Comparative study of simple interline and three-way cross maize hybrids

Зерновое хозяйство России, 2022
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

Agronomy, 2023
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).

Omics-based hybrid prediction in maize [PDF]

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2017
AbstractAccurate prediction of traits with complex genetic architecture is crucial for selecting superior candidates in animal and plant breeding and for guiding decisions in personalized medicine. Whole-genome prediction (WGP) has revolutionized these areas but has inherent limitations in incorporating intricate epistatic interactions.

Maize ARGOS1 (ZAR1) transgenic alleles increase hybrid maize yield [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2013
Crop improvement for yield and drought tolerance is challenging due to the complex genetic nature of these traits and environmental dependencies. This study reports that transgenic over-expression of Zea mays AR GOS1 (ZAR1) enhanced maize organ growth, grain yield, and drought-stress tolerance.
