Abstract:Introduction. The selection of pure lines followed by crosses to create superior hybrids is one of the oldest strategies in crop breeding. Combining ability studies provide reliable information for selection of parents for hybrid combination by revealing the nature and magnitude of gene actions involved in expression of quantitative traits. Objective. To estimate the General and Specific Combining Ability (GCA and SCA) values for yield in cherry tomatoes and select F1 hybrids combining high yield and fruit qua… Show more
