Heterosis and line-by-tester combining ability analysis for grain yield and provitamin A in maize por Tabu, I., Lubobo, K., Mbuya, K., Kimuni, N.

“…Developing a high-yielding and provitamin A-rich maize variety is one of the best approaches to reduce malnutrition and increase production, especially in regions where maize is a staple food, such as, the former Katanga Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, it requires a good knowledge of combining ability and heterosis for grain yield and provitamin A. …”
