Genetic analysis of 10 diverse inbred lines (8 from local germplasm and 2 from AICRP
Maize) through half diallel mating design during Kharif-2012 and rabi 2012-13 at Dryland …

El conocimiento del tipo de acción génica que controla los caracteres agronómicos es
básico para la planeación y desarrollo de un programa de mejoramiento genético de maíz …

Abstract Knowledge about genetic composition of a character helps plant breeders to plan
their breeding programs. Grain yield and related traits are very important in maize breeding …

Five white kernel maize inbred lines with distinct genetic make-up were crossed in a 5 Ũ 5
complete diallel fashion during spring season 2011 at Cereal Crops Research Institute …

Seven S6 white maize inbred lines were derived from selfing of S4 inbred lines of two
populations; three way cross-324 and Giza-2 were used as parents of a 7 x 7 half-diallel …

A study was conducted on maize incorporating a total of 28 single crosses, eight parental
lines and two standard checks to determine the combining ability and gene action. Among …

The genotype and environment interaction (GEI) has always been a challenge as these are
the main concerns of breeders during the selection of suitable parents for breeding …

Hayman's component analysis was employed to ascertain the gene actions conditioning the
ear related traits viz., ear length, ear diameter, kernel rows per ear, kernels per row and …

The objectives of this study were to investigate the genetic effects on flowering traits in maize
and to determine the suitable families for potential use in the future breeding studies. Six …

The importance of maize has extended beyond human consumption into livestock feeds and
industrial uses in sub-Saharan Africa. However, increasing drought and infertile soils (Low …
