Breeding for Economically Valuable and High Yielding Varieties of Corn at Maubin University Mar Mar Aye NI Ni Oo HlaHla Win Aye Thet Khaing Tin Yu Maw Ei Ei Khaing Taing Aung Four genotypes of corn acquired from 1. Canada (CAN): 2. Oak Pho (OKB): 3. Prome (PROp) and 4. The⁄Kone (TKO) were grown in field plots at Maubin University Campus. Ten plants for each genotype were grown in rows, and plants in each row represent for a specific genotype. A total of three field plots were grown as replicates in June 2019. Open pollination between the plants within the field plots (Natural hybridization between the plants from all the different genotypes) resulted. Self-pollination within the same plants among all the genotypes were also effected, thus produced selffed seeds (kernels). Three specific hybrids between the genotypes from Canada; Oakpho; Prome and The⁄Kone were also produced and generated as F2 population. A population of fifty individuals cobs (F2 population) with a large number variability, with respect to different cob shape and size; different kernel (seed) size, shape and colour were selected from these F2 population. These populations of F2 kernels (seeds) represented a very high degree of variable genotypes of corn. It is highly probable that the diverse genotypes in the variable kernels (seeds) that were generated should give rise to many different plant types, from which desirable genotypes of corn plants will be selected for the ongoing Breeding Project.
