Efficiency of Stratification on Yield and Popping Expansion of Popcorn in the Context of Mass Selection

open access: yesAgronomy
The current popcorn production in Mexico is insufficient to meet the demand for this grain, since there are no genotypes suitable for production within the country.

Improving accelerated aging and electrical conductivity tests to assess popcorn seed vigor

open access: yesBioscience Journal
Laboratories constantly evaluate seed lot quality under controlled conditions; however, these tests may overestimate actual field values, making vigor tests indispensable.

Analysis of testers with broad and narrow genetic base for topcrosses in popcorn breeding

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2004
Three testers (three-way hybrid Zélia, single-cross hybrid IAC 112 and composite CMS 43) were compared in the evaluation of the combining ability of 36 popcorn S> families obtained from CMS 43.

Variability of yield and kernel quality parameters of popcorn hybrids (Zea mays L. Everta) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal on Processing and Energy in Agriculture, 2011
The experiment with 12 popcorn hybrids was set up according to the RCB design in three replicates. Examined traits were: grain yield (GY), popping volume (PV) and number of kernels per 10g (NK).

Fabrication of macroporous POMs/biochar materials for fast degradation of phthalic acid esters through adsorption coupled with aerobic oxidation

open access: yesPolyoxometalates
Macroporous H5PMo10V2O40(n)/biochar (abbreviated as HPMoV(n)/biochar, where n is the loading amount of HPMo: 12 wt.%, 28 wt.%, 44 wt.%, 53 wt.%, and 63 wt.%) were fabricated from popcorn biocarbon and H5PMo10V2O40.

Popcorn parental selection based on genetic divergence

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2003
Nine popcorn genotypes were assessed for eight traits and their genetic divergence was estimated by multivariated techniques to identify parents for inclusion in breeding programs involvin hybridization. The nine genotypes were divided into two groups by

Genetic gain for grain yield and popping expansion in full-sib recurrent selection in popcorn

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2002
A first cycle of full-sib recurrent selection was conducted in a popcorn base population, with the objective of improving popping expansion and grain yield as recommended in a previous study by Pereira and Amaral Júnior (2001).
