Combining abilities for maize stem antibiosis, yield loss and yield under infestation and no infestation with pink stem borer [PDF]

, 1999
The pink stem borer (Sesamia nonagrioides Lef.) is the main pest of maize (Zea mays L.) in northwestern Spain. Little is known about combining ability for antibiosis and tolerance to this pest.

Analysis of variance of partial diallel tables

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2000
The theory of variance analysis of partial diallel tables, following Hayman's proposal of 1954, is presented. As several statistical tests yield similar inferences, the present analysis mainly proposes to assess genetic variability in two groups of ...

The Big BIT maize experiment: A large multi-location, multi-year, multi-tester, multi-population predictive breeding validation study. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract The Big Breeding Innovation Team (Big BIT) maize (Zea mays L.) experiment was one of the largest genomic data‐informed predictive breeding validation studies ever conducted. The experiment was a multi‐location, multi‐year, multi‐tester, multi‐population study involving F1 maize hybrids created by crossing individual doubled haploids to inbred ...

The use of general and specific combining abilities in a context of gene expression relevant to plant breeding [PDF]

Many common traits are believed to be a composite reflection of multiple genetic and environmental factors. Recent advances suggest that subtle variations in the regulation of gene expression may contribute to quantitative traits.

Genetic control of yield components in green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Труды по прикладной ботанике, генетике и селекции, 2023
Background. This work aimed at using Hayman’s methodology to study the inheritance of some quantitative traits, such as the number of pods per plant, pod length, mean pod weight, and yield per plant in 15 diallel hybrids of six green bean cultivars ...

Constitutive and inducible oleoresin defenses share genetic architectures and mechanisms in Pinus taeda

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2966-2987, June 2026.
Summary The oleoresin defense system of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) protects trees from insects and pathogens and is an important source of renewable biofuels and chemicals, but the genetic basis of oleoresin production is poorly understood. We characterized the genetic architecture of oleoresin flow, resin canal number, stem wood terpene content, and ...
