Description
Summary:Comparison between two distinct groups using a partial diallel and considering reciprocal effects has not been described in the scientific literature, limiting diallel analysis results. This study compared two groups of parents using a partial diallel, and analyzed the general and specific combining ability and reciprocal effects, divided into maternal and cytoplasmic. A partial diallel was established with nine maize hybrids, including the F1 and reciprocal hybrids for grain yield. For this application, the reciprocal effects were not significant. The proposed model would provide plant breeders with additional information to analyze partial diallel mating designs.
