Summary

The effectiveness of recurrent selection vs. continuous inbreeding in improving smut resistance of a very susceptible flint corn was studied. Two cycles of recurrent selection were performed, and S 6 generation was reached in the inbreeding series.

Zusammenfassung

Mit dem Ziel der Verbesserung der Brandresistenz wurde die Wirksamkeit rekurrenter Selektion gegenüber fortgesetzter Inzucht an einem sehr anfälligen Hartmais untersucht. Die rekurrente Selektion wurde in zwei Zyklen durchgeführt, bei der Inzuchtserie wurde die S 6-Generation erreicht.
