41 - Traditional maize varieties as a genetic resource for a sustainable and partecipatory approach to agriculture
M. Alfieri - C. Balconi - P. Valoti - R. Redaelli

 

In 2017 a Participatory Plant Breeding (PPB) program was started at CREA in Bergamo, the first experience in Italy for maize. In order to select the most suitable materials for this approach, 173 F2 progenies from crosses among Italian and foreign varieties were multiplied. Based on some agronomic and technological parameters, 31 populations were chosen to be characterized, together with their parental varieties and three hybrids, in terms of proximate composition and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). A wide range of variation was observed among the populations for protein (11.3-16.3% dm), lipid (3.3-5.1% dm), starch content (57.2-70.8% dm) and for TAC (13.7-22.4 mmol TE kg-1 dm). The most interesting materials derived from crosses to VA1269 (Nero spinoso), characterized by high TAC, and the progenies of crosses to VA103 (Marano), richest in protein and lipid content. This work represents a first step of selection for the development of an effective PPB for maize in Italy.
