Estimation of heterosis for kernel yield and its attributing traits in maize (Zea mays L.)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study was undertaken to estimate the magnitude of heterosis forty-five hybrids derived from fourteen parents (9 line and 5 tester) maize through × tester mating design. These were evaluated for kernel yield its component characters over better parent standard check. analysis revealed that heterobeltiosis per plant ranged -36.33 68.64 cent, while -10.56 100.99 cent. cross viz., BLD 2 103, 98, WNC 40406 125, 40080 125 VL 109178 possessed highest value in significant desirable direction. While crosses 114 IMR 113, 103 52646 recorded positive check GAYMH 1.

Estimation of heterosis for grain yield components in Maize (Zea mays L.)
Heterosis plays an important role in achieving improvement in crop production. About 69 F 1 hybrids obtained by crossing twenty three lines and three testers in a line × tester fashion were used to derive the information on degree of heterosis over mid, better and standard parent in maize. Sixty nine crosses and their parents including one check CoH(M)5 were evaluated in a Randomized Block Desi...

A line × tester analysis was conducted in maize involving 12 lines and 3 testers for grain yield and its components to determine the heterosis as well as general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) effects. Highly significant genotypic differences were observed indicated wide range of variability present among the genotypes. GCA and SCA variance for yield per plant numb...
متن کاملPhenotypic Stability of Zea mays Grain Yield and Its Attributing Traits under Drought Stress
Phenotypic stability under stress environment facilitate the fitness of genotype and opens new horizons to explore the cryptic genetic variation. Variation in tolerance to drought stress, a major grain yield constraint to global maize production, was identified, at the phenotypic and genotypic level. Here we found a prominent hybrid H9 that showed fitness over four growing seasons for grain yie...
متن کاملGenetic Analysis for Yield Potential and Quality Traits in Maize (Zea mays L.)
Abstract: Grain yield is a complex phenomenon which results from the interaction of various contributing factors highly influenced by environmental variation. Phenotypic selection cannot directly improve the characters in heterozygous crops like maize unless dissected by genetic analysis. Gene action for various quantitative and qualitative traits was explored in a complete set of diallel invol...
متن کاملMaize (Zea mays L.).
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation is an effective method for introducing genes into maize. In this chapter, we describe a detailed protocol for genetic transformation of the maize genotype Hi II. Our starting plant material is immature embryos cocultivated with an Agrobacterium strain carrying a standard binary vector. In addition to step-by-step laboratory transformation proced...
