Flowering time is a complex trait that controls adaptation of plants to their local environment in the outcrossing species Zea mays (maize). We dissected variation for flowering with set 5000 recombinant inbred lines (maize Nested Association Mapping population, NAM). Nearly million were assayed eight environments but showed no evidence any single large-effect quantitative loci (QTLs). Instead, we identified numerous small-effect QTLs shared among families; however, allelic effects differ...
Maize genetic diversity has been used to understand the molecular basis of phenotypic variation and improve agricultural efficiency sustainability. We crossed 25 diverse inbred maize lines B73 reference line, capturing a total 136,000 recombination events. Variation for frequencies was observed among families, influenced by local (cis) variation. identified evidence numerous minor single-locus effects but little two-locus linkage disequilibrium or segregation distortion, which indicated...
Embryogenic tissue culture systems are utilized in propagation and genetic engineering of crop plants, but applications limited by genotype-dependent response. To date, few genes necessary for embryogenic callus formation have been identified or characterized. The goal this research was to enhance our understanding gene expression during maize initiation. In study, we highlight the candidate that previously regarded literature as having important roles somatic embryogenesis. We RNA based...
Genetic gain has been proposed as a quantifiable key performance indicator that can be used to monitor breeding programs' effectiveness. The cowpea program at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) developed and released improved varieties in 70 countries globally. To quantify genetic changes grain yield related traits, we exploited IITA historical multi-environment trials (METs) advanced trial (AYT) data from 2010 2022. assessment targeted short duration (SD), medium...
Abstract Regular measurement of realized genetic gain allows plant breeders to assess and review the effectiveness their strategies, allocate resources efficiently, make informed decisions throughout breeding process. Realized estimation requires separating trends from nongenetic using linear mixed model (LMM) on historical multi‐environment trial data. The LMM, accounting for year effect, experimental designs, heterogeneous residual variances, estimates best unbiased estimators genotypes...
Embryogenic and regenerable tissue cultures are widely utilized in plant transformation, clonal propagation, biological research applications. Germplasm those applications limited, however, due to genotype‐dependent culture response. The goal of this study was identify genomic regions controlling embryogenic response the globally important crop, maize ( Zea mays L.), toward long‐term objective developing approaches for genotype‐independent genetic engineering propagation systems. An inbred...
Optimization of a breeding program for increased genetic gain requires quality assurance (QA) and control (QC) at key phases the process. One vital phase in that QC QA is choice parents successful hybridizations to combine parental attributes create variations. The objective this study was determine diversity confirm hybridity cowpea F 1 progenies using KASP (Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR)-based single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. A total 1,436 plants were derived from crossing...
