Combining Ability and Heterosis in Diallel Analysis of Maize (Zea mays L.) Lines

Onejeme, Francis Chukwuma; Okporie, Emmanuel Ogbonna; Eze, Chinedu Emmanuel (AIJR Publisher, 2020)

A sound breeding program for maize improvement is very important to meet the demands of the growing population. Therefore, combining ability and heterosis were studied in a 4 x 4 full diallel cross in maize for growth ...
Detection of Non-Additive Gene Action within Elite Maize Populations Evaluated in Contrasting Environments under Rainforest Ecology in Nigeria

Akinwale, Richard Olutayo; Eze, Chinedu Emmanuel; Traore, Diakaridia; Menkir, Abebe (Crop Breeding, Genetics and Genomics, 2021-01)

Proper understanding of the mode of gene action in open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) maize parents helps breeder in the choice of appropriate breeding method to improve its genetic value. The objectives of the present study ...
Effectiveness of different alpha lattice designs in the evaluation of maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes in a rainforest agro-ecology

Akinwale, Richard Olutayo; Odunlami, Love Kayode; Eze, Chinedu Emmanuel; Oladejo, Atanda Samuel (Heliyon, 2021-06)

Plant breeding experiments require the use of appropriate experimental designs that will efficiently block variation due to wide heterogeneity nature of tropical soils. The primary objective of this study was to assess ...
Gene Action and Heterotic Response of Elite Maize Varieties under Varying Growing Conditions in Rain-Forest Agro-Ecology of Nigeria

Eze, Chinedu Emmanuel (WASCAL, 2020-01)

Several maize breeding programs use open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) as a source of genetic variability and favourable alleles of target traits. Drought tolerant and provitamin A (PVA) maize hybrids are needed to address ...
