PREDICTING HETEROSIS AND F1 PERFORMANCE IN SPRING RAPESEED ( GENETIC DISTANCE BASED ON MOLECULAR OR PHENOTYPIC DATA?

analysed phenotypic traits and 64 SSR markers. The obtained results showed that the parental genetic distance based on phenotypic traits was better in predicting heterosis and combining ability in comparison with the distance estimated by SSR analysis. Although the obtained results revealed that the genetic distance based on molecular markers had no correlation with mid-parent and high-parent heterosis, further studies are needed with a larger number and different types of markers to draw the final conclusion.
