Number of recombinations and genetic properties of a maize population undergoing recurrent selection Número de recombinações e as propriedades genéticas de uma população de milho sob seleção recorrente

In maize recurrent selection programs, selected genotypes were recombined once to generate genetic variability for the next selection cycle. Selection generates negative gametic phase disequilibrium which reduces genetic variances, and this disequilibrium is not significantly reduced with only one g...
