Inbreeding depression of 28 maize elite open pollinated varieties

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2002
The study of inbreeding depression is important for breeding strategies such as use of inbred progenies or extraction of inbreed lines. A diallel of 28 maize open-pollinated varieties was evaluated in 10 environments in the early 1990s. At the same time,
