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 ...

The performance of new early maturing pro-vitamin A maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids in the derived savanna agro-ecology of Nigeria [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2021
Maize (Zea mays L.) is a staple food for millions of people across the globe, and it supplies more than 30% of total dietary calories. However, the normal endosperm lacks a sufficient quantity of the nutritive precursor of vitamin A.
