Understanding the genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance of traits in any plant population is an important pre-requisite for selection program. This study was designed to assess the magnitude of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance of traits in top-cross and three-...
Molecular markers are needed for enhancing the development of elite sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) cultivars with a wide range of commercially important traits in sub-Saharan Africa. This study was conducted to estimate the heritability and determine trait correlations of storage root yie...

The flower bud thrips, Megalurothrips sjostedti Trybom (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is an economically important pest of cowpea in sub‐Saharan Africa. Varietal resistance is the most preferred, environmentally friendly, cost‐effective and sustainable option for controlling this pest. The objective ...

En las últimas décadas se han desarrollado variedades de frijol adaptadas a las regiones semiáridas de México y Brasil. El desarrollo de dichas variedades, basado principalmente en el rendimiento, ha sido lento y costoso debido a la variación climática observada entre estaciones y localidades de ...

Crop breeders in the semi-arid tropics often confront a combination of moisture and nutrient stress in their target production environments. Stability of performance under stress conditions is, thus, a desirable goal for crop improvement. The objectives of these studies were (1) to explore the ...

Parent–offspring regression has often been used for the estimation of breeding value and narrow-sense heritability in experimental populations, particularly for diploid species with regular disomic inheritance. With polysomic inheritance, estimates of heritability based on parent–offspring regres...

Three traits, namely root number (RTNO), root weight(RTWT) and fresh yield (FYLD) of some cassava genotypes wrer scored and analysed for heritability. The genotypes differed significantly for each of the tree traits. Generally heritability per replicate was above 50% indicating that the additive ...
Data of 5342 progeny from 232 sires from 30 genetically linked flocks, collected
through the National Progeny Testing program for Merino sheep from 1991 to 1996, were used to estimate heritabilities for several production and type traits. The traits analysed were: body weight (BW), clean fleece ...
