Integrating Heterosis for Root Architecture and Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Maize: A Comparison between Hybrids from Different Decades

Agronomy
Exploring the biological potential of maize root architecture is one of the most important ways to improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The NUE and its heterosis in maize hybrids have improved remarkably over decades.

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
Abstract Accurate 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.

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 ...
