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.

Short-term physiological responses to drought stress in seedling of tropical and temperate maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars

Journal of Biological Research, 2019
Understanding of the response of tropical and temperate maize (Zea mays L.) to drought is the first step for tolerant temperate maize improvement. Eight maize hybrids were used to investigate physiology responses under drought stress, four of them were ...

Open field study of some Zea mays hybrids, lipid compounds and fumonisins accumulation [PDF]

, 2015
Lipid molecules are increasingly recognized as signals exchanged by organisms interacting in pathogenic and/or symbiotic ways. Some classes of lipids actively determine the fate of the interactions.

Genetic characterization of early maturing maize hybrids (Zea mays L.) obtained by protein and RAPD markers [PDF]

, 2005
Knowledge of maize germplasm genetic diversity is important for planning breeding programmes, germplasm conservation per se etc. Genetic variability of maize hybrids grown in the fields is also very important because genetic uniformity implies risks of ...
