Just I plan to generate a maize top-cross hybrid and I would like to know the good cross that I should make in order to get a better maize top cross hybrid. thaks
To create a maize top cross, an elite inbred line is crossed as the male parent onto another inbred line or population (female parent). The resulting top cross progenies are evaluated, and the best ones are backcrossed to the recurrent female parent to introgress favorable alleles while recovering its genetic background through selfing and selection cycles.
