An impact of environment on segregation ratio of qualitative traits in maizeKeywords: environment , maize , segregation distortion , qualitative traits Abstract: The significant influence of environment was found on the segregation ratio in a dyhibrid inheritance in maize. Two possible causes are proposed for this segregation distortion: 1) environmental influence (selection) prior forming the gametes or/and 2) different preferential pairing in different environments. Further studies, however, on other self or cross-pollinated plant species, and with different traits are needed to better understand this phenomena.
