Abstract: In many agricultural crops, the number of parents used in cross breeding make it difficult to obtain all possible hybrids diallels. Therefore, using maize as a model plant and based on traits with high low heritabilities, aim present study was quantify correlation estimates general combining ability (GCA) specific (SCA) between complete diallel circulant diallel, without inclusion par...

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...

Haloperidol is an efficacious antipsychotic drug that has serious, unpredictable motor side effects that limit its utility and cause noncompliance in many patients. Using a drug-placebo diallel of the eight founder strains of the Collaborative Cross and their F1 hybrids, we characterized aggregate effects of genetics, sex, parent of origin, and their combinations on haloperidol response. Treati...
