Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals

Diallel analyses are commonly used for the estimate of population genetic effects. Different models can be used, with a direct effect on the inferences. The objective of this study was to determine and compare two diallel analysis models, fixed and random, regarding the combining effects among six wheat genotypes. The experiment was conducted in the county of Capao do Leao/RS in the year 2006. Six wheat genotypes were used that were used for artificial crosses according to a complete diallel model without reciprocals, resulting in 15 hybrid combinations. The data were subjected to diallel analyses according to model 2 of Griffing (fixed) and BLUP (random). The results show that both diallel models indicate similar general combining ability effects. On the other hand, for the specific combining ability , the data must be used with caution, considering the two models simultaneously .
