Variable Level of Dominance of Candidate Genes Controlling Drought Functional Traits in Maize Hybrids

Variable Level of Dominance of Candidate Genes Controlling Drought Functional Traits in Maize Hybrids

Breeding maize for drought tolerance necessitates the knowledge on tolerant genotypes, molecular basis of drought tolerance mechanism, action, and expression pattern of genes. Studying the expression pattern and gene action of candidate genes during drought stress in the hybrids will help in choosin...
