Absence of Epistasis for Grain Yield in Elite Maize Hybrids
نویسنده
چکیده
ABSTRACT Measures of epistasis in maize hybrids have been estimated by (i) triple-test crosses, (ii) making comparisons Certain maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines are more successful than of single, three-way, and double cross hybrids, or (iii) others in forming elite hybrids. This study was conducted to determine measuring variance components (Hallauer and Miwhether epistatic interactions play a significant role in hybrid perfor-

Evaluation of Water Deficit Tolerance Indices in New Hybrids of Maize (Zea mays L.) with SIMMYT Origin
Regarding the insufficient water resources, developing of cultivars with high tolerance to water deficit can be very effective to optimize water consumption. To identify maize hybrids with higher tolerance to water deficit, 52 single cross hybrids were field evaluated according to a randomized complete block design with three replications in each irrigation regime. The hybrids were produced thr...
متن کاملEffect of fertilizer management and the application of zeolite on agronomic traits and grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids under deficit irrigation conditions
Drought stress is considered as the most important limiting factor for growing of crops such as maize. Under low irrigation conditions, proper nutrition of plants can improve the effects of drought stress. This experiment was carried out in order to investigate the effect of nutrition management along with application of zeolite on agronomic traits of two hybrids of maize under deficit irrigati...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Selection of desirable hybrids compared to other maize hybrids (Zea mays L.) is one of the methods used to achieve high grain yield in maize. Also, the most important morphological features affecting grain yield can be used in the selection and introduction of genotypes. Material and Methods: This study was conducted to investigate the relationshi...

In order to investigate effect of application of Nitroxin and nitrogen chemical fertilizer on yield and yield components, split plot experiment on the basis of Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications was conducted. Four levels of Nitrogen fertilizer (N1: 100% chemical fertilizer, N2: 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% biological fertilizer, N3: 50% chemical fertilizer + 100% biologi...
متن کاملCombining Ability among Twenty Insect Resistant Maize inbred lines Resistant to Chilo partellus and Busseola fusca Stem borers
A partial diallel design was used among 20 maize inbred lines to form 110 F1 hybrids to generate information on the values of these lines for developing insect resistant maize varieties during the short rains season of 2006. The hybrids were evaluated for resistance to the C. partellus and B. fusca, and for agronomic performance over two seasons during long and short rains of 2007 at a mid-alti...
