Abstract A Line X Tester mating set of eight newly developed Quality Protein Maize inbred
lines were utilized to evaluate combining ability and heterosis for yield and its components …

In Ghana: low yield of maize 1.7 t ha-1 has been reported. Thus, use inbred lines with good
combining ability for yield and yield-contributing characters to form excellent combinations is …

Crop production worldwide is focus to increasing environmental limitations, particularly to
drought due to its high degree of impact and wide distribution. Conventional breeding …

Zea mays is an important cereal crop through out the world. The grain, fodder yield and
quality traits are the most imperative traits to increase demand to improve its production to …

Utilization of stress tolerant maize is key to sustainable production and food security. Limited
knowledge on genetics of drought tolerance hampers development of drought tolerant …

Maize yield components including row number, kernel number per row, kernel thickness,
kernel width, kernel length, 100-kernel weight, and volume weight affect grain yield directly …

Study of combining ability and gene action for drought tolerance in wheat were carried out
using Genotype-by-Environment (GGE) biplot techniques. Eight-parental diallel crosses …

The present study was carried out to determine the combining ability of yield and yield
components by crossing six diverse maize inbred lines in a half diallel mating design …

Abstract Knowledge about genetic composition of a character helps plant breeders to plan
their breeding programs. Grain yield and related traits are very important in maize breeding …

In rabi season 2012, six diversed maize inbred lines were crossed in all possible
combinations without reciprocals by using a half diallel mating design to obtain 15 single …
