Combining ability, gene action and heterosis analyses of maize lines that were developed for maize streak virus resistance and acidic soil tolerance
2021-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Aluminium toxicity in acidic soils (Al) and the maize streak virus disease (MSV) cause significant losses in maize productivity. These constraints can occur simultaneously in sub-Saharan Africa but there are no maize hybrids that combine resistance for both stresses. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to determine combining ability, gene action and heterosis for MSV and Al tolerance in maize. Ninety-nine...
