Combining Ability of Extra-Early Maize Inbreds Derived from a Cross between Maize and <i>Zea diploperennis</i> and Hybrid Performance under Contrasting Environments
Knowledge of the genetic mechanisms conditioning drought tolerance in maize is crucial to the success of hybrid breeding programs aimed at developing high-yielding cultivars under drought. The objectives of this study were to determine the combining ability of extra-early inbreds, compute the herita...
