Breeding value of selected dessert strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) cultivars for ripening time, fruit yield and quality

Abstract

A half-diallel mating design (

General combining ability and heterosis regarding the phytochemical properties in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) hybrids

“…These findings are in agreement with a report by Masny et al. () that assessed the genetic variation in patterns in seven horticultural traits of strawberries using a half‐diallel mating design under a Polish agro‐ecosystem.…”

“…The breeding value of the parental strawberry cultivars was investigated by Masny et al. (). In this study, the highest value of GCA was estimated for cultivars: ‘Palomar’ and ‘Figaro’ – for fruit weight and soluble solid content and ‘Charlotte’ – for ascorbic acid content.…”

“…Therefore, they are among the most studied berries from the agronomic, genomic and nutritional points of view. There has been much work on creating plants with the desired traits in strawberry (Mishra et al 2015, Masny et al 2016, _ Zebrowska et al 2016. The aims of the strawberry breeding programmes are obtainment of good crop traits associated with the best combinations.…”

Assessment of Combining Ability Effects for several Yield and Quality Traits in a Complete Diallel Cross of Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.)

“…The analysis of diallel cross by the method of Griffing (1956b) which partition the total genetic variation into GCA of the parents and SCA of the crosses have been widely used in strawberry breeding (Daubeny, 1961;Hsu et al, 1969;Spangelo et al, 1971;MacLachlan, 1978;McNicol and Gooding, 1979;Simpson, 1987;Fort and Shaw, 2000;Davik andHonne, 2005: Masny et al, 2005;Bestfleisch et al, 2014;Mathey et al, 2014;Masny et al, 2014a;Masny et al, 2014b;Masny et al, 2016;Kaczmarska et al, 2017;Mathey et al, 2017).…”

“…Therefore, according to Masny et al (2016) one should expect that the productivity of the derived hybrids will be significantly higher than the sum of parent's GCA effects.…”
