Abstract excerpt
Evaluation of combining ability is a crucial process in hybrid breeding, and dissection of the genetic basis of combining ability will facilitate hybrid breeding. In this study, molecular markers significantly associated with general combining ability (GCA) of seven yield-related traits and the traits per se were detected in a set of maize introgression lines (ILs) under three environments. Totally 25 and 31...
