To feed a world population growing by up to 160 people per minute, with >90% of them in developing countries, will require an astonishing increase food production. Forecasts call for wheat become the most important cereal world, maize close behind; together, these crops account approximately 80% countries' import requirements. Access range genetic diversity is critical success breeding programs. The global effort assemble, document, and utilize resources enormous, collections world's fight...
Genotype by environment interaction (GEI) is an important phenomenon in plant breeding. This paper presents a series of models for describing, exploring, understanding and predicting GEI. All depart from two-way table genotype means. First, descriptive explorative models/ approaches are presented: Finlay-Wilkinson model, AMMI GGE biplot. these have common that they merely try to group genotypes environments do not use other information than the Next, factorial regression introduced as...
Estimation of genetic diversity and distance among tropical maize ( Zea mays L.) lines the correlation between (GD) hybrid performance would determine breeding strategies, classify inbred lines, define heterotic groups, predict future performance. The objectives this study were to estimate (i) heterosis specific combining ability (SCA) for grain yield under stress non‐stress environments; (ii) restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) within a set lines; (iii) GD according their GD;...
This paper describes two joint linkage–linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping approaches: parallel (independent linkage and LD analysis) integrated (datasets analyzed in combination). These approaches were achieved using 2,052 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, including 659 SNPs developed from drought-response candidate genes, screened across three recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations 305 diverse lines, with anthesis-silking interval (ASI), an important trait for maize drought...
HSP101 belongs to the ClpB protein subfamily whose members promote renaturation of aggregates and are essential for induction thermotolerance. We found that maize accumulated in mature kernels absence heat stress. At optimal temperatures, disappeared within first 3 days after imbibition, although its levels increased response shock. In embryonic cells, concentrated nucleus some nucleoli. Hsp101 maps near umc132 npi280 markers on chromosome 6. Five hsp101-m-::Mu1 alleles were isolated....
