Genetic trends in the Zimbabwe’s national maize breeding program over two decades [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Monitoring genetic gains within breeding programs is a critical component for continuous improvement. While several national breeding programs in Africa have assessed genetic gain using era studies, this study is the first to use two decades of ...

Comparative analysis of mitochondrial genomes of maize CMS-S subtypes provides new insights into male sterility stability

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a trait of economic importance in the production of hybrid seeds. In CMS-S maize, exerted anthers appear frequently in florets of field-grown female populations where only complete male-sterile plants were ...

iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis provides insight into the drought-stress response in maize seedlings

Scientific Reports, 2022
Drought is a major abiotic stress that harms plant cell physiology and limits the growth and productivity of crops. Maize (Zea mays L.), one of the most drought-susceptible crops, is a major food source for humans and an important resource for industrial

Identification of a locus associated with genic male sterility in maize via EMS mutagenesis and bulked-segregant RNA-seq

Crop Journal, 2021
Genic male sterility (GMS) is one of the most important resources for exploiting heterosis in crop breeding, so that identifying genomic loci regulating GMS is desirable.

Stalk architecture, cell wall composition, and QTL underlying high stalk flexibility for improved lodging resistance in maize

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Stalk fracture caused by strong wind can severely reduce yields in maize. Stalks with higher stiffness and flexibility will exhibit stronger lodging resistance. However, stalk flexibility is rarely studied in maize.

Coordinated Effect of Ascorbate Biosynthesis and Recycling in Maize Seed Germination and Seedling Establishment under Low Temperature

Agriculture, 2021
The impacts of low temperature occasionally encountered at higher latitude regions on maize seed germination present significant threats to yield and cultivation. Exploring the association of antioxidant system with low temperature (LT) germination could

A leucine-rich repeat-receptor-like kinase gene SbER2–1 from sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) confers drought tolerance in maize

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background ERECTA (ER) is a leucine-rich repeat-receptor-like kinase gene (LRR-RLK) encoding a protein isolated from Arabidopsis. Although the regulatory functions of ER genes have been widely explored in plant development and disease resistance, their ...

Resistance of Maize Inbreds and their Hybrids to Fusarium Stalk Rot

Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2003
The resistance of 35 inbred lines and their 70 hybrids with two testers to stalk rot is described and the results of natural and artificial stalk infection are compared. A mixture of Fusarium spp. spores was used for artificial infections.
