Pre-emptive breeding to combine superior eating quality in tropical super sweet corn with resistance to major diseases

摘要: This report presents the process and outcomes of a five year project, which employed genetics breeding approach for integrating disease resistance,agronomy quality traits that enhances sustainable productivity improvement in sweet corn production. The outlines molecular markers based to introgress quantitative loci are believed contribute resistance downy mildew, potentially devastating threatens other similar crops. It also details followed integrate resistances major diseases such as southern rust (caused by Puccinia polysora Underw), Northern Corn Leaf Blight (Exserohilum turcicum) with improved agronomy eating quality. explains importance heterosis (hybrid vigour) combining ability development useful hybrids. relevance parental performance predict its value
