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 ...

Combining ability in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Mansf.)
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2014 In the present investigation, the nature and magnitude of combining ability effects in twenty-eight crosses of watermelon involving eight parents were studied for fruit yield and its components. The variances due to specific combining ability were higher

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study explored the variation in taro leaf blight disease (TLBD) in Colocasia esculenta by examining five parent genotypes and their corresponding 20 single‐cross hybrids. A full diallel crossing design was employed and assessed under both naturally occurring field infections and controlled artificial inoculations.

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study aimed to determine the general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for egg production in a two‐way cross between Potchefstroom Koekoek (PK) and Lohmann Brown (LB) chicken breeds. The study used 352 chickens in a completely randomized design. A total of 524 eggs were collected from the pure and crossbred chickens.

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2004 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, The circulant diallels were formed by ...
