Variance Components and Correlations between Doubled Haploid Lines from Two European Flint Landraces and Their Corresponding Testcrosses for Gibberella Ear Rot Resistance, Silking Time, and Plant Height in Maize

Predicting the resistance of hybrids from lines is a relevant approach for accelerating the improvement of disease resistance in hybrid breeding. In this study, genetic variation and covariation among 76 DH lines from two flint landraces, Kemater (KE) and Petkuser (PE), and their corresponding testc...
