Genetic gains in early maturing maize hybrids developed by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Southern Africa during 2000–2018

Frontiers in Plant Science
Genetic gain estimation in a breeding program provides an opportunity to monitor breeding efficiency and genetic progress over a specific period. The present study was conducted to (i) assess the genetic gains in grain yield of the early maturing maize ...

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 ...

Characterization of the imprinting and expression patterns of ZAG2 in maize endosperm and embryo

Crop Journal, 2015
ZAG2 has been identified as a maternally expressed imprinted gene in maize endosperm. Our study revealed that paternally inherited ZAG2 alleles were imprinted in maize endosperm and embryo at 14 days after pollination (DAP), and consistently imprinted in

Multi-trait association mapping for phosphorous efficiency reveals flexible root architectures in sorghum

BMC Plant Biology
Background On tropical regions, phosphorus (P) fixation onto aluminum and iron oxides in soil clays restricts P diffusion from the soil to the root surface, limiting crop yields. While increased root surface area favors P uptake under low-P availability,

Identification of gray leaf spot–resistant donor lines in tropical maize germplasm and their agronomic performance under artificial inoculation

Frontiers in Plant Science
Gray leaf spot (GLS) disease is caused by two fungal pathogens, Cercospora zeae-maydis and Cercospora zeina. The current study evaluated 427 elite tropical/subtropical lines for their responses to GLS under artificial inoculation in Kakamega in western ...

Characterization of phytohormone and transcriptome reprogramming profiles during maize early kernel development

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background During maize early kernel development, the dramatic transcriptional reprogramming determines the rate of developmental progression, and phytohormone plays critical role in these important processes.
