Unraveling the genetic basis of general combining ability in CIMMYT elite bread wheat germplasm: implications for breeding strategies optimization

In wheat breeding programs, several hundred crosses are performed annually, but only individuals from a few families advance to the final stages of the breeding pipelines. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the general combining ability (GCA) of wheat genotypes might enhance the breeding efficienc...
