Corrigendum on: Manigben KA, Beyene Y, Chaikam V, Tongoona PB, Danquah EY, Ifie BE, Aleri I, Chavangi A, Prasanna BM and Gowda M (2024). Testcross performance and combining ability of intermediate maturing drought tolerant maize inbred lines in Sub-Saharan Africa. Front. Plant Sci. 15:1471041. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1471041 In the published article, there was an error in Figure 1 and 3 as published. Figures 1 and 3 were interchanged. The corrected Figure 1 and its caption are shown below: Figure 1. Frequency distribution of grain yield, anthesis date, silking date, anthesis–silking interval, plant height, and ear height recorded under managed drought and optimum conditions. Blue color denotes traits measured under drought stress and orange color denotes trait performance under optimum condition.The corrected Figure 3 and its caption are shown below:Figure 3. Proportional contribution of GCA-Line, GCA-Tester, and SCA-Line by Tester interaction to total genotype variance of testcrosses for GY and other secondary traits under drought (DS), optimum (Opt), and across all environments (ACR) conditions. The lower bar denoted by red color indicates the GCA-Line; the middle bar denoted by sea blue represents the GCA-Tester, and the upper bar denoted by yellow indicates the SCA-Line by Tester interaction.
