Genome Wide Association Study for Drought, Aflatoxin Resistance, and Important Agronomic Traits of Maize Hybrids in the Sub-Tropics
The primary maize (Zea mays L.) production areas are in temperate regions throughout the world and this is where most maize breeding is focused. Important but lower yielding maize growing regions such as the sub-tropics experience unique challenges, the greatest of which are drought stress and aflatoxin contamination. Here we used a diversity panel consisting of 346 maize inbred lines originati...
متن کاملGenotypic stabilization of agronomic traits in Panicum maximum (Jacq.) hybrids
The objective of this study was to evaluate the genotypic stability of agronomic traits in hybrids of Panicum maximum. Hybrids originating from the crosses between two sexual parents and cultivars Mombasa and Tanzania were evaluated in an incomplete-block design. Evaluated traits were total dry matter, leaf dry matter, stem dry matter, percentage of leaves, and leaf:stem ratio. These traits wer...
متن کاملGenetic improvement of Grain Yield by Determination of Selection Index in Single Cross Hybrids of Maize (Zea mays L.)
Selection based on proper selection indices can be one of the most effective methods for indirect selection of yield and yield components, simultaneously. In order to determination of selection index for improvement of maize yield, 60 single cross maize hybrids were planted in two separate experiments (drought stress and normal conditions) based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with t...
متن کاملTranslating Biochemistry to Breeding for High Carotenoid Traits in Maize
Combined use of association mapping and linkage analysis is highly effective in the identification of loci governing quantitatively inherited traits. In this strategy, the underlying genetic basis and function of QTL can be tested through a hypothesis driven approach that draws upon biochemical information from model species. Results from the linkage mapping experiment can then be reconsidered ...
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...
