Journal Article
Quality protein maize
TL;DR: The salient sequence of events associated with the development of Quality Protein Maize, the present understanding of genetic, biochemical and molecular bases of QPM, and the recent technological developments that could potentially enhance the efficiency of Q PM breeding and the reach ofQPM cultivars are dealt with.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential path model for determining interrelationships among grain yield and related characters in maize
TL;DR: The results indicated the utility of the sequential path model for determining the interrelationships among grain yield and related traits in maize.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tolerance to excess moisture in maize (Zea mays L.): susceptible crop stages and identification of tolerant genotypes
TL;DR: A screening technique was developed/standardized, and was found to be an efficient technique for large-scale screening of maize genotypes against excess soil moisture stress, and remarkable variability was found among the genotypes studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-generation marker-aided backcrossing for rapid conversion of normal maize lines to quality protein maize (QPM)

TL;DR: The integrated breeding strategy reported here can be applied to reduce genetic drag as well as the time involved in a conventional line conversion program, and would prove valuable in rapid development of specialty corn germplasm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and validation of QTLs conferring resistance to sorghum downy mildew ( Peronosclerospora sorghi ) and Rajasthan downy mildew ( P. heteropogoni ) in maize
TL;DR: The results confirmed that some common QTLs contribute to both SDM and RDM resistance, while additional loci might specifically govern resistance to SDM.
