9783330008366: Heterosis and Combining Ability Analysis in Maize (Zea mays L.)

Synopsis

This book will provide a detailed insight on the concept of heterosis and combining ability and its implications in practical plant breeding. The heterosis and combining ability are the most important factors which need to be considered while planning the breeding program in any crop. This book comprises the introduction of the concept, the work done by various researchers, the methodology and material adopted, the results and the final research findings in very precise manner. This book will be useful to the students of plant breeding in understanding the concept of heterosis and combining ability and its practical analysis. The book will be also useful to device the research program aimed at exploitation of heterosis and combining ability analysis of available genotypes to isolate the promising hybrids and parents to develop high yielding hybrids and varieties of maize as well as other field crops. The subject matter covered in this book is vast enough to suitably meet the needs of students and early stage researchers. The simple and lucid description makes the book unique in the subject.
