Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] is a major nut crop with high genetic complexity due to its heterozygosity and self-incompatible origin. In this study, genetic parameters for flowering, maturity and productivity, three key complex traits in almond breeding, were estimated using classical methods (midparent-offspring regression and between/within family variance components) as well as a...
