dc.description.abstractMaize (Zea mays L.) is an important cross pollinated cereal crop of high economic and nutritional value. Genetic variation can be utilized to alter kernel composition for both quantity and quality of starch, oil, protein, lysine and tryptophan in protein and β- carotene content (pro-vitamin-A). In this context, For the enrichment of vitamin-A content in the human diet, variability for β-carotene content can be exploited through pro-vitamin-A biofortification. Looking to the importance the study conducted to assess magnitude of heterosis and combining ability of 28 single cross hybrids developed by half-diallel mating design involving 8 parents and 2 standard checks (GAYMH-1 and HQPM-1). The genetic diversity analysis of parental inbred lines involved in the crosses was done by SSR molecular marker analysis. The field experiment laid out in randomized block design with three replications at Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand in rabi 2014-15.en_US
