Abstract/Description: | Maize is the world's leading cereal grain crop that was first domesticated in Central America. Globally, maize is known as queen of cereals because of its highest genetic yield potential. Several breeding methods have been developed for maize improvement. This chapter discusses the details of the pedigree breeding method. The pedigree breeding method involves crossing two elite inbred lines followed by continuous inbreeding till phenotypic uniformity is achieved. Due to the increase of urbanization, change in food habit, and improved economic status, the specialty corn has gained significant importance in peri‐urban areas of the country. Baby corn and sweet corn cultivation in the peri‐urban pockets of the country will ensure livelihood security and cater to the need for green fodder for livestock promotion without any additional land. The major abiotic stress that affects maize productivity, production, and quality is moisture stress. Breeding efforts are required to address the issues under climate change in the future. |
