Effects of Dwarf Maize Inbred Lines 08H67-2 on the F1 Plant Type Characteristics
Hybridizations taking dwarf maize inbred lines 08H67-2 as maternal hne and 14 maize inbred lines as paternal lines were made to study the effects of 08H67-2 on the F1 plant height,ear height,the length and width of three leaves nearby corn ear and the uppermost leaf.The results showed that the plant height of F1 hybridized with dwarf maize inbred lines 08H67-2 was shorter,the ear height was lower,the quantity of leaves above corn ear were more,the distance of three leaves nearby corn ear was shorter.These traits were conducive to the increase of hybrid planting density.It was a successful example of maize ideal plant breeding.
