Genetic distance and specific combining ability in cassava [PDF]
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important source of energy in the tropics. Its starchy roots are valuable for food security as well as for different industries. Cassava is an outcrossing crop and its breeding is based on the use of heterozygous progenitors.

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 combining ability (SCA) of the hybrids for agronomic and technological traits.
