Genetic parameters in parents and hybrids of circulant diallel in popcorn

Genetic parameters in parents and hybrids of circulant diallel in popcorn.

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 15 resulting hybrids at two locations in two growing seasons for grain yield, number of broken plants, number of partially husked ears and popping expansion. The hybrids were less sensitive to environmental variations than th...

Genetic distances between popcorn populations based on molecular markers and correlations with heterosis estimates made by diallel analysis of hybrids.

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 with heterosis, for the popcorn varieties RS 20, UNB2, CMS 43, CMS 42, Zélia, UEM J1, UEM M2, Beija-Flor, and Viçosa, which were crossed to obtain all possible combinations, without reciprocals. The genitors and the ...

phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

Evaluation of genetic parameters and heritability of traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.) using diallel method

To study the genetic control of grain yield and its components in rice using Hayman graphical method, 56 progenies obtained from diallel mating with eight parents (64 genotypes in total) were evaluated using randomized complete block design with three replications at research field of the Rice Research Institute of Iran in 2013. Agronomic traits, grain yield and its components were measured and...
