Studies on Combining Ability for Grain Yield and its Attributing Traits in Maize (Zea mays L.)

T. Balaji Goud, B. Santhosh Kumar Naik, I. Sudhir Kumar, G. Mohan Naidu & M. Reddi Sekhar · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2025

Developing a hybrid with high vigour and productivity requires the careful selection and crossing of parent lines that show a favourable combining ability to harness the potential of heterosis fully. Combining ability gives insights into the potential of inbred lines that can be...

Genetic Diversity through D2 Analysis in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Shruthi Shimoga Prabhakar, M. Shanthi Priya, B. Santhosh Kumar Naik, P. Karthik Reddy & Posaboina Venkata Madhusudhan · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2025

Aims: Tomatoes rank as the second most important vegetable crop globally, following potatoes. The study was conducted to determine the genetic diversity among the tomato germplasm. Genetic diversity analysis helps identify distant parental lines that can be used to develop superi...
