tailieunhanh - CRTM-2: Maize with effective tillering trait

Maize genotypes with effective tillers from a natural mutant with ineffective tillers are being developed at Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture, Hyderabad, India. Teosinte (Zea mays ssp. luxurians) and maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) cultivars - African tall (fodder maize) and harsha (composite) were included for development of CRIDA tillering maize. CRTM-2 had five effective tillers similar to teosinte, with a total height of cm, leaves and filled cobs for the single plant. CRTM-2 showed an increase of , and over the varietal check/parent harsha while the increase was , and 2350 % over check /parent African tall and increase was , and - % over check/parent teosinte, for plant height, number of leaves and number of filled cobs respectively averaged over four seasons viz; 2016 (kharif and rabi), 2017 kharif and 2018 kharif. CRTM-2 had tillers like teosinte and the shape of cobs and seed type of Zea mays ssp. mays. Six SSR primers were employed for understanding the similarity between CRTM-2 and its parents. The dendrogram showed that CRTM-2 formed cluster with teosinte, African tall and harsha indicating that these are the parents which introgressed in the development of CRTM-2. This tillering maize can be source material for innovative concept of developing new tillering maize varieties with effective cobs and significantly higher productivity and production of feed, fodder and food for animals, poultry and humans apart from industrial uses. | EXCELLENT PUBLISHERS International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 05 2019 Journal homepage http Original Research Article https CRTM-2 Maize with Effective Tillering Trait N.
