Inheritance of resistance to maize lethal necrosis in tropical maize inbred lines

Inheritance of resistance to maize lethal necrosis in tropical maize inbred lines

Maize (Zea mays L.) production in sub-Saharan Africa can be improved by using hybrids with genetic resistance to maize lethal necrosis (MLN). This study aimed to assess the general (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA), reciprocal effects, and quantitative genetic basis of MLN resistance and ag...
