Abstract:
In the presented article is proposed the idea of algorithm elaboration for maize drought-resistant forms selection based on the identification of physiological and biochemical traits of drought resistance Zea mays.L. culture. For this aim it is proposed interdisciplinary research that combines the specificity of physiological, biochemical and genetic techniques of maize breeding. As a material for carrying out of planned research is offered the screening of maize lines and hybrids, with the degree contrast of resistance to drought. Physiological and biochemical diagnostics for drought resistance will be carried out only on those forms that have passed the rapid analysis of biological purity and quality.Will be tested the effectiveness of physiological and biochemical methods in agro biological sequence of change the stressors: spring soil drought factor during swelling and germination of seeds; factors of soil and atmospheric drought during flowering and during the milky-wax ripeness maize grain. It is also expected that in addition to the elaboration of an algorithm designed for the drought-resistant maize forms selection will be carry out a parallel work on the creation of experimental hybrids with high potential for resistance to drought conditions based on the use of this algorithm for the physiological and biochemical diagnosis and screening of drought-resistant maize samples.
