Exploitation of Genetic Variability for Quality and Agronomic Traits in QPM Germplasm (Zea mays L.)
The potential for exploiting genetic variability for high oil, protein and grain yield was studied for 169 QPM genotypes using a simple lattice design (13×13 structure) with two replications at each of two locations during rainy season of 2001. Results revealed significant desirable effects for grain yield and protein yield through higher values of genetic advance as percent of mean, heritability, genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation indicating that these two traits are under the control of additive gene effects. Ten best lines were identified for their good agronomic and quality traits, and especially entries 117,60, and 69 combined high per se yield with good quality characters. Hence, these lines could be utilized as donors in future breeding programmes to develop QPM hybrids.
