Identification of genomic regions for grain yield and yield stability and their epistatic interactions [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractThe task of identifying genomic regions conferring yield stability is challenging in any crop and requires large experimental data sets in conjunction with complex analytical approaches. We report findings of a first attempt to identify genomic regions with stable expression and their individual epistatic interactions for grain yield and yield ...

Capturing Maize Stand Heterogeneity Across Yield-Stability Zones Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)

Sensors, 2019
Despite the new equipment capabilities, uneven crop stands are still common occurrences in crop fields, mainly due to spatial heterogeneity in soil conditions, seedling mortality due to herbivore predation and disease, or human error.

Animal pollination increases stability of crop yield across spatial scales [PDF]

, 2022
The benefits of animal-pollination to crop yield are well known. In contrast, the effects of animal-pollination on the spatial or temporal stability (the opposite of variability) of crop yield remain poorly understood.

Participatory Variety Testing to Replace Old Mega Rice Varieties with Newly Developed Superior Varieties in Bangladesh

International Journal of Plant Biology, 2022
The Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) has released more than 100 inbred rice varieties. Still, an old mega variety BRRI dhan28 dominates the farmers’ fields during the dry winter (Boro season: November–June) season.

Identifying yield stability over time via time-varying GARCH processes and multivariate Horseshoe priors

, 2023
Little is known about how grassland yield stability changes over time, where yield stability reflects the variance in yield, with higher-yielding grassland typically being less stable.

Effects of inter-varietal diversity, biotic stresses and environmental productivity on grain yield of spring barley variety mixtures [PDF]

, 2012
Varietal seed mixtures tend to increase and stabilize crop yields, yet their application is sparse. Large-scale cultivation of variety mixtures may require a better understanding of how inter-varietal interactions and their interaction with the ...
