Using genomic data to improve the estimation of general combining ability based on sparse partial diallel cross designs in maize

Evaluation of general combining ability (GCA) is crucial to hybrid breeding in maize. Although the complete diallel cross design can provide an efficient estimation, sparse partial diallel cross (SPDC) is more flexible in breeding practice. Using real and simulated data sets of partial diallel cross...
