In this study, we considered five categories of molecular markers in clonal F1 and double cross populations, based on the number of distinguishable alleles and the number of distinguishable genotypes at the marker locus. Using the completed linkage maps, incomplete and missing markers were imputed as fully informative markers in order to simplify the linkage mapping approaches of quantitative t...

Mali experiences irregular and poor distribution of rains which limit maize production greatly. The study objective was to evaluate the performance various hybrids as well determine general specific combining ability lines under water limited conditions. Two trials were conducted at Sotuba Kassela in South-Western with 23 genotypes first trial 15 second trial. experimental design a completely r...

Crop stage-specific information on the impacts of projected climate change crop and irrigation water requirements are essential for improving productivity. This study investigated possible implications phenology, effective rainfall (Peff), (CWR) (IWR) maize in eight locations India. CWR, Peff IWR were estimated seven stages viz., emergence, 5th leaf stage, tasseling, silking, milking, dough mat...

Development, testing and selection of superior inbred lines is crucial for the success a hybrid program targeting Striga-infested low soil nitrogen (low-N) environments. The practical value determined by multiple traits, most which are inter-dependent. main objective this study was to identify early maturing based on traits under optimal, low-N environments development population improvement. O...

Few studies have reported on the flowering time mechanism of tropical maize under short-day conditions. Drought, another important factor that affects time, has been to delay silking date in maize. However, due lack genetic information related maize, by which drought delays is unclear. To further understand this process, we analyzed drought-responsive genes using RNA sequencing and identified i...

in order to study the effects of planting pattern on yield and yield components in different cultivars of forage corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted at saline conditions (ec=6.43 ds.m-1) of dasht-e-malhe, neyshabour during growing season of 2009-2010. nine treatments and two furrow planting and furrow bed planting as main plots and three cultivars (ksc 704, zp 644 and ns540) as sub ...

Combining ability for grain yield and other traits were evaluated in a half diallel fashion maize. Eight yellow maize inbred lines crossed excluding the reciprocals during summer season of 2018 at Gemmeiza station, resulting 28F1 along with check SC168 two locations (Gemmeiza Sids) 2019 season. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) four replications was used. Mean squares GCA SCA highly sig...
