Combining ability for growth parameter and yield components were evaluated in a 7× 7
diallel fashion in maize at the research farm of Plant Breeding Division, Bangladesh …

A half diallel (9 x 9) analysis using nine new white maize inbred lines derived from different
sources were evaluated to estimate genetic variability, combining ability, gene action and …

A sound breeding program for maize improvement is very important to meet the demands of
the growing population. Therefore, combining ability and heterosis were studied in a 4 x 4 …

MAIZE (Zea mays L.) is the third-most significant cereal grain in Egypt, although it is
susceptible to water stress, which results in substantial losses in both productivity and …
