Genetic analysis of ear, husk, and tassel traits in tropical maize under diverse environments

Genetic analysis of ear, husk, and tassel traits in tropical maize under diverse environments

Grain yield (GY) in maize (Zea mays L.) is influenced by multiple component traits, with ear- and tassel-related traits playing a significant role. Despite their importance, these traits receive less emphasis in tropical maize breeding. This study aimed to: (i) assess the inheritance and heterosis o...
