Qualitative Characteristics and Genetic Parameters of F3 Purple Corn Lines from Open Pollination Hybridization

Purple corn is a cereal plant that has health benefits. contains anthocyanins, which are useful as anticancer and antioxidants, high nutritional value. Improving the quality of production can be done through breeding. This study aimed to determine value variability, heritability expected genetic advance F3 purple from open-pollinated hybridization. The research was conducted December 2020 April 2021 at Universitas Bangka Belitung. used single design experimental method. selection ear row. results showed color seeds line dominated by orange. lines have different quantitative characters. most were F3-PXU-11-25, F3-PXU-6-16, F3-PXU-11-20. phenotypic variability genotypic broad criteria found in weight cob with husk without husk. on progress characters length, 100 seeds, husk,
