The Objectives of this study were to determine the general (GCA) and specific (SCA)
combining abilities and heterosis of some cotton genotypes for yield, its components and …

Rye (Secale cereale L.) responds strongly to changes in heterozygosity with hybrids
portraying strong heterosis effect on all developmental and yielding characteristics. In order …

Artemisia annua is an important medicinal crop used for the production of the anti-malarial
compound artemisinin. In order to assist in the production of affordable high quality …

The objectives of the present study were to determine heterotic groups of germplasm lines of
tropical maize by test crosses and by simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and to …

Key message Four heterotic groups were identified for tropical indica rice germplasm to
develop hybrid rice in the tropics based on two studies. Abstract Heterotic groups are of …

With the aim of estimating genetic parameters and identifying superior popcorn
combinations, 10 parents were crossed in a circulant diallel and evaluated together with the …

Parental selection is crucial for hybrid breeding, but the methods available for such a
selection are not very effective. In this study, a 6× 6 incomplete diallel cross was designed …

The objective of present study was to estimate the magnitude of heterosis and gene action in
different types of intra-specific crosses of Gossypium barbadense L. viz. single (A x B) and …

Understanding the heterosis in multiple environments between different heterotic groups is
of fundamental importance in successful maize breeding. A total of 737 hybrids derived from …

Diallel analysis was used to obtain information on combining ability, heterosis, estimates of
genetic distances by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and on their correlations …
