Selection of parents in a population hybrid breeding scheme for sweetpotato in Uganda

2024-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam. [2n = 6x = 90]) is a highly heterozygous, clonally propagated crop for which population hybrid breeding is expected to result in yield jumps and large genetic gain increases. The main objective of this study was to select parents for a heterosis exploiting breeding scheme in Uganda using general combining ability and index selection aggregating yield and biotic stress traits....
