Heterofertilization of the opaque-2 endosperm in maize.

Hereditas - 1 Oct 2008

Yang Wenpeng, Zheng Yonglian, Wu Jing

Abstract excerpt

Selection on endosperm traits among individual kernels is very important in maize because the characteristics of the kernel, especially the endosperm, are directly related to quality and yield. However the accuracy of the selection according to endosperm phenotype may be affected by heterofertilization. The objective of this work was to investigate the frequency of heterofertilization of opaque-2 (o2) kernels in...
