Genetic Dissection of the General Combining Ability of Yield-Related Traits in Maize. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2020 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. Previous studies mainly focused on dissecting the genetic basis of per se performances for yield-related traits, but the genetic basis of general combining ability (GCA) for

OsPRR37 and Ghd7 are the major genes for general combining ability of DTH, PH and SPP in rice. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 AbstractArtificial selection of high yield crops and better livestock is paramount importance in breeding programs. Selection of elite parents with preferred traits from a phalanx of inbred lines is extremely laborious, time-consuming and highly random.

Frequency of heterotic hybrids in relation to general combining ability of parents in sweet corn. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 The success of developing prominent hybrids directly depends on the selection of parents with good combining ability which can transfer desirable genes with additive effects to their progeny. The data of 42 hybrids generated using 7 × 7 full diallel design; their seven parents along with three check hybrids were subjected to combining ability analysis ...

Identifying quantitative trait loci for the general combining ability of yield-relevant traits in maize. [PDF]
Breed Sci, 2021 Maize is the most important staple crop worldwide. Many of its agronomic traits present with a high level of heterosis. Combining ability was proposed to exploit the rule of heterosis, and general combining ability (GCA) is a crucial measure of parental performance.

On heterosis, inbreeding depression and general combining ability in annual caraway (Carum carvi) [PDF]
Euphytica, 2021 AbstractCaraway (Carum carvi) is a medicinal and aromatic plant of the Apiaceae family with a long history of cultivation. To this day, improvements in yield and essential oil content are desirable. In the past, line breeding was used to increase essential oil content with the final intention of combining inbred lines to a synthetic variety by ...

General and specific combining ability in Serrasalmidae
Aquaculture Research, 2018 This work was carried out to predict the combining abilities, both general and specific, for performance traits and bodily yields of Serrasalmidae. Ninety‐six 30‐day‐old juveniles were purchased from two commercial fish farms, 12 of each of the following eight genetic groups: pacu, pirapitinga, tambaqui, tambacu, tambatinga, patinga, paqui and piraqui.

Consequences of Truncation Selection Based on Combinations of Individual Performance and General Combining Ability [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1962 The objective of this study is to examine in detail the immediate and longterm oonsequenoes of nine oombinations of trunoation seleotion. These oombinations result from applying one of the following oonditions to eaoh sex: (i) no seleotion, (ii) individual seleotion, and (iii) general oombining ability seleotion.
