VARIABILITY STUDIES FOR QUALITY PARAMETERS AND YIELDS IN SOME SELECTED MODIFIED HARD ENDOSPERM MAIZE (QPM) GENOTYPES

摘要

Per se performances of grain yield, quality parameters and their nature of genetic inheritance were studied in 37-selected QPM germplasm during khan/ 2000. Specific gravity, 100-kernel weight and tryptophan and lysine per cent in protein found as primary quality traits to improve QPM genotypes along with yield. Few specific genotypes for yield and quality parameters were identified for their future use as donor parents in development of high yielding QPM hybrids.
