Abstract :

The proposed study was carried out in the glasshouse of the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan to evaluate the maize genotypes for seedling traits during the crop season in February 2011. The higher value of genotypic variance was found for fresh root length and fresh root to shoot length ratio. The higher values of heritability and genetic advance were recorded for fresh root length, fresh shoot length and fresh root to shoot length ratio for both after 14 and 28 days of seedling emergence. It was concluded that the selection of higher yielding genotypes and may also be used as potential genotypes under drought conditions. Key words: Zea mays, genotypic variance, heritability, genetic advance, Pakistan
