Vegetables are an integral part of the human diet worldwide. Traditional breeding
approaches have been used extensively to develop new cultivars of vegetables with …

Heterosis (or hybrid vigor) results in a hybrid's phenotypic superiority over its founder
parents for quantitative and qualitative traits. Hybrid vigor is defined by mechanisms such as …

Eggplant cultivation is subjected to attacks by numbers of pests and diseases from the
nursery stage until harvest. Root-knot nematode (M. javanica) is one of the most significant …

Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is a major vegetable crop with great potential for genetic
improvement owing to its large and mostly untapped genetic diversity. It is closely related to …

Multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) populations facilitate the genetic
dissection of complex quantitative traits in plants and are valuable breeding materials. We …

Background The demand of maize crop is increasing day by day, hence to reduce the
production and demand gap, there is a need to extract the high yielding parental lines to …

Eloquent information about the genetic basis of inheritance is important for any breeding
program. Therefore, a diallel study was conducted under the influence of tomato leaf curl …

Genetic progress in quantitative traits can be improved by understanding how genes interact
and estimating the consequences of combining abilities. As a result, a randomized block …

Chinese cabbage is an important vegetable in Asia, and high-yielding hybrids are needed to
cope with the growing demand. A comparative transcriptome profiling was conducted to …

Existing celery germplasm resources must be evaluated prior to celery biological research
and application of germplasm resources. In this study, 14 agronomic and quality traits, and …
