G2MARS a collaborative approach to improve fodder quality of European sorghum germplasm [PDF]

, 2018
The ability of sorghum to maintain a high level of biomass production in stressful environments makes it an interesting crop for animal feed as fodder, and for biomaterials and bioenergy production.

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.

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.

Contribution of awns and hairy glumes in spring wheat to resistance against wheat midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana

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.

Impact of genotype × environment interaction and selection history on genomic prediction in maize (Zea mays L.)

Crop Science, Volume 64, Issue 6, Page 3293-3310, November/December 2024.
Abstract Breeders made remarkable progress in improving productivity and stability of cultivars. Breeding progress relies on selecting favorable alleles for performance and stability to produce productive varieties across diverse environments. In this study, we analyzed the Genomes to Fields Initiative 2018–2019 genotype by environment interaction (G ×

Identification of Combining Ability Patterns for Pearl Millet Hybrid Breeding in West Africa

Crop Science, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 1590-1603, July-August 2019., 2019
ABSTRACT Diets of West African (WA) smallholder farmers are built on pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]. Sustainable pearl millet hybrid breeding is challenging in WA, mostly due to an extensive genetic diversity combined with a high degree of admixture. In the absence of natural heterotic groups, understanding combining ability patterns can

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.
