Drought and heat stress have perceptibly become major maize (Zea mays L.) yield reducing
factors in Sub-Saharan Africa. As such, the objectives of this study were to:(i) determine the …

Genetic control and heterosis depend directly on genetic divergence among the parents in
generating promising hybrids required by plant breeders. The purpose of this study was to …

A half diallel (9 x 9) analysis using nine new white maize inbred lines derived from different
sources were evaluated to estimate genetic variability, combining ability, gene action and …

This study investigated the combining ability, heterosis and heterotic grouping of maize (Zea
mays L.) inbred lines to enhance hybrid performance and productivity. Twenty-four hybrids …

Five white kernel maize inbred lines were crossed in a complete diallel fashion during
spring season 2010 at Cereal Crops Research Institute (CCRI), Pirsabak-Nowshera, Khyber …

A sound breeding program for maize improvement is very important to meet the demands of
the growing population. Therefore, combining ability and heterosis were studied in a 4 x 4 …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important cereal crop belonging to the tribe Maydeae, of the grass
family, Poaceae. It is a versatile crop with wider genetic variability and able to grow …

In China, the main breeding objective for maize (Zea mays L.) is increasing the yield of
single-cross hybrids. In this regard, developing yield-prediction models based on genetic …
