Sparse testcrossing for early-stage genomic prediction of general combining ability to increase genetic gain in maize hybrid breeding programs. [PDF]
Sparse testcrossing is an effective strategy for increasing both short- and long-term genetic gain in hybrid breeding programs. Maize hybrid breeding programs aim to develop new hybrid varieties by crossing genetically distinct parents from different ...

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 ...
