To estimate the genetic variability, characters association and path analysis for the various characters, the characters of 39 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were evaluated from pre-monsoon season crops cultivated in 2024 at the Department of Plant Breeding, Physiology and Ecolo...

Waxy corn (Zea mays L. var. ceratina) which has relatively low productivity can be improved by assembling hybrid and synthetic corn. The combining ability of each inbred line could be used to assemble the waxy corn hybrid. This information is needed to design future waxy corn dev...
