Genetic control of quantitative traits and hybrid breeding strategies for cashew improvement

Knowledge about genetic parameters and trait control is fundamental for the success of any breeding program.This study aimed to estimate genetic parameters in an interpopulation of cashew using the REML/BLUP methods for vegetativegrowth, yield and nut quality traits. Results showed that plant height...
