Individual genetic factors which underlie variation in quantitative traits of maize were
investigated in each of two F2 populations by examining the mean trait expressions of …

Because traits such as grain yield are polygenically inherited and strongly influenced by
environment, determination of genotypic values from phenotypic expression is not precise …

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms have become powerful tools for genetic
investigations in plant species. They allow a much greater degree of genome saturation with …

Genetic factors controlling quantitative inheritance of grain yield and its components have
not previously been investigated by using replicated lines of an elite maize (Zea mays L.) …

Plant breeders have an interest in the identification of genomic regions associated with the
expression of quantitative traits because they recognize that such information could be used …

In an earlier study for identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) a maize (Zea mays L.)
population generated from the cross B73× Mo17, a major effect on grain yield and yield …

Maize has been used effectively as a model organism in the development and evaluation of
molecular markers for the identification, mapping and manipulation of major genes affecting …

The utility of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in detecting quantitative trait
loci (QTL) in maize (Zea mays L.) populations has been established. Conflicting results have …

The aim of this investigation was to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with grain
yield and yield components in maize and to analyze the role of epistasis in controlling these …

This study was conducted to determine if, in crosses among elite inbred lines of maize (Zea
mays L.) that are more similar morphologically than the lines used in previous studies …
