- Abstract
Featured Application: Information on the genetic potential of parental forms can shorten the breeding process. Knowledge of the variation of parental forms at the phenotypic and genetic levels can have a very significant impact on the heterosis effect of hybrids. An important stage in any breeding activity is selection of suitable individuals for further breeding. Thus, the main goal of breeders becomes such a selection of parental forms that leads to the consolidation and maximization of the value of traits of significant utility and economic importance. Heterosis and specific combining ability are very important parameters in plant and animal breeding. The ability to predict their value and relevance could significantly shorten the breeding process. One way to predict the effects of heterosis and specific combining ability is to select parental forms for crosses. This selection can be made on the basis of variation in parental forms. An analysis was made of publicly available data that contain information about the effects of heterosis, the effects of specific combining ability, and phenotypic and genetic diversity of parental forms. Preliminary studies show that the best approach for obtaining favorable hybrids would be selection of parental forms that are very genetically diverse while being phenotypically equal.
