Combining ability among provitamin A‐enriched maize inbred lines and heterosis of their hybrids for grain yield and agronomic traits

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Studying the combining ability of pro‐vitamin A enriched yellow maize inbred lines (Zea mays L.) provides valuable information on the breeding potential of these lines for developing high‐yielding and biofortified maize hybrids with desirable agronomic traits.

Proper analysis of the diallel mating design

open access: yes, 1995
One of the assumptions required to estimate genetic parameters using the diallel mating design is that the genes in the parents must be independently distributed.

Analysis of a combined F1/F2 diallel cross in wheat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Analysis of a conventional diallel cross offers only perfect-fit estimates of the genetic components of variation, but no test for the goodness of fit of the model based on these estimates.

Inheritance of harvest index in common bean

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2018
The aim of this study was to verify if the harvest index (HI) of common bean is higher in modern lines, to verify if its estimate varies with the cycle of the plant and environmental conditions, and to obtain information concerning its genetic control ...

Diallel analysis in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern & Coss.)

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2016
Diallel analysis excluding reciprocals, comprised of ten parents and their hybrids was carried out to identify high heterotic crosses and their relationship in terms of general and specific combining ability (GCA and SCA) in Indian mustard in year 2013 ...

Indirect selection based on multispectral aerial images in the early stages of a wheat breeding program

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract To optimize a breeding program's phenotyping process, vegetation indices (VIs) obtained from multispectral images can serve as potential tools for the indirect selection of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) families. This study evaluates the use of VI and multispectral bands for the indirect selection of superior families in the early stages of a ...

Diallel analysis of elephantgrass clones for bioenergy production in a tropical environment

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Climate change caused by fossil fuels has driven the search for bioenergy sources. Elephantgrass [Cenchrus purpureus (Schumach.) Morrone] biomass is a promising alternative for diversifying the energy matrix. One of the main steps of a genetic breeding program is the selection of parents who will form the crossing block, and the use of diallel

Variation in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) in response to irrigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
This study aimed to investigate the response of lentil genotypes to different water regimes, providing guide lines, through partitioning the variation, for a selection program for adaptation to irrigated conditions. The research was divided into two main

Diallel analysis of the combining ability of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2000
Six common bean cultivars (LPSPI 93-17, LPSPI 93-19, FT-Nobre, Aporé, Rudá and Campeão-1) and their 15 diallel hybrids were evaluated for four agronomic characteristics using Griffing's methodology (1956).

Defense heterosis as a novel plant protection strategy: From theory to breeding practice

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
Defense heterosis, the enhanced disease resistance of hybrids compared to their parents, has evolved from early observations of hybrid vigor to a novel research concept. Advances are now clarifying its diverse genetic and molecular mechanisms across various plant–pathogen interactions.
