Hybrid Breeding for MLN Resistance: Heterosis, Combining Ability, and Hybrid Prediction

Hybrid Breeding for MLN Resistance: Heterosis, Combining Ability, and Hybrid Prediction

Prior knowledge on heterosis and quantitative genetic parameters on maize lethal necrosis (MLN) can help the breeders to develop numerous resistant or tolerant hybrids with optimum resources. Our objectives were to (1) estimate the quantitative genetic parameters for MLN disease severity, (2) invest...
