Gene action for protein content of maize grain in diallel cross
2002
Shabbir, G. (Barani Agricultural Research Inst., Chakwal (Pakistan)) | Saleem, M.
The nature of gene action was studied for protein content of maize grain in a set of 6x6 complete diallel cross involving six maize inbred lines. the wr-vr graph indicated additive type of gene action. Inbred line Antigua-I possessed most dominant genes for protein percentage, whereas A-556 carried most recessive genes for the trait. The results suggest that mass selection could be practiced to alter the trait.
