Canonical interrelationships in morphological characters, yield and nutritional components of corn

The increase in the world population, need to food production, both quantity and quality, becomes increasingly prominent. objective of this work was identify canonical correlations between yield components, morphological characters, micronutrients, bioactive compounds amino acids corn. experimental design used a randomized block containing 11 treatments arranged three replications. consisted Top Crosses hybrid genotypes, these being made through crosses directed narrow genetic base tester for specific combining ability with S5 inbred lines. It is inferred that groups considered secondary traits, compounds, micronutrients are dependent. Promising characters identified corn breeding high yields, nutritional energetic quality grains. indirect selection grains additions essential can be plants superiority height, mass width grains, phenols, flavonoids, soluble solids zinc content.
