What is it about?
This article compares combining ability of sunflower inbred lines in normal and drought stressed condition to find better way to choice parent lines efficiently under drought stress

Why is it important?
This study show that selection of restorer lines for agronomic traits would be more efficient than the selection of maternal lines and It is concluded that combining ability is more stable for traits with higher heritability.
Perspectives
I hope this article be profitable to sunflower breeders in selection of inbred lines with higher productivity in related hybrids under drought condition.
