General and specific combining ability in sweet sorghum [PDF]

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2018
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 combining ability (SCA) of the hybrids for agronomic and technological traits.

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.

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

Watermelon general and specific combining ability [PDF]

Comunicata Scientiae, 2019
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 (RCB) was used, with 36 treatments, three blocks, and plots with five plants.

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 ...

Heterosis and Combining Ability Analysis of Fruit Yield, Early Maturity, and Quality in Tomato

Agronomy, 2021
Heterosis and combining ability are two important considerations in the utilization of heterosis, which can be used to generate excellent hybrid resource candidates and is very important in conventional hybrid breeding.

GENERAL AND SPECIFIC COMBINING ABILITY OF TROPICAL MAIZE GERMPLASM

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2008
Eight tropical maize populations were crossed in a diallel system. Parent and their 28 crosses were evaluated for grain yield in two plantations in 2006. The objective was to estimate the general combining ability (GCA) of the parental populations and the specific combining ability (SCA) of the crosses for grain yield. The populations were: 21, 22, 23,
