- Combining ability is a concept in breeding processes that refers to the ability of cultivars to combine with one another through hybridization to pass on advantageous genes to their offspring123. It is defined as the ability of parents to combine amongst each other during the process of fertilization so that favourable genes or characters are transmitted to their progenies2. Two types of combining ability, general (GCA) and specific (SCA), have been recognized in quantitative genetics2.Learn more:✕This summary was generated using AI based on multiple online sources.
