| Objectives of the Sweet Corn and Baby Corn Improvement Project of Kasetsart University was to improve populations and develop inbreds and single-cross hybrids of sweet corn and the non-detasseld baby corn for high yield and good eating quality for the fresh market and processing. Three sweet corn populations KSC 3 (AC0) and TSC 1 DMR (BC0) and KSC 2 (CC0) were improved by using S2 testcrossed with inbred testers KSei 14004 and SSWI 114, respectively, except for CC3 using S3 testcross). During 3 years (2007-2009), KSC 3(HI)C3 (AC3), TSC 1 DMR (HI)C2 (BC2) and KSC 2(HI)C3 (CC3) were successfully improved including their inbred and hybrid development. Population crosses were formed by factorial cross followed North Carolina Design II. Progress from selection... |
