Inheritance of harvest index in common bean
Crop 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 ...

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

Diallel mixed-model analysis of papaya fruit deformities
Ciência Rural: Changes in the shape of fruits from hermaphrodite flowers due to floral anomalies are quite common. The aim of this study was to estimate the effects of the general and specific combining ability on the proportions of normal and deformed (carpelloid ...

Diallel Analysis for Tocopherol Contents in Seeds of Rapeseed
Crop Science, 2001 Because of their nutritional and antioxidative properties, tocopherol production is an interesting trait for the lipid quality of oil crops. Total tocopherol content in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is medium to low, and therefore, higher levels of tocopherol are desirable in this species.

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.

Combining ability and heterosis for grain yield, fodder yield and other agronomic traits in Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] [PDF]
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2014 Thirty six hybrids derived from a diallel mating design of nine parents and one standard check GJ-39 were evaluated for general and specific combining ability effects and standard heterosis for grain yield/plant, dry fodder yield/plant, days to 50 per ...

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 ...
