Amylose content and micromorphology of popcorn progenies with different popping expansion volumes [PDF]
: Popcorn (Zea mays var. everta) has a higher commercial value than common maize, in addition to being a popular food among consumers. Today, there is a constant search for cultivars with superior performance for several traits of interest in the case of

Combined effect of cover crops and bio-fertilizer on sustainable popcorn maize production [PDF]
Cover crops play an important role in low-input cropping systems, increasing the use of agro-ecosystem services. Due to the lack of information about the impact of cover crops and bio-fertilizers on popcorn maize (Zea mays everta Sturt.) growth and yield

Popping volume and grain yield in diallel set of popcorn inbred lines
Popping volume and yield are traits caused by several heredity factors. It is difficult to obtain superior genotypes for both traits but it is possible to develop genotypes with good popping volume and satisfactory yield. The hybrid ZPPL2 x ZPPL5 was superior in yield, heterosis and SCA for both yield and popping volume.

Nutritional Quality and Popability of Popcorn (Zea mays L. var. everta) in Response to Compost and NPK 20-7-3 Application under Dryland Condition of South Africa [PDF]
The dietary value of popcorn, an important snack, depends on its proximate and nutritional constituents, while the economic worth is based on popability and expansion traits of the kernels. There is paucity of information on how soil fertility influences

The relation between yielding and the popping volume of the popping maize hybrids (Zea mays L. everta) [PDF]
Beside the yield, as an economically important trait, the popping volume that breeders have been improving is equally important. At the same time, it is the main trait distinguishing popping maize from other types of maize.

The influence of moisture content of grain on popping volume of popcorn hybrids (Zea mays l. everta) [PDF]
The percentage of moisture content at the moment of popping has the most significant impact on the popping volume of popcorn. In this research we observed the influence of the optimal moisture content of 14.2 % and lower moisture content (12, 10 ...

Pat analysis for popping volume, grah yield and yield components in maize (Zea mays L. everta) [PDF]
Five maize inbred lines, ZPNP11, Sg1533, ZPLP2/1, ZPK18 and ZPK6, were used for this study. The dilled cross with n(n-l)/2 combinations was performed and 10 Fl hybrids were analyzed in parallel trials in two locations (Zemun Polje and Indjija).
