A Pitfall in evluating Systematic Errors [PDF]
, 2008 A common practice in evaluating the contribution of systematic uncertainties is to change the parameter by ±1 of systematic uncertainty, then to add the induced changes in the result in quadrature.

Methods for evaluating effects of transgenes for quantitative traits
Crop Science, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 141-148, January/February 2024.Abstract Transgenes that improve quantitative traits have traditionally been evaluated in one or a few genetic backgrounds across multiple environments. However, testing across multiple genetic backgrounds can be equally important to accurately quantify the value of a transgene for breeding objectives.

<b>Breeding potential of S4 maize lines in topcrosses for agronomic and forage traits [PDF]
Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy, 2016 This study aimed to evaluate the performance of 46 maize lines (S4) obtained from crosses between the commercial hybrids Penta x P30F53 in topcrosses with the commercial simple cross hybrid Dow8460 (tester) and checks (hybrids Penta, P30F53, Dow8460 and Status).

The Topcross Progeny Tests of Sires Used for Inbreeding in Poultry
Poultry Science, 1954 Abstract THE performance of his topcross progeny should give the best estimate of the breeding worth of an inbred male used for this purpose. Since inbreeding increases homozygosity, the value of topcrossing might be increased by mating the best cross-progeny tested males with their sisters.

Evaluation of landrace topcross hybrids of pearl millet for arid zone environments [PDF]
Euphytica, 1994 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-

The Effects of Heat Stress on High Oil Corn [PDF]
, 2005 High oil corn (HOC) is essentially dent corn that has been selected for high oil content in the scutellum. It is a value-added crop that can potentially offer a premium price for producers. Though southeastern U.S.

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2006 O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar, por meio de topcrosses, o potencial heterótico de 14 populações de milho pipoca. No ano agrícola 1997/1998, foram obtidos os híbridos topcrosses resultantes dos cruzamentos das populações com o testador, que se constituiu da mistura eqüitativa de sementes de todas as 14 populações.
