Genetic purity and patterns of relationships among tropical highland adapted quality protein and normal maize inbred lines using microsatellite markers

2015-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Conversion of normal maize (Zea mays L.) into quality protein maize (QPM) significantly improves its nutritional value for humans and animals. Highland adapted normal maize inbred lines were backcrossed with selected QPM donor lines to incorporate the opaque-2 gene. The objectives of this study were to verify the genetic purity, determine the effect of conversion of normal maize lines to QPM and understand pattern...
