explore heterosis and develop hybrids. However, selecting parents for diallel crossing schemes is a major hurdle in the development of hybrids.

Efficiency of circulant diallels as compared to complete diallels for the estimation of combining ability. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The efficiency of circulant and complete diallels was compared regarding the estimation of the general (GCA) and specific (SCA) combining ability. Maize population ear yield data from a 28 x 28 diallel were used.

Genetic parameters and indirect selection of elite lines for efficiency in symbiotic nitrogen fixation in black common bean

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 65, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate whether managing populations and progenies of black common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in exclusive symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) systems, which refer to environments where the primary nitrogen source in the soil is the SNF, is efficient for selecting lines with high symbiotic performance, using grain yield as

Combining ability studies for yield and contributing traits in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The present investigation was carried out to identify desirable parents and F1 hybrids in okra by involving eight diverse parents in a diallel mating design excluding reciprocals.

Quantitative genetic analysis reveals potential to genetically improve fruit yield through selection in Solanum lycopersicum × Solanum pimpinellifolium crosses under humid condition

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Despite the enormous achievements recorded in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) breeding using traditional and molecular approaches, most cultivars find humid environments highly unfavorable. As a result, fruit production cannot meet the rapidly increasing global demand.

Heterosis studies for fruit characters in Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2016
A study was conducted in brinjal to estimate the magnitude of heterosis for eight fruit characters. Significant heterosis exhibited by different crosses for different characters over the years viz., fruit length (PRxWB-1, PB- 66xPB-67 & PB-66xWB-1 ...

Partial diallel analysis among maize lines for characteristics related to the tassel and the productivity

open access: yes, 2016
Diallel crosses are important to the prediction of the best combinations among different heterotic groups of maize lines. The work objective was to estimate the combining ability among inbred lines from two heterotic groups to predict the best ...

Assessing the utility of genomic selection to breed for durable Ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Ascochyta blight (AB) is one of the most devastating fungal diseases of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Conventional breeding has focused on exploiting and introgressing major genes (qualitative effect) to improve AB resistance in released varieties.
