Abstract

The major objective of the research is to identify and locate quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in the Yugoslav maize population. The plants (F2) were selected for the analysis at seedling stage and were selfed to obtain F3 generation. The analysis covered about 15 enzymes controlled by about 30 loci. The seeds of F3 family planted in the greenhouse for measuring some quantitative traits, recorded tasselling and silking during vegetation. At the end of vegetation grain yield, and some other quantitative traits of grain in F3 family were assessed. The relationship between marker loci and the loci for quantitative traits (QTLs) were estimated by computerized statistical method.
