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.

Carotenoid Content and Bioaccessibility in Commercial Maize Hybrids [PDF]

Agriculture, 2021
The objective of the present study was to determine the content and bioaccessibility of carotenoids in 104 maize hybrids available at the market. Lutein, zeaxanthin, α- and β-cryptoxanthin, and β-carotene were determined in whole grains and micelles produced during standardized INFOGEST digestibility analysis, and their bioaccessibility was calculated ...

Spontaneous Hybridization between Maize and Teosinte [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2007
The closest wild relatives of maize, Zea mays ssp. mays are various Zea taxa known as "teosinte." Hybrids between maize and the teosinte taxon, Zea mays ssp. mexicana, often occur when the 2 are sympatric in Mexico. Measuring the spontaneous hybridization rate of the 2 taxa would shed light on the mechanisms contributing to the evolution and ...

Yield and quality of silage of maize hybrids [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012
The objective of this research was to identify the potential of maize hybrids for the production of silage. Hybrids 1671B, 2B433, 20A78, SHS4070, BX1280 and DKB390 were tested in a randomized block design with three replications. The hybrids yields were evaluated (average plant height, height of ear insertion, number of broken and lodged plants/ha ...

Determination of discriminatory traits in maize hybrids [PDF]

Agronomie, 2000
A discriminant analysis was performed on a set of morphological characteristics for a group of Argentine commercial maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids. In the discriminant analysis a set of canonical varieties was constructed to assess the discriminatory incidence of those characteristics among commercial hybrids. Discriminant analyses were performed on plant,

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.

Sperm Identification in Maize by Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization. [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 1996
The two sperm cells of common origin within the pollen tube of flowering plants are each involved in a fertilization event. It has long been recognized that preferential fusion of one sperm with the egg can occur in B chromosome-containing lines of maize.

Correlations and genetic parameters in maize hybrids

Bioscience Journal, 2016
The study of the genetic control of agronomic traits and heritage through estimates of genetic parameters of a population allows inferences about its genetic variability and which can be expected of gain with selection. Know the correlations among traits of interest for selection allows to the breeder know the degree of association among traits of ...

Differential Sensitivity of Maize Hybrids to Nicosulfuron

Agronomy
Maize hybrids exhibit varying levels of tolerance to the herbicide nicosulfuron, influenced by the environment, plant developmental stage, and herbicide rate. The objective of this study was to determine the sensitivity of maize hybrids to nicosulfuron through biochemical markers. Eight hybrids were treated with 120 g ha−1 of nicosulfuron at the V2 and
