Transferring a major QTL for oil content using marker-assisted backcrossing into an elite hybrid to increase the oil content in maize
2014-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Maize oil is highly valued as a human vegetable oil and in animal feed. The normal hybrid, Zhengdan958, is one of the most widely distributed varieties in China. To increase its oil content, a favorable allele of a major quantitative trait locus for oil content, qHO6 on chromosome 6 from the high-oil inbred line, By804, was transferred into the two parents of Zhengdan958, Zheng58, and Chang7-2, using marker-assist...
