ABSTRACT Knowledge of the combining ability of genotypes, genetic diversity, and heterosis play the paramount role in obtaining double-cross hybrids with high productivity. This study was aimed at evaluating these parameters in tomato genotypes using partial diallel crosses among the commercial single-cross hybrids, which verified the possibility of using double-cross hybrids for commercial purposes. Tomato genotypes included 15 double-cross hybrids, their genitors, and two commercial genotypes as checks. Of the fifteen double-cross hybrids of tomato, two crosses exhibited superiority, such as Aguamiel × Compack and Dominador × Compack, mainly for the total and commercial fruit yields. The phenotypic expression of the trait is controlled by the genes with non-additive effects, whereas the genes with additive effects account for the genotypes of fruit mass, horizontal diameter, vertical diameter, and bunch insertion height. Regarding the genetic diversity, molecular analyses pointed out polymorphism for 79 percent of the evaluated loci evidencing a high genetic variability among the genitors. The heterosis values were low for most of the crosses, except for Forty × Plutão that represented 107 percent of heterosis for the total fruit yield. As compared with the commercial checks, the diallel cross generated superior quality hybrids, which inferred the possibility of obtaining double-cross hybrids of tomato with significant heterosis.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential per se of male-sterile and fertility-restorer lines of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), as well as to detail the heterosis manifested for some traits directly or indirectly related to ethanol production, accumulation rate, and predictability. Evaluations were performed for 20 genotypes, of which 4 are fertility-restorer lines (R), 3 are male-sterile lines (A), and 12 are experimental hybrids (H) resulting from the partial diallel cross between lines A and R, besides a commercial hybrid CV198 used as a check, in four harvest seasons. The experiments were carried out in the municipalities of Lavras and Sete Lagoas, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The measured traits were plant height, green mass production, juice extraction, total soluble solids content, and megagrams of Brix per hectare. The male-sterile A1 and the fertility-restorer R1 and R3 lines show the best potential per se, considering all traits and their accumulation rate and predictability over harvest times. Heterosis is significant for all traits. The H11, H13, H14, H21, H22, and H33 hybrids are promising because of their better performance per se and higher heterosis.

ABSTRACT The low use of technologies by farmers and the occurrence of biotic and abiotic stresses are limiting factors for cowpea production in the Brazilian Northeast region. The tolerance of genotypes to drought is an alternative to decrease the negative effects of stresses on cowpea production. Thus, the objective of this work was to identify parents and combinations of cowpea genotypes with high probability of generating segregating populations with tolerance to drought. Six cowpea genotypes were crossed in a complete diallel cross design, totaling 30 F2 populations, which were evaluated together with their parents in an experiment under water deficit at the experimental field of the Embrapa Mid-North, Teresina, State of Piauí, Brazil. A triple lattice incomplete block experiment design was used, with three replications, with experimental plot consisting of six 2-m plant rows. Fifteen plants per plot were sampled to evaluate their agronomic characteristics, whose results were subjected to analysis of variance and means were used to estimate the general and specific combining abilities. The genotypes showed significant differences in all characteristics evaluated, denoting the genetic variability of the population. The additive effects were more important than the non-additive effects, and maternal inheritance was detected. The genotypes BRS Xiquexique, Pingo-de-Ouro-1-2 and MNC99-510F-16-1 were the most promising for use in recurrent selection programs for tolerance to water deficit. The hybrid combinations (1) BRS Paraguaçu X (4) CNCx-698-128G, (2) Pingo-de-Ouro-1-2 X (3) BRS Xiquexique, (3) BRS Xiquexique X (5) Santo-Inácio, (4) CNCx-698-128G X (6) MNC99-510F-16-1 and (5) Santo-Inácio X (4) CNCx-698-128G showed potential for generating superior lineages regarding bean production and tolerance to water deficit.

ABSTRACT: Technological traits improvement of cotton fiber is a constant demand by textile industry. This research aimed to identify the potential of improved materials with high lint percentage to contribute with alleles that increase the lint percentage in Extra long staple fiber (ELS) upland cotton. Two contrasting materials for lint percentage (LP) and fiber length (FL) were used, one with long fiber and a low lint percentage (parent A) and another with high lint percentage and medium length (parent B). The following variables were evaluated: lint percentage (LP), upper half mean length (UHML), fiber uniformity (FU), fiber strength (FS), and elongation (EL). Diallel analysis was performed using the Griffing’s Method 4 adapted to partial diallel. Additive effects were predominant over non-additive effects. The mean LP was higher when using parent B. The opposite occurred for UHML. A negative correlation was detected between LP and UHML, showing the difficulty of obtaining genetic gain for both traits at the same time.

