Abstract:
Data on 30 three-way maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids formed from 5 inbred lines were subjected to the combining ability type of analysis. The relative importance of general and specific line effects in maize three-way hybrids was studied by the Ponnuswamy and Das (1973) method. It was also shown that this analysis provides the breeder with the basic information necessary to choosing proper breeding materials and in deciding the order in which they should be combined to get desirable three-way hybrids.

02:27Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...
