Abstract excerpt
In the breeding of citrus (Citrus spp.), suitable fruit quality is essential for consumer acceptance of new cultivars. To identify parental combinations producing F1 progeny with fruit-quality traits exceeding certain selection criteria, we developed a simple and practical method for predicting multiple-trait segregation in an F1 progeny population. This method uses breeding values of parental genotypes and an...
