Performance prediction and stability of maize hybrids in contrasting Striga environments [PDF]
Maize yield and production are significantly hampered by Striga hermonthica, causing up to 100 % yield loss under severe infestation in Africa. This research sought to: (i) assess whether extra-early maize hybrids' yield and plant aspect performance ...

Fatty acid composition of maize germ oil from high-oil hybrids wet-milling processing [PDF]
Maize germ was obtained by wet-milling laboratory processing of domestic high-oil maize hybrids. After separation, the germ was subjected to extraction of maize oil. Fatty acid composition of maize germ oil was determined by gas chromatography.

Comparative study of simple interline and three-way cross maize hybrids
Domestic interline maize hybrids are predominantly three-way cross hybrids in structure, and foreign breeding and seed companies prefer simple interline hybrids. In order to improve the competitiveness of domestic breeding, it is necessary to reorient to

Multi-Traits Selection of Maize Hybrids under Sole-Crop and Multiple-Crops with Soybean
Multi-trait selection is very helpful in plant breeding programs. This technique can select genotypes for specific traits. Yield performance of maize hybrids is influenced by genotype-by-environment interactions (GEIs).
