YIELD LOSSES DUE TO INBREEDING AND THE USE OF MOLECULAR MARKERS (RAPD) FOR ASSESSMENT OF GENETIC PURITY IN HYBRID CORN (Zea Mays L.)

YIELD LOSSES DUE TO INBREEDING AND THE USE OF MOLECULAR MARKERS (RAPD) FOR ASSESSMENT OF GENETIC PURITY IN HYBRID CORN (Zea Mays L.)

The production of hybrid corn (Zea mays L.) requires the complete removal of pollen of the female parent prior to pollination. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the percentage of female selfed plants that results in losses due to inbreeding and to assess the usefulness of RAPD approach i...
