Fifteen inbred lines were crossed to three testers of maize to estimate combining ability effects for maturity and yield traits. The produce 45 crosses, S.C. 168 and T.W.C. Giza 368 were evaluated across two years at the Farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Moshtohor, Benha University in RCBD with 3 replicates. Mean squares due to year (Y) genotypes (G)...

... combining ability effects (ĝi) calculated for each tester and lines (combined over two years) are presented in Table 4. High positive values would be of interest under all traits in question except that of days to maturity where high negative values would be useful from the breeder's point of view. ...Similar publications
Evaluating amaranthus genotypes in different locations is a key task for amaranthus improvement programs. Generally, at the farmers' level steady and high yielding genotypes that were identified are recommended for cultivation. For this purpose, 13 amaranthus genotypes were subjected to stability analysis to determine the nature and extent of genet...

... Many studies have shown that the additive gene effects were more important in the genetic expression of maize grain yield (Abd El-Mottalb et al. 2013, Abo El-Haress 2015, El-Hosary et al. 2018, Mutimaamba et al. 2019, Olayiwola et al. 2021. Other researchers, however, reported that non-additive genetic effects were predominates in the inheritance of maize grain yield and the majority of its components (Makumbi et al 2011, Attia et al 2015, Kamara 2015, Wani et al 2017, El-Hosary 2020, Mohamed 2020, El-Shahed et al 2021. ...
