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 ...

Advanced backcross selection for resistance to Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination in maize
Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 5, September/October 2025.Abstract Ear rots and mycotoxin contamination of grain in maize (Zea mays L.) pose a threat to food production and safety, best ameliorated by breeding for resistance. In this study, we introgressed alleles conferring resistance to Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination from GE440, a highly resistant inbred with poor agronomic performance, into ...

Selection of S3 progenies of forage maize based on topcrosses with different testers
Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy, 2021 Maize forage is commonly used as silage in milk and beef cattle livestock production systems. Despite the wide variety of maize hybrids with high potential for grain production, few available hybrids have been developed exclusively for forage aptitude.

Combining ability of doubled haploids in Coffea canephora P. [PDF]
, 1994 Afin d'étudier leur aptitude à la combinaison, cinquante-cinq haploïde-doublées (HD) de #Coffea canephora$ ont été croisés avec soit des génotypes hétérozygotes soit des génotypes HD. Trois essais agronomiques ont été établis. Une vigueur hybride marquée

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 781-793, July 2025.Wheat morphological traits had no consistent impact on Sitodiplosis mosellana oviposition. Differences in the number of eggs among doubled haploid wheat lines were not associated with the presence (A+) or absence (A−) of awns, or the presence (H+) or absence (H−) of hairs in controlled laboratory experiments and field trials.

Evaluation of Nonparametric Models for Genomic Prediction of Early‐Stage Single Crosses in Maize
Crop Science, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 1411-1423, July-August 2019., 2019 ABSTRACT Prediction of single‐cross performance in a hybrid breeding program is extremely important because it is not feasible to evaluate all parental combinations. Recent simulation and field studies have shown great promise of genomic prediction of single‐cross performance.

Simulating of Top-Cross system for enhancement of antioxidants in maize grain
Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2014 Blue maize (Zea mays L.) is grown for its high content of antioxidants. Conversion of yellow and white to blue maize is time consuming because several genes affect blue color. After each backcross selfing is needed for color to be expressed.

The effects of cytoplasmic male sterility and xenia on the chemical composition of maize grain [PDF]
, 2009 Sterile hybrids often outyield their fertile counterparts, especially if pollinated by a genetically unrelated pollinator. The combined effect of cms and xenia is referred to as the Plus-hybrid effect.
