Estimating genetic parameters of agronomic and uality traits in a diallel cross of sugarbeet

genetic diversity of hulless barley lines and path analysis by grain yield and other agronomic traits

20 hulless barley lines were assessed by grain yield and other agronomic traits in 2006 and 2007 in the research station of the university of tabriz, iran. the experiments in each year were carried out as randomized complete block design with four replications. the genotypes were significantly different for most of the studied traits. this indicated the existence of large genetic variation in t...

Genetic Study of Agronomic Traits in Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) Using Hayman’s Graphical Analysis of Diallel

For the purpose of graphical analysis and estimation of genetic parameters related to yield and its components, six tobacco genotypes was crossed in half -diallel mating design. In this study, the F2 progenies and their parents were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results of analysis of variance indicated a significant difference between genotypes fo...

Selection of the most informative morphoagronomic descriptors for cassava germplasm

The objective of this work was to select the most informative morphoagronomic descriptors for cassava (Manihot esculenta) germplasm and to evaluate the ability of different methods to select the descriptors. Ninety‐five accessions were characterized using 51 morphoagronomic descriptors. Data were subjected to a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), whose information was used in the following ...

The Effect of Dams of Sire Path Management on Genetic and Economic Parameters in a Simulated Genomic Selection Program

A deterministic model based on the gene flow method, considering the features of Iranian Holstein cattle population, was implemented in this study to evaluate the effect of altering the number of age-classes in the dams of future sire (DS) path and the number of dams required for breeding a young bull (YB), to be evaluated as future sire, on genetic gain and resultant economic efficiency of a g...
