Diallel Analysis: Choosing Parents to Introduce New Variability in a Recurrent Selection Population

A diallel analysis of height in wheat

Diallel analysis to choose parents for black bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) breeding.

In this study, conducted in two different seasons, we aimed to choose parents to obtain promising segregating populations for the extraction of black bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) lines that are superior in terms of disease resistance, plant architecture, and grain yield. Twelve parents were arranged in two groups to compose a partial diallel in a 5 x 7 scheme. Group 1 was composed of parents wi...

Diallel Analysis for Lycopene Content in the Hybrids Derived from Different Colored Parents in Tomato

Lycopene is a red pigment in tomato with purported antioxidant properties. As the amount of lycopene has been reported to differ in different colored tomatoes or even absent in non-red tomatoes, the objective of this study was to investigate the inheritance of lycopene content and the color parameters of hybrids using a 10 parent diallel excluding reciprocals. Parents differed in general combin...

Fuzzy multi-criteria selection procedures in choosing data source

Technology assessment and selection has a substantial impact on organizations procedures in regards to technology transfer. Technological decisions are usually made by a group of experts, and whereby integrity of these viewpoints to a single decision can be quite complex. Today, operational databases and data warehouses exist to manage and organize data with specific features and henceforth, th...
