Maize is the first crop in the world concerning total production in tons per year. Big money and many scientific workers are working in maize breeding. Millions of new hybrid combinations are tested every year in order to find the best new hybrids. In spite of that, current hybrids have a pretty narrow genetic basis. The main goal in maize breeding is to create a new high yielding hybrid with good adaptability and yield stability. For that, a modern maize hybrid has to posses genes for tolerance against stress (drought and high temperatires), disease and pests. Another target in maize breeding is to create a new way of testing and to make testing new hybrid combinations more rapid and efficient and less expensive. Genetic variability in maize and conventional and modern techniques of biotechnology will provide enough capability to ensure continual progress in maize breeding. It means that we can expect even better maize hybrids in the future.
