Abstract excerpt
Estimates of the mean components m + a' and d represent a promising strategy for guiding the selection of populations and lines in plant breeding programs. This study estimated m + a' and d to identify commercial yellow melon hybrids suitable for inbred line extraction to develop new hybrids. The experiments evaluated seven commercial single-cross (F1) yellow melon hybrids and their self-pollinated progenies...
