Genetic effects conferring heat tolerance in a cross of tolerant × susceptible maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes

Genetic effects conferring heat tolerance in a cross of tolerant × susceptible maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes

Incessant rise in ambient temperature is threatening sustainability of maize productions, worldwide. Breeding heat resilient synthetics/hybrids is the most economical tool while lack of knowledge of gene action controlling heat and yield relevant traits in maize is hampering progress in this regard....
