ESTIMATION OF GENERAL AND SPECIFIC COMBINING ABILITIES IN POTATO

Canadian Journal of Genetics and Cytology, 1976
Seven quantitative traits of the cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) were studied in a partial diallel cross experiment. Large specific combining ability effects were observed for total and marketable yields, total number of tubers, and number of marketable tubers. Large general combining ability effects were obtained for average weight per tuber,

General and specific combining ability for cane yield and implications for sugarcane breeding [PDF]

Crop Science, 2020
AbstractGeneral combining ability (GCA) referencing additive genetic effects and specific combining ability (SCA) referencing nonadditive effects have been applied for decades in maize (Zea mays L.) breeding and other crops to produce greater genetic gains in crop breeding.

Miscellanea. Optimal designs for diallel crosses with specific combining abilities

Biometrika, 1999
SUMMARY Optimal designs for diallel crosses are considered when, in addition to the block effects and general combining abilities, the model also includes specific combining abilities. It is seen that partially balanced incomplete block designs with the triangular association scheme play a key role in this context.

Correlations between specific combining ability, heterosis and ge-netic distance in hybrid rice

Hereditas (Beijing), 2009
Hybrid rice breeding is the combining ability breeding. Screening hybrid rice combinations with high special combining ability (SCA) is able to breed strong superiority combinations with practical values. In this study, the genetic distances (GD) of nine three-line hybrid rice (5 CMS lines and 4 restorer lines) were examined using SSR markers. Based on

General and Specific Combining Abilities for Flower Characters of Capsicum annuum L.

Journal of Experimental Agriculture International, 2019
The study was carried out with the objective of estimating the combinatorial capacity of ornamental pepper (Capsicum. annuum L.) genotypes for flower traits, aiming to identify the best hybrids and the best parents for the synthesis of new populations.

Multiplicative Models for Specific Combining Ability in Half‐diallels with Parents

Crop Science, 2013
ABSTRACTThis paper considers multiplicative models for the analysis of half‐diallels with parents (self‐crosses) and graphical displays based on such models, including biplots. It is shown that models respecting the symmetry of the diallel two‐way classification are inherently restrictive because multiplicative terms for specific combining ability (SCA)

USING GENERAL AND SPECIFIC COMBINING ABILITY TO FURTHER ADVANCE STRAWBERRY (FRAGARIA SP.) BREEDING

Acta Horticulturae, 2014
Strawberry is one of the five fruit crops included in the USDA-funded multi-institutional and trans-disciplinary project, “RosBREED: Enabling Marker-Assisted Breeding in Rosaceae”. A Crop Reference Set (CRS) was developed of 900 genotypes and seedlings from 40 crosses representing the breadth of relevant diversity and encompassing founders used in ...

Estimates of Additive Genetic, Maternal and Specific Combining Abilities for Some Litter Traits of Swine

Journal of Animal Science, 1984
Data from 1,234 purebred and crossbred litters were analyzed with a multiple regression procedure to obtain estimates of breed additive, breed maternal, specific combining ability (SCA) and average maternal heterosis effects for the Duroc (D), Hampshire (H), Landrace (L), Spot (S) and Yorkshire (Y) breeds. The traits studied were: number farrowed (NB),

General and specific combining ability of in vitro doubled haploid maize lines in the field

Acta Agronomica Hungarica, 2010
The breeding of hybrid maize now has a history of over 100 years. In 1908, George H. Shull was the first to report on the high yields, great uniformity and homogeneity of hybrids derived from a cross between two inbred lines. Following this discovery, consistent self-fertilisation over a period of six to eight generations was found to be an extremely ...
