Genetic improvement of breeding materials in tropical and sub- tropical maize [PDF]

Hereditas (Beijing), 2011
In the present study, 122 maize local cultivars and adapted exotic germplasm from Thailand were used to develop open pollinate varieties (OPVs) using modified ear-to-row scheme, top-cross or test-cross programmes. Ten new maize OPVs with distinct characters were created based on the precise breeding objectives and directional design.
