In the present project, three research lines related to the introgression of exotic germplasm will be considered. All the populations taken as basic material belong to the Department of Genetics (ESALQ/USP). [I]: Twelve semi-exotic populations will be evaluated in crosses with two local testers following the partial diallel scheme (12 x 2), including the 14 parental populations, 24 F1 cro…
This project is characterized by the multiplicity of actions around a central theme: the genetic improvement of maize (Zea mays). Various lines of research are presented, covering aspects of improvement methodologies, introgression and exploration of new germplasmas, synthesis and improvement of populations, nutritional quality and resistance to stresses, particularly pests and diseases. …
