Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production
In maize, hybrid vigour is exploited by
bombarding the seeds with DNA
crossing of two inbred parental lines
harvesting seeds from the most productive plants
inducing matations
B.
crossing of two inbred parental lines
Hybrid varieties were first developed in maize, which is a cross-pollinated crop. In such crops, the parents of hybrid varieties are, ordinarily, inbred lines. A inbred line is a nearly homozygous line produced by continuous inbreeding in a cross-pollinated crop and is maintained by strict inbreeding. In maize, hybrid vigour or heterosis is exploited by crossing of two inbred parental lines.
