“…The present study and also a large number of other studies suggested that different traits in strawberries are highly inheritable: fruit size (Comstock et al, 1958;Watkins et al, 1970;Spangelo et al, 1971;Whitaker et al, 2012;Mishra et al, 2015); plant yield, fruit number/plant, sugar content (Mishra et al, 2015). In essence, there is a strong potential to improve this traits by selection of the best parents.…”

“…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).…”

Information on the inheritance of yield and quality traits is important for the selection of parents and breeding approaches to be adopted for the improvement of strawberry. The present study aimed to estimate the combining ability and gene effects for plant yield, fruits number/plant, fruit weight, pulp firmness and sugar content of strawberries in order to identify the best genitors and promising crosses, in 30 hybrids of six parents. The additive and non-additive gene action as well as the maternal effects was involved in the inheritance of the studied traits. For all traits, especially for fruit weight and plant yield, the additive gene action was more important than the non-additive one. The parents 'A1' and 'Alba' showed a higher concentration of favourable alleles for plant yield and fruits number, and they will allow the increase of plant yield when used as a donor of pollen and the increase of fruit number when used as a recipient of pollen. The variety 'Marmolada' was a good general combiner for sugar content, pulp firmness and fruit weight, especially when used as a female genitor. These parents could be used in hybridization in order to accelerate the genetic improvement of some yield and quality traits in strawberries. The cross 'Mira' × 'Onda' expressed desirable specific combining ability effects for yield traits and can be successfully use in strawberries breeding programs. In the case of 'Alba' × 'Clery' there is a high probability to select progenies with valuable yield traits associated with sweet fruits.

“…On the contrary, two Polish cultivars (Filon and Selvik) exhibited significantly negative GCA effects and thus are highly valuable for breeding strawberry cultivars low susceptible to verticillium wilt. The significant SCA effects for strawberry characteristics often show up only in a few cross combinations and can either improve or degrade biological and agricultural value of the progeny (Hortyński, 1987;Masny et al, 2005Spangelo et al, 1971;_ Zurawicz, 1990). Characteristics of parent cultivars with regard to the value of SCA effects for verticillium wilt severity in plants are presented in Table 4.…”

General combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) effects of 10 strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) cultivars (Darselect, Selvik, Elianny, Figaro, Sonata, Susy, Salsa, Albion, Charlotte, and Filon) for severity of verticillium wilt (Verticillium dahliae) were estimated. Progeny consisting of 45 F1 full-sib families from the crosses made in a half diallel mating design according to the IV Griffing’s method was evaluated in two field experiments conducted in 2009 and 2010 on a soil heavily infested with V. dahliae inoculum. Each hybrid family was represented by 60 seedlings (four replicates of 15 plants each). The analysis of variance revealed significant (P < 0.01) GCA and SCA effects of the parental cultivars for the verticillium wilt severity in plants. This suggests that genetic additive and non-additive effects are involved in the inheritance of strawberry tolerance to verticillium wilt. In 2009, a significant negative GCA effect (P < 0.05) for the verticillium wilt severity in plants was found in ‘Selvik’, ‘Filon’, and ‘Sonata’, indicating genetic transmission of tolerance from parents to the offspring. On the other hand, a significant (P < 0.05) and positive for the verticillium wilt severity GCA effect was found for ‘Figaro’ in 2009, indicating the transmission from this parent to its offspring relatively high susceptibility to the wilt. Only in one hybrid family, ‘Albion’ × ‘Charlotte’, was the SCA effect significantly positive (P < 0.05) for verticillium wilt severity in plants, whereas two other hybrid families—‘Selvik’ × ‘Salsa’ and ‘Sonata’ × ‘Albion’—showed significantly negative SCA effects (P < 0.05). Three of 10 evaluated genotypes (i.e., ‘Selvik’, ‘Filon’, and ‘Sonata’) were found to be the most valuable parents to the strawberry breeding program for tolerance to verticillium wilt. The least suitable cultivar for this purpose was ‘Figaro’.
