Genetic Dissection of the General Combining Ability of Yield-Related Traits in Maize. [PDF]
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

General and specific combining ability in sweet sorghum [PDF]
In breeding of sweet sorghum hybrids, non-additive genetic effects are important in phenotypic expression of the traits of interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the general combining ability (GCA) of sweet sorghum lines and the specific ...

OsPRR37 and Ghd7 are the major genes for general combining ability of DTH, PH and SPP in rice. [PDF]
Artificial 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.

Watermelon general and specific combining ability
The combining ability of six watermelon genotypes was estimated in a diallel cross scheme (6x6), including genotypes JNY (1), ‘ORA’ (2), ‘KOD’ (3), ‘SOL’ (4), ‘CHG’ (5), ‘PEA’ (6) and all possible hybrids between them. A randomized complete block design (

General and specific combining ability in Serrasalmidae
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

Genetic performance and general combining ability of oil palm Deli dura x AVROS pisifera tested on inland soils. [PDF]
The performance of 11 oil palm AVROS (Algemene Vereniging van Rubberplanters ter Oostkust van Sumatra) pisiferas was evaluated based on their 40 dura x pisifera (DxP) progenies tested on inland soils, predominantly of Serdang Series.

Griffing's Methods Comparison for General and Specific Combining Ability in Cucumber [PDF]
A comparison among two forms of half-diallel analysis was made. The different half-diallel techniques used were Griffing's model I, method 2 and 4. These methods of diallel analysis were found to be interrelated.

Frequency of heterotic hybrids in relation to general combining ability of parents in sweet corn. [PDF]
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 ...
