Abstract:A breeding program based on heterosis exploitation needs the knowledgment of the germplasm to produce good combinations in superior hybrids. A study was conducted to evaluate inbred lines, derived from synthetic maize CMS 61, in a diallel mating design. The identified lines could be possible nominees for superior yielding hybrids combinations with a flint heterotic group. Ten inbred were crossed to form 45 single crosses. Parental inbred and crosses together with a single cross commercial hybrid were evaluated… Show more
