Genetic analysis of resistance to nematodes in inbred maize (Zea mays L.) and maize hybrids

Nematodes cause substantial grain yield loss in susceptible maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars. This study was conducted to estimate general combining ability (GCA), specific combining ability (SCA) and genetic effects associated with nematode resistance in maize. The 30 F1 hybrids generated from a 6 × 6...
