Maize hybrids - Open Access .click

Euphytica, 1990
The production of seed of the maize single cross hybrid F68*NE2 is uneconomic because of the low grain yield of the maternal line. Therefore the aim was to produce it from newly developed inbred lines obtained by reshuffling the genes in the hybrid, accompanied by selection. Thus in open pollinating generations derived from this hybrid, i.e. in C0, C1,

Phenomic prediction of maize hybrids

Biosystems, 2016
Phenomic experiments are carried out in large-scale plant phenotyping facilities that acquire a large number of pictures of hundreds of plants simultaneously. With the aid of automated image processing, the data are converted into genotype-feature matrices that cover many consecutive days of development.

Catalase Hybrid Enzymes in Maize

Science, 1964
In maize endosperm there are two electrophoretic variants of catalase. The variations are under genetic control, and the heterozygote shows three hybrid enzymes with mobilities intermediate between the parental enzymes. Thus, maize catalase may exist as a tetramer, and the hybrid enzymes may be formed by random association of two different catalase ...

THE EXPERIMENTAL BASIS FOR HYBRID MAIZE*

Biological Reviews, 1946
SummaryThe development of superior maize hybrids and their rapid acceptance by farmers constitutes one of the most important advances in American agriculture within the past century. In 1944 hybrid maize plantings occupied approximately 83 % of the maize acreage in the Corn Belt.
