Discerning combining ability loci for divergent environments using chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) in pearl millet.

Pearl millet is an important crop for arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Genomic regions associated with combining ability for yield-related traits under irrigated and drought conditions are useful in heterosis breeding programs. Chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) are excellent gene...
