Other claims from this paper (15)
- Observation General and specific combining ability effects were significant for maize ear number.
- Observation General and specific combining ability effects were significant for maize multiple-ear-weight index.
- Observation The GCA to SCA fixed-effects variance ratio for ear number ranged from 3.7:1 to 7.4:1.
- Observation The GCA to SCA fixed-effects variance ratio for MEWI ranged from 2.5:1 to 7.2:1.
- Association Higher GCA to SCA variance ratios were usually associated with low population density.
- Observation Phenotypic correlations and GCA-effect correlations were strongly positive for the time intervals.
- Association Silking interval was negatively correlated with both ear number and MEWI.
- Observation GCA effects were highly significant for the time periods between developmental stages.
- Association The time period between initiation of the first and second ear shoot was negatively correlated with ear number (r = -0.57).
- Association The time period between initiation of the first and second ear shoot was negatively correlated with MEWI (r = -0.63).
- Observation Additive gene effects were highly significant for ear number and MEWI.
- Observation Dominance effects were significant for MEWI.
- Observation Ear number and MEWI were negatively correlated with the time periods between ear shoot and silk developmental stages.
- Association A greater frequency of second ears occurred on plants with fewer nodes above the first ear in one pair of related lines.
- Mechanism A single locus or group of linked loci accounts for most of the variation in ear number in two pairs of related lines.
