Heterosis analysis for grain yield traits in Maize (Zea mays L.)

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2018
In the present study 6 inbreds were used as parents to make crosses in all possible cross combination in full diallel fashion to obtain total 30 possible F1 hybrids. These 30 F1’s were subjected to heterosis analysis for midparental, heterobeltiosis and

Standard Heterosis for Grain Yield and its Attributing Traits in Early Maturing Maize Hybrids

International Journal of Plant & Soil Science, 2021
The present study was conducted at the research farm of Dryland Agriculture Research Station, SKUAST-Kashmir during the kharif of 2019. Range of heterosis was calculated over standard check. The most desirable cross combinations viz., KDM-440 x KDM-914A (-5.879), KDM-440 x V-335 (-4.468), KDM-930 x V-351(-4.165), KDM-927A x V-335 (-3.986), CML-470 x ...

Standard heterosis and trait association of maize inbred lines using line x tester mating design in Ethiopia [PDF]

African Journal of Plant Science, 2020
Maize is one of the high priority crops to feed the ever increasing population in Africa, however, its production limited by shortage of high yielding variety coupled with biotic and abiotic stresses. The study was initiated to evaluate the heterotic performances of the F1 hybrids over the standard checks (Kolba and Jibat). Fifty entries consists 48 F1
