Formation of Potential Heterotic Groups of Oat Using Variation at Microsatellite Loci [PDF]
An evaluation of polymorphism at the microsatellite loci was applied in distinguishing 85 oat (Avena sativa L.) genotypes selected from the collection of genetic resources. The set of genotypes included oats with white, yellow, and brown seeds as well as

Insights into the genomic divergence of maize heterotic groups in China [PDF]
ABSTRACTDiverse heterotic groups have been developed in China over several decades, but their genomic divergences have not been systematically studied after improvement. In this study, we performed Maize6H‐60K array of 5,822 maize accessions and whole‐genome re‐sequencing of 150 inbred lines collected in China.

Quantitative trait loci mapping of heterosis for leaf morphological traits and candidate gene identification in maize [PDF]
Background Leaf morphology traits determine photosynthetic efficiency, high-density planting tolerance, and grain yield in maize (Zea mays L.). Understanding the genetic basis of these traits is of great practical significance for optimizing plant ...

Dynamics of Gene and Allelic Expression During Modern Hybrid Maize Breeding. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Maize breeding has greatly improved yield through single‐cross hybrids, but the underlying gene regulatory changes remain unclear. This study analysed transcriptomes of landmark maize hybrids and their parents across developmental stages and planting densities.

Heterotic grouping of wheat hybrids based on general and specific combining ability from line × tester analysis [PDF]
The most important step in plant breeding is the correct selection of parents, and it would be wise to use heterotic groups for this. The purpose of this study is to analyse yield and its components as well as genetic diversity in line × tester wheat ...

Optimizing breeding strategies for early-maturing white maize through genetic diversity and population structure. [PDF]
Maize production and productivity in sub-Saharan Africa are constrained by various factors. Assessing the genetic diversity of newly developed elite inbred lines can help identify lines with desirable genes and explore genetic relatedness for heterotic ...
