M.Sc. Research Highlights:
The study was conducted to standardize the hydro-priming protocol in two maize hybrids
viz., Hema and Nithyashree to know the physiological, biochemical and molecular
changes associated with priming in maize seeds. The crop specific efficacy of different
combinations of temperature and duration of soaking were standardized based on the
performance of various seed quality attributes and the best priming temperature was
25 10C and optimum duration of soaking was 24h.
The ability to distinguish and identify the hybrids is fundamental for the operational
aspects in the seed trade. SSR molecular markers were employed to distinguish the
hybrids and their parental lines. Among 16 SSR markers only five viz., bnlg 1018, p-phi
435417, Umc 1388, UMC 2362 and Phi 001 were found to be polymorphic between
hybrids and their parental lines. Based on the complementary banding pattern between the
hybrids and their parents the SSR marker bnlg 1018, P-phi 435417, Umc 1388 were
identified as specific markers to distinguish F1 maize hybrids. The SSR primers UMC
2362 and Phi 001 were identified as more useful primers which can differentiate the Hema
hybrid from Nithyashree and also from other hybrids. The chemical method of varietal
identification needs to be standardized and can be successfully employed with other
reliable methods of varietal identification.
