%0 Journal Article %T An impact of environment on segregation ratio of qualitative traits in maize %A Van£¿etovi£¿ Jelena %J Genetika %D 2008 %I Serbian Genetics Society %R 10.2298/gensr0802145v %X 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. %K environment %K maize %K segregation distortion %K qualitative traits %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0534-0012/2008/0534-00120802145V.pdf
