IN SILICO AND GENETIC ANALYSIS RELATED TO TILLERING ABILITY IN MAIZE

Maize developed from its ancestor, teosinte, about 10,000 years ago. The evolution has gone teosinte with multiple tillers to single-tiller maize plants. An investigation took place identify and sequence genes related tillering ability in perform In silico analysis. Mating proceeded by manual pollination between the commercial hybrid SC2031 of (Zea mays L.) genotype Domiata (Durra rayyana). parents, F1 hybrids, their F2 progenies gained evaluation for ability. (low or no-tillers) exhibited fragments ranging 75 420 bp. fragment observed 262 bp size was nine out 10 low-tillering progenies. parent, a high-tillering variety, three 82 534 445 occurred bp, which may be responsible low ability, high were eluted gel, sequenced, submitted GenBank. predicted protein, T1-L, DNA parent molecular weight 6.69 kD pI 6.53, belonging GRAS family, plays an important role as transcriptional factors required adequate pattern radial rooting shooting. T1-H, 14.08 kD, 7.97, TEOSINTE BRANCHED 1, CYCLOIDEA, PCF1 (TCP) family that essential apical dominance.
