Genetic Dissection of the General Combining Ability of Yield-Related Traits in Maize

Genetic Dissection of the General Combining Ability of Yield-Related Traits in Maize

Maize yield components including row number, kernel number per row, kernel thickness, kernel width, kernel length, 100-kernel weight, and volume weight affect grain yield directly. Previous studies mainly focused on dissecting the genetic basis of per se performances for yield-related traits, but th...
