Genetic Analysis of Maize (Zea mays L.) Endosperm Vitreousness and Related Hardness Traits in the Intermated B73 × Mo17 Recombinant Inbred Line Population
2010-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Variation for maize (Zea mays L.) kernel vitreousness is of interest in the improvement of maize for human and ruminant nutrition based on its connection with starch degradability in the rumen as well as the concentration of lysine and other essential amino acids. In this trial, 199 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from the intermated B73 and Mo17 (IBM) population and 133 testcrosses of the IBM RIL with inbred W604...
