Genetic analysis for yield and its components in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) [PDF]
, 2012 Combining ability variances and effects of yield and its components in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)were studied through half diallel analysis of 45 F1 hybrids derived by crossing 10 nearly homozygous germplasm lines namelyP1(IC282248), P2 ...

Diallel crossing among maize populations for resistance to fall armyworm
Scientia Agricola, 2002 Among the insects infecting the maize (Zea mays L.) crop in Brazil, the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda Smith, 1797, Lepdoptera: Noctuidae) is considered one of the most important because it causes the highest damage to yield.

Efficiency of circulant diallels as compared to complete diallels for the estimation of combining ability. [PDF]
, 2018 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.

Phenomic Prediction Can Be Improved by Optimization of NIRS Preprocessing
Plant Breeding, Volume 144, Issue 4, Page 454-469, August 2025.ABSTRACT In recent years, phenomic prediction has emerged as a new method in plant breeding that has been shown to have great potential. However, there are still many open questions regarding its practical application. For example, in the field of spectroscopy, it is standard practice to optimize the preprocessing of spectra, which so far has only been

Lotus tenuis x L. corniculatus interspecific hybridization as a means to breed bloat-safe pastures and gain insight into the genetic control of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis in legumes [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are secondary metabolites that strongly affect plant quality traits. The concentration and the structure of these metabolites influence the palatability and nutritional value of forage legumes. Hence, modulating PAs in
