Rapeseed breeding programs are focused mainly on improving plant potential and seed
yield. One of the ways to improve seed yield in oilseed rape is heterosis, which is hybrid …

Significant heterosis for seed yield in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) has created interest
in the development of hybrid cultivars. The objective of this study was to determine the value …

Basic genetic information needed to develop hybrid oilseed rape (Brassica napus spp.
oleifera) cultivars has not been previously reported. Since recent work had shown oilseed …

Little is known about the genetic control of heterosis in the complex polyploid crop species
oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). In this study, two large doubled-haploid (DH) mapping …

Line× tester analysis of two testers of spring type and six lines of winter type oil seed rape
varieties were used to estimate combining ability and heterosis of yield components and …

Present study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between parental genetic
distances, combining ability and heterosis in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). Nine elite …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is one of the most important oilseed crops of China. The
improvement of yield and oil content is presently being emphasized for this crop. The …

Chinese semi-winter rapeseed is genetically diverse from Canadian and European spring
rapeseed. This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of semi-winter rapeseed for …

Heterosis and epistasis in spring oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) was analysed by
comparing generation means for ten agronomic traits. Parents, F 2, F 3 and F 6 generations …

Parental selection is crucial for hybrid breeding, but the methods available for such a
selection are not very effective. In this study, a 6× 6 incomplete diallel cross was designed …
