Improving yield via assessment of different yield-related genetic parameters specifically with the challenges of yield × traits combination is a prominent issue for plant breeders. A graphical and numerical description of diallel analysis by yield × traits with the novelty of the parent selection with desirable genetic architecture in rapeseed was illustrated via Hayman and biplot approaches. Eleven divers' parents and their F offspring, achieved via a complete diallel mating fashion, were evaluated under field conditions based on randomized complete block design replicated thrice throught 2018-2020.

Biometric genetic experiments such as line × tester provide valuable insights into the genetic structure of traits associated with high oil yield.

This process becomes more complicated when all quantitative traits are considered in selection in addition to grain yield. In the present study, 18 oilseed rape genotypes along with 2 check cultivars (RGS003 and Dalgan) were evaluated across 16 environments (a combination of 2 years and eight locations) in the tropical climate regions of Iran during 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 cropping seasons.

In this regard, 19 breeding lines as well as two commercial cultivars were studied using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications in three locations during the 2020-2021 growing season. In this study, to identify the association among different traits and to select the best rapeseed lines based on multiple traits, genotype × trait (GT) and genotype × yield × trait (GYT) biplot analyses were used.
