Combining ability and gene action for resistance to Fusarium ear rot in tropical maize hybrids

Combining ability and gene action for resistance to Fusarium ear rot in tropical maize hybrids

A comprehensive understanding of the genetics of resistance is essential for developing an effective breeding strategy to create germplasm resistant to Fusarium Ear Rot. This study aimed to determine the general combining ability (GCA), specific combining ability (SCA), and heritability of resistanc...
