Genetic Correlations Between Photosynthetic and Yield Performance in Maize Are Different Under Two Heat Scenarios During Flowering

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) parameters are reliable early stress indicators in crops, but their relations with yield are still not clear. The aims of this study are to examine genetic correlations between photosynthetic performance of JIP-test during

Biotechnology in maize breeding

Genetika, 2004
Maize is one of the most important economic crops and the best studied and most tractable genetic system among monocots. The development of biotechnology has led to a great increase in our knowledge of maize genetics and understanding of the structure and behaviour of maize genomes. Conventional breeding practices can now be complemented by a number of

Genome-Wide Association Study for Maize Leaf Cuticular Conductance Identifies Candidate Genes Involved in the Regulation of Cuticle Development. [PDF]

, 2020
The cuticle, a hydrophobic layer of cutin and waxes synthesized by plant epidermal cells, is the major barrier to water loss when stomata are closed at night and under water-limited conditions.

Mapping of a major QTL for salt tolerance of mature field-grown maize plants based on SNP markers

BMC Plant Biology, 2017
Background Salt stress significantly restricts plant growth and production. Maize is an important food and economic crop but is also a salt sensitive crop.

An integrated strategy for target SSR genotyping with toleration of nucleotide variations in the SSRs and flanking regions

BMC Bioinformatics, 2021
Background With the broad application of high-throughput sequencing and its reduced cost, simple sequence repeat (SSR) genotyping by sequencing (SSR-GBS) has been widely used for interpreting genetic data across different fields, including population ...

Maize breeding for sustainable agricultural systems

Revista Verde de Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável, 2021
In the present work, a recurrent selection program was initiated, between and within half-sib families in landrace maize, with the objective of obtaining, at the end of the process, a productive maize variety for agroecological cultivation systems adapted to the northeast region.

MADS-box encoding gene Tunicate1 positively controls maize yield by increasing leaf number above the ear

Nature Communications
The leaves above the ear serve as a major source of carbohydrates for grain filling in maize. However, increasing the number of leaves above the ear to strengthen the source and improve maize yield remains challenging in modern maize breeding.
