Abstract excerpt
Four cycles of S(1) family recurrent selection to improve grain yield and resistance to Striga hermonthica have been completed in TZE-Y Pop STR C(0.) In order to determine whether or not to continue with the recurrent scheme, it was desirable to evaluate the amount of residual genetic variance and associated parameters in the population. The objective of this study was to characterize the relative changes in the...
