The use of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) is increasingly gaining acceptance from
all the stakeholders of the agricultural production. Different strains of PGPB species had …

The response to selection in any crop improvement program depends on the degree of
variance and heritability. The objective of the current study was to explain variance and …

Multi-trait selection helps breeders identify genotypes that appeal to divergent groups of
preferences. In this study, we performed simultaneous selection of sweet-waxy corn hybrids …

Maize is a commodity crop providing millions of people with food, feed, industrial raw
material and economic opportunities. However, maize yields in Africa are relatively stagnant …

Inbred line development requires information on the nature and magnitude of genetic
variability and transmissibility of desired trait in source populations. In this study, the level of …

Lacking elite haploid inducers performing high haploid induction rate (HIR) and agronomic
performance is one of fundamental factors hindering the rapid adoption of doubled haploid …

On-farm experiments were conducted in the Bandarban valley during dry season, October
2015 through March, 2016 to investigate the possibility of introducing white maize as human …

In a maize breeding program, pre-requisition entails an understanding of a population's
genetic variability and heritability. The present study was conducted at the Research and …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most widely cultivated grain crops globally. In sub-
Saharan Africa (SSA), it plays an important role in ensuring both food and income security …

This study was aimed to determine combining ability among some maize (Zea mays L.)
inbred lines. The crossing was carried out at Kalar Crop Research Center in the spring …
