Performance of testers with different genetic structure for evaluation of maize inbred lines Desempenho de testadores com diferentes estruturas genéticas para avaliação de linhagens endogâmicas de milho

The objective of this study was to evaluate four maize testers for identification of superior inbreed lines in testcross. The four testers evaluated are cultivars with narrow or wide genetic base (single-cross hybrids and open pollinated varieties) and two kernel types (flint or dent). SynD and SynF...
