Responses to reciprocal recurrent selection and changes in genetic variability in IG-1 and IG-2 maize populations

Responses to reciprocal recurrent selection and changes in genetic variability in IG-1 and IG-2 maize populations

This paper reports the effects of three cycles of reciprocal recurrent selection (RRS) on the means, genetic variances, and on the genetic correlations for several traits in the IG-1 and IG-2 maize (Zea mays L.) populations. Interpopulation full-sib progenies from cycle zero (C0) and from cycle 3 (C...
