Potential use of molecular markers for prediction of genotypic values in hybrid maize performance

M. Balestre, Von Pinho, R. G., Souza, J. C., and Oliveira, R. L., Potential use of molecular markers for prediction of genotypic values in hybrid maize performance, vol. 8, pp. 1292-1306, 2009.

We evaluated the potential of genetic distances estimated by microsatellite markers for the prediction of the performance of single-cross maize hybrids. We also examined the potential of molecular markers for the prediction of genotypic values and the applicability of the Monte Carlo method for a correlation of genetic distances and grain yield. Ninety S0:2 progenies derived from three single-cross hybrids were analyzed. All 90 progenies were genotyped with 25 microsatellite markers, including nine markers linked to quantitative trait loci for grain yield.
