Studies on applying SNP markers to breeding drought-tolerant maize hybrids

Vietnam Journal of Science, Technology and Engineering, 2022
The results of testing the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center’s (CIMMYT’s) hybrid combinations, developed from hybrid 790 F2:3 lines and 10 parental lines, using two testers (CML451 and CLO2450) under optimal and managed drought conditions

Genomic regions associated with heat stress tolerance in tropical maize (Zea mays L.)

Scientific Reports, 2021
With progressive climate change and the associated increase in mean temperature, heat stress tolerance has emerged as one of the key traits in the product profile of the maize breeding pipeline for lowland tropics.

Maize/peanut intercropping improves nutrient uptake of side-row maize and system microbial community diversity

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Intercropping, a diversified planting pattern, increases land use efficiency and farmland ecological diversity. We explored the changes in soil physicochemical properties, nutrient uptake and utilization, and microbial community composition in wide-strip

Global irrigation contribution to wheat and maize yield

Nature Communications, 2021
Irrigation is the largest sector of human water use and an important option for increasing crop production and reducing drought impacts. However, the potential for irrigation to contribute to global crop yields remains uncertain.

Transcriptomic and genome-wide association study reveal long noncoding RNAs responding to nitrogen deficiency in maize

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in essential biological processes. However, our understanding of lncRNAs as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) and their responses to nitrogen stress is still limited.

Development of genic KASP SNP markers from RNA-Seq data for map-based cloning and marker-assisted selection in maize

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Maize is one of the most important field crops in the world. Most of the key agronomic traits, including yield traits and plant architecture traits, are quantitative. Fine mapping of genes/ quantitative trait loci (QTL) influencing a key trait

Combining QTL-seq and linkage mapping to uncover the genetic basis of single vs. paired spikelets in the advanced populations of two-ranked maize×teosinte

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Teosinte ear bears single spikelet, whereas maize ear bears paired spikelets, doubling the number of grains in each cupulate during maize domestication. In the past 20 years, genetic analysis of single vs.

Maize silage for dairy cows: mitigation of methane emissions can be offset bij and use change [PDF]

, 2006
Increasing the digestibility of cattle rations by feeding grains and whole plant silages from maize have been identified as effective options to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. The effect of ploughing grassland for maize crops have not been taken into

The variations in maize grain composition induced by different environments [PDF]

Acta Periodica Technologica, 2014
Nine maize hybrids were grown with the aim to determine variations in chemical composition of the grain. Analyzed hybrids were grown in split-plot experimental design with tree replications in Sremska Mitrovica and Zemun Polje, during the summer
