Genomic prediction for the Germplasm Enhancement of Maize project
The Plant Genome, 2022 The Germplasm Enhancement of Maize (GEM) project was initiated in 1993 as a cooperative effort of public‐ and private‐sector maize (Zea mays L.) breeders to enhance the genetic diversity of the U.S. maize crop.

Biochemical and physical kernel properties of a standard maize hybrid in different TopCross™ Blends
Scientia Agricola, 2017 A pilot experiment was undertaken in order to examine high oil populations of maize (Zea mays L.) to be used as pollinators in TopCross blends with commercial ZP341 standard hybrid. Five high oil populations (HOPs) from the Maize Research Institute (MRI)

Quantitative genetic analysis of embryo heterosis in faba bean (Vicia faba L.). [PDF]
Theor Appl Genet, 2010 Seeds, i.e. embryos, may be genetically different from either of their parents and moreover may express their own heterosis. The objective was to genetically analyse embryo heterosis for their own weight (i.e.

Performance and Stability of Pearl Millet Topcross Hybrids and Their Variety Pollinators [PDF]
Crop Science, 1992 A majority of farmers in the arid and semiarid regions of Africa and South Asia continue to cultivate their local landraces of pearl millet [Pennlsetum glaucum (L.) IL Br.], rather than improved varieties. The reasons for this preference for local landraces may include their better yield stability and adaptation to environmental stress, although their ...

Heterosis in landrace-based topcross hybrids of pearl millet across arid environments [PDF]
Euphytica, 2004 This study quantified the magnitude of heterosis in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) topcross hybrids produced by crossing 16 diverse landraces and three high yielding open-pollinating varieties on two homozygous male-sterile lines. Hybrids and pollinators were grown in 12 year ×;location combinations in India that were grouped into three zones ...

Classical and AMMI methods to select progenies, testers and topcrosses hybrids in corn [PDF]
Revista Ceres, 2023 The objectives were to estimate the potential of S2 corn progenies for forage-related traits, and use of AMMI analysis to evaluate topcrosses compared to the classic analyzes.

Evaluation of landrace topcross hybrids of pearl millet for arid zone environments [PDF]
Euphytica, 2004 Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) cultivars for marginal, arid environments need to combine the adaptation to stress conditions of indigenous landraces with an improved yield potential and disease resistance, to allow them to both perform well in farmers fields and to meet the requirements for cultivar release. This paper evaluates landrace-

Nitrogen use efficiency of open-pollinated maize cultivars and topcrosses under low nitrogen soil. [PDF]
HeliyonThe study was conducted to evaluate the nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) of open-pollinated maize cultivars under low nitrogen soil conditions. It took place at the Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority in Ilorin, Nigeria, during the 2019 and 2020 cropping seasons. The nitrogen treatments (0, 45, and 90 kg N ha⁻1) were assigned as the main
