Identifying Dominant Alleles for Disease Resistance and Stalk Quality in Inbred Maize
Abstract
dc:descriptionA theory for identifying inbred lines (donor lines) containing dominant favorable alleles not contained in the parents of an F1 cross, was evaluated using both hypothetical and field data. The relative number of the loci containing dominant alleles in each donor line not present in the F1 is described by the statistic μG$\prime$. Donor lines with the highest μG$\prime$ values, would be used in a pedigree selection program to improve one or both parents of the F1 cross.
