INBREEDING LINES OF MAIZE – DONORS OF VALUABLE CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract

The article presents the results of estimating the donor characteristics of 16 lines of maize selected by the Transcarpathian State Agricultural Research Station of NAASU. 7 samples have been singled out that are donors of high productivity, viz.: ЗК 106/1, ЗК 315, ЗК 318, ЗК 326, ЗК 343/2, ЗК 347, ЗК 348. These lines were involved in tester interbreeding for further hybridization of maize of various groups of ripeness with an array of valuable economic characteristics. Keywords: maize, line, donor, characteristic, productivity, analyser, hybrid test
