Overview

Analysis reveals the importance of combining ability for grain yield in maize, suggesting optimal hybrids for breeding.

Key Points

  • The study identifies specific inbred lines and crosses that enhance grain yield, crucial for maize breeding.
  • Overall, the variance in SCA surpassed GCA for most traits, indicating non-additive gene action is prevalent for grain yield.
  • A Line × Tester mating design evaluated 30 inbred lines and 2 testers for their combining ability concerning grain yield traits.
  • Identified hybrids warrant further evaluation across different environments to ascertain their commercial viability.
