Abstract excerpt
Embryo is a key determinant of kernel-oil in maize. Higher calorific value of maize kernel is attributed to increment in kernel-oil and it stores in specialised structure called embryo. Understanding the genetic behaviour of embryo size and weight related-traits is inevitable task for genetic improvement of kernel-oil. Here, the six-basic generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1P1 and BC1P2) of three crosses...
