Secondary Traits for Maize (Zea mays L.) Tolerance to Drought Combined with Reduced N Fertilization Rate

A. M. M. Al- Naggar, M. M. Shafik & R. Y. M. Musa · Asian Journal of Agricultural and Horticultural Research · 2020

The secondary trait for a given abiotic stress tolerance, should be of strong correlation (r) with grain yield, high heritability (h2b) and high genetic advance (GA) under stressed conditions. The main objective of the present investigation was to identify secondary trait(s) for...

Response of Maize (Zea mays L.) to Deficit Irrigation Combined with Reduced Nitrogen Rate is Genotype Dependent

A. M. M. Al-Naggar, M. M. Shafik & R. Y. M. Musa · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2020

Deficit irrigation and low nitrogen (N) fertilization rate cause negative effects on maize grain productivity; such effects differ from genotype to genotype. The main objectives of the present investigation were to: (i) identify the drought and low N tolerant genotypes, (ii) esti...

Genetic Diversity Based on Morphological Traits of 19 Maize Genotypes Using Principal Component Analysis and GT Biplot

A. M. M. Al-Naggar, M. M. Shafik & R. Y. M. Musa · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2020

Among the phenotypic, biochemical, and molecular methods employed in assessment of genetic diversity, the phenotypic method has proven efficient for the assessment, description and classification of germplasm collections to enhance their use in maize breeding. The objectives of t...
