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).

Genetic Variability and Heterosis in F1 and F2 Generations of Diallel Crosses among Seven Wheat Genotypes [PDF]
In order to study the effect of heterosis and nature of genetic on plant height and yield traits were studied in a 7x7 diallel cross without reciprocals and their F2 generation in wheat to define and select an efficient and prospective material for ...

Influence of Ploidy and Genetic Background on Stress Tolerance of Intraspecific Yeast Hybrids
A large set of intraspecific yeast hybrids was constructed using two strategies that yielded series of hybrids with variable ploidy. Phenotyping of the hybrids was carried out in high‐stress media to assess the effects of ploidy and genetic background on heterosis.

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.

Inheritance of harvest index in common bean
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.)
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 ...

Diallel analysis in agronomic traits of Jatropha [PDF]
The objectives of this study were to estimate the general and specific combining ability of the parents, and to verify the existence of maternal effect and inbreeding depression in Jatropha. The experiment was carried out from 2010 to 2015, in the municipality of Planaltina, Distrito Federal.

Accumulating alleles of resistance to white mold in common beans over 13 recurrent selection cycles
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

Optimizing population simulations to accurately parallel empirical data for digital breeding
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.
