Combining ability among early quality protein maize inbred lines under stress and non stress environments
(2009)
The general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) are
the main criteria for rapid genetic assaying of test genotypes under the line by tester
analysis. Information on GCA and SCA has been well ...
Breeding rice for grain yield, earliness and grain quality in Eastern Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
Rice is one of the most important cereal crops in Eastern Africa and it’s often ranked after sorghum, wheat and maize. Unfortunately, rice yield per hectare is low (<3.6 t ha-1) because smallholder farmers rely on local ...
Combining ability for grain yield and agronomic traits among early drought tolerant quality protein maize (QPM) inbred lines
(2008-07)
Quality protein maize (QPM), a bio-fortified form of maize has twice the content
of limiting amino acids, lysine and tryptophan, compared with conventional maize. It has
been developed to, among other uses, help alleviate ...
Combining ability among multiple borer resistant,maize (zea mais, L.) inbred lines, resistant to chilo partellus and busseola fusca stem borers
(2006-04)
Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important cereal crop of the world. It has worldwide significance as human
food, animal feed and raw material for the manufacture of many industrial products. The most
important insect pests of ...
Combining ability and heterotic grouping of early maturing maize lines
(2011)
Maize is the main staple food in sub Saharan Africa, but its productivity is often
inadequate on account of many production constraints. Amongst these is drought that
causes on average an annual grain yield reduction of ...
