A new approach for evaluating maize transgressive segregants and their three-way cross potential in the S4 convergent breeding population.

The development of transgressive segregant (TS) selection on convergent breeding populations of S4 maize is a concept that is rarely applied. However, the development of TS is necessary to accelerate maize breeding pipelines. Therefore, the objectives of this study were (1) to develop the concept of TS selection and (2) to select S4 TS maize to be developed as hybrid cross parents.

Interaction of Genetic and Cultivation Technology in Maize Prolific and Productivity Increase.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Maize cultivation technology package development is a solution in increasing maize production, especially prolific maize. However, technology package evaluation has to be evaluated with interaction towards crop genetics. The purpose of this research is to discover the interaction between maize variety towards cultivation technology (plant fertilization and spacing) and to find information about secondary production characters in cultivation technique optimization.
