Studies on breeding of some maize (Zea Mays, L) inbred lines and their crosses under salinity
conditions
INTRODUCTION• The rapid increase in the world population
demands an expansion of crop areas to raise food production.
• Salinity is a worldwide problem, with more than 6% of the world’s total land mass affected by salinity (FAO,2010) .
• Therefore, More work are needed to improve the productivity per unit area.
• The use of crops that have some degree of salt tolerance can also be a possibility to overcome the problems caused by salinity.
• So, screening of large number of genotypes of a crop is necessary to identify the salt tolerant germplasm for breeding programs to develop the salt tolerant and high yielding crop varieties.

Selection bymolecular markers
• The applications of molecular markers, have been used to screen DNA sequence variation and among the crop species.
• Through this Possible technique applying fast selection between different genotypes and create new sources of genetic variation by introducing new and favorable traits from landraces and related crop species.
The objectives of this work
selection among different genotypes under salinity conditions
create new sources of genetic variation by introducing tolerant salt traits from landraces and
related crop species into commercial varieties
Selection by molecular markers
between genotypes
Identify the gene responsible for salt
tolerance
Gene transfer from landraces and related crop species to Commercial
varieties
Conclusion
Application of infrared thermal imagery to select tolerant Maize genotypes.
•Traditional methods of measuring Maize growth have been time-long .
•Thermal infrared imaging (IR) is now an established technology for the study of stomatal responses and for phenotyping the stomatal behavior under different environmental stresses. •This approach can rapidly measure canopy temperature (by different color on a camera screen) over large areas and rapid and reliable method for monitoring of whole plant response to water stress.
