Enhancing Introgression of the Opaque-2 Trait into Elite Maize Lines Using Simple Sequence Repeats

To improve on the efficiency of Quality Protein Maize (QPM) breeding in Uganada, the utility of three simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers (phi057, phi112 and umc1066) in selection and introgression of the opaque-2 (o2) gene was investigated. Genomic DNA of six normal and seven (QPM) lines was anal...
