| Summary, etc. |
Exotic germplasm (i.e., germplasm beyond the breeder’s target area) has traditionally been used to broaden the genetic base of local (germplasm within the breeder’s target area) populations, but little has been done to assess gains that could be induced by this breeding practice in the sub-tropical regions of Africa. Here, eight maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines developed from pedigree crosses of exotic and local (i.e., sub-tropically adapted lines; STALs) were inter-mated together with six elite STALs, in a partial diallel mating scheme, in order to depict yield gains that can be made when exotic genes are integrated within the sub-tropical maize germplasm pool. The crossing scheme yielded a total of 91 F1s which were evaluated together with nine commercial checks in multi-environmental trials (METs) at eight locations representing agro-ecologies in which maize is predominantly grown in Zimbabwe. Across site Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed differences in grain yield (GY) performance of the F1s. Significant genotype x environment effects was also detected for GY (i.e., GEI; p < 0.05). F1s of parents with a temperate background [i.e., P7 (S) x P2 (T)] showed the highest GY potential (e.g., G44; GY = 10.52 tha−1). Apart from showing high GY potential, G44 also demonstrated to be stable across diverse agro-ecologies and to mature earlier than the best commercial check hybrid. In conclusion, incorporation of exotic genes, especially those from temperate regions, may improve the yielding ability and stability and can introduce earliness in the maturity of maize populations in sub-tropical regions. |
