Population structure and impact of recurrent selection on popcorn using EST-SSR markers
Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy, 2018 The success of any recurrent selection program depends on the genetic variability of the evaluated population, which is used to refer to the diversity of existing alleles at many genetic loci.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1628-1640, May 2026.Abstract Measuring directional root placement is critical for understanding plant responses to their below‐ground environment, and particularly their competing neighbours. Directional root placement is commonly measured using image analysis of roots growing in transparent pots (rhizoboxes), where the length of the root system of the target plants is ...

Impact of Fusarium sp. severity and agronomic traits on popcorn popping expansion
Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 5, September/October 2025.Abstract The study of relationships between traits is essential for understanding the behavior of variables of interest and advancing breeding programs. In popcorn (Zea mays L. var. everta (Sturtev) L.H. Bailey), popping expansion (PE) is considered the primary quality trait, but knowledge about the impact of agronomic traits and Fusarium spp ...

Plant Breeding, Volume 144, Issue 4, Page 549-558, August 2025.ABSTRACT Genetic diversity studies and molecular characterization offer crucial insights into preserving germplasm and maximizing its utility effectively. Therefore, the present study aimed to verify the genetic diversity, population structure and linkage disequilibrium in a set of maize (Zea mays L.) germplasm adapted to South Brazil composed of 351 ...

Zeaxanthin-Biofortified Popcorn for Eye Health
Proceedings, 2020 Zeaxanthin is one of only two dietary carotenoids accumulated in the human macula. A key role of zeaxanthin is to protect the eyes’ photoreceptors from damage induced by blue light.

Crop Science, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 1887-1900, May/June 2024.Abstract Nebraska is the number one producer of food‐grade white corn in the United States. Pollen‐mediated gene flow (PMGF) from genetically engineered high alpha‐amylase corn, known as Enogen corn, to food‐grade white corn can have undesirable outcomes.

Agronomski glasnik : Glasilo Hrvatskog agronomskog društva, 2014 The effect of weed density on the growth and reproductive performance of Zea mays everta using Euphorbia heterophylla as the test weed was investigated. The result of the experiment revealed that there was no significant difference between the control and the treatments, as well as among the treatments in the early growth performance of popcorn for the
