since crosses of lines with suitable genetic distance produce excellent hybrids, the identification of genetic diversity between zea mays l. inbred lines in hybrid maize breeding programs has a high priority. a total of 27 inbred lines plus b73 and mo17 (sc704 parents) were evaluated by 15 inter-simple sequence repeat (issr) primers. inbreds were selected randomly from inbred lines from the agr...

Contemporary groups are used to remove biases from genetic evaluations due to differential effects such as management associated with the grouping. Numerous groups, however, can result in small numbers of records per subclass with associated loss of effective number of daughters for sire evaluation and increased prediction error variance. Thus, in practice, mean square error, bias squared plus ...
