Combining abilities and heterotic groups in Pisum sativum L. [PDF]
The objective of this research was to investigate the use of heterosis and estimates of the general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for yield and the yield-related traits for identifying suitable parents and forming heterotic

THE THEORY AND ANALYSIS OF DIALLEL CROSSES [PDF]
HE investigation of the properties of groups of homozygous lines by means T of diallel crosses as proposed by HULL (1945) has subsequently been discussed in growing detail in a series of papers by JINKS and HAYMAN (1953 and later). With certain assumptions, the genetic variation present can be described in terms of the biometrical concepts of MATHER ...

Abstract We conducted simulations of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) breeding programs to better understand the interplay between different choices a breeder must make when launching a genomic selection (GS) pipeline. We complement preceding studies on optimizing model parameters and training set makeup by exploring the practical implementation of ...

Strain comparisons in aquaculture species: a manual [PDF]
When different strains or breeds of a particular species are available, the best choice is seldom immediately obvious for producers. Scientists are also interested in the relative performance of different strains because it provides a basis for ...

Abstract Phenomic selection is a breeding approach that incorporates phenomic data into statistical models to predict new genotypes. There is still much to learn about the efficacy of phenomic selection compared to genomic selection and best practices for its application in different crops. We utilized multispectral imaging of 1122 strawberry (Fragaria

Semen characteristics of purebred and crossbred male rabbits. [PDF]
The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the semen quality traits of purebred male rabbits and their crosses under subtropical Egyptian conditions. A full 3 x 3 diallel crossing was performed for producing the first generation progeny of New Zealand

Quantitative genetics of learning ability and resistance to stress in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
Even though laboratory evolution experiments have demonstrated genetic variation for learning ability, we know little about the underlying genetic architecture and genetic relationships with other ecologically relevant traits.

ABSTRACT Invasive species present significant management challenges worldwide due to their ability to rapidly adapt to novel environments. The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, a globally distributed invasive species, arrived in western Sweden in 2006 but has not yet colonised the low salinity waters of the Baltic Sea, presumably because low salinities

The inheritance of ear traits in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [PDF]
The mode of inheritance of the ear traits considered as the yield components, namely kernel number and weight per ear were examined using diallel crossing method.