Curvularia leaf spot (CuLS), caused by Curvularia lunata, is a devasting foliar disease in the maize-growing regions of China. Resistant varieties were widely planted in these regions in response to CuLS. However, over time, C. lunata has gradually adapted to the selective pressure and, in recent years, the incidence of CuLS has increased. To assess the correlation between virulence and genetic diversity, a total of 111 isolates was collected from 15 maize-growing regions located in nine provinces in China. These isolates were evaluated for virulence on maize using nine differential hosts: Shen135, CN165, Mo17, Luyuan92, 78599, Ye478, B73, E28, and Huangzaosi. To evaluate the genetic diversity, 657 polymorphic amplified fragment length polymorphism markers were generated. Results showed that the isolates could be grouped into three pathotypes according to the phenotypic expression of the differential inbred lines. Isolates were clustered into two genetic diversity groups and further divided into subgroups. However, the correlation between virulence and genetic diversity grouping was low. Also, there was a low correlation observed between pathotype and geographic distribution. The ratio of mating type I to mating type II for all isolates was close to 3:4.

The combining ability of four tomato genotypes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) for salt tolerance was determined by investigating the progeny from a 4 × 4 diallel cross. Sixteen progenies (F1s, selfs and reciprocals) were evaluated at three levels of salinity (0%, 1.0%, 1.5%) in a complete block design with four replications under greenhouse conditions. The analysis of the genetic component revealed that the mode of inheritance of salt tolerance appeared to be different to that of plant characters and salinity levels as measured by plant height and fruit yield components. However, the fruit count was consistently controlled by additive gene effects. The specific crosses Moneymaker (MM) × Red Alert (RA) and Ailsa Craig (AC) × Gardener's Delight (GD) produced the highest yield. The small-fruited parents, Red Alert and Gardener's Delight, had higher general combining ability value for salt tolerance than the large-fruited, Ailsa Craig and Moneymaker, for fruit yield components. RA and GD were superior parents in transmitting salt tolerance. The study revealed that plant selection could be used to improve varietal performance for salt tolerance. It is also suggested that the potential variation in commercial cultivars could be exploited to improve adaptability to more saline growing conditions till resistant cultivars are developed through crosses with the wild species or genetic transformation with optimum management practices.

SUMMARYUsing the 602 second chromosome lines extracted from the Ishigakijima population of Drosophila melanogaster in Japan, partial diallel cross experiments (Design II of Comstock & Robinson, 1952) were carried out, and the additive genetic variance and the dominance variance of viability were estimated. The estimated value of the additive genetic variance is 0·01754±0·00608, and the dominance variance 0·00151±0·00114, using a logarithmic scale. Since the value of the additive genetic variance is much larger than expected under mutation–selection balance although the dominance variance is compatible with it, we speculate that in the Ishigakijima population some type of balancing selection must be operating to maintain the genetic variability with respect to viability at a minority of loci. As candidates for such selection, overdominance, frequency-dependent selection, and diversifying selection are considered, and it is suggested that diversifying selection is the most probable candidate for increasing the additive genetic variance.

Abstract. Windarsih G, Utami DW, Yuriyah S. 2019. Genetic diversity and productivity of Gracilaria coronopifolia as alternative for food resource based on RAPD marker. Biodiversitas 20: 3758-3765. Gracilaria coronopifolia is one of potential seaweed as an alternative for food resources, especially for agar source. The information about the genetic profile of G. coronopifolia will be useful for assisting in conservation and breeding efforts. RAPD marker is expected to be utilized for characterization of the species with high productivity based on genetic profile. This research aims to determine the genetic diversity and productivity of G. coronopifolia based on RAPD marker. The samples were collected from Anyer Beach, Banten, Indonesia i.e. Tanjung Tum Beach, Mambruk Hotel Beach, and Patra Comfort Anyer Beach, as well as the cultivation ponds of seaweed in Lontar Village, Banten, Indonesia. Five RAPD primers (OPA-01, OPA-16, OPT-05, OPR-02, and UBC-594) were screened to characterize the genetic profile of samples. The results showed that all primers produced polymorphic bands. Based on the genetic profile, the samples of G. coronopifolia were separated into two main clusters, consisted of group A (Tanjung Tum Beach, Patra Beach, and Mambruk Beach) with a coefficient of similarity of 0.44 and group B (Lontar Village) with a similarity coefficient of 0.43. The sample from Lontar Village was separated outside from the other three samples at the waters of Anyer Beach. The sample from Lontar Village had the highest talus height (18.0 cm) and dry weight (1.250 g/clump). The UBC-594 primer was the most associated with the talus height and dry weight on the band size of 50 bp, thus this primer was assumed can be used as a selection marker for the talus height and dry weight of G. coronopifolia.

Nine lines of honeybees were used to form a 9 x 9 partial diallel cross. Hamuli number was determined for samples of worker offspring. One set of workers was reared in non-maternal colonies which had been made uniform, as far as possible, with respect to colony strength (number of workers), while another set was sampled directly from the combs of each maternal colony. Combining ability analysis of variance revealed significant additive and non-additive genetic effects for both sets of data, regardless of whether inbred parentals were included or excluded from the analysis. Uniform rearing removed average heterosis and reciprocal effects.
