Developing heterotic groups for hybrid breeding in crop plants with emphasizing on forage crops
Exploitation of heterosis in hybrid breeding and development of synthetic cultivars is an essential procedure in plant breeding programs. The main goal of hybrid breeding programs is to select desirable parental genotypes to maximize the expression of heterosis. However, since development of high yielding hybrids and synthetic cultivars are costly and time-consuming, the accurate prediction of ...
متن کاملRoot biomass and shoot to root ratios of perennial forage crops in eastern Canada
Bolinder, M. A., Angers, D. A., Bélanger, G., Michaud, R. et Laverdière, M. R. 2002. Root biomass and shoot to root ratios of perennial forage crops in eastern Canada. Can. J. Plant Sci. 82: 731–737. Shoot to root ratios (S:R) at peak standing crop are commonly used to estimate the annual crop residue C inputs to the soil from the root biomass left in the soil at harvest. However, root biomass ...
متن کاملLack of Impacts during Early Establishment Highlights a Short-Term Management Window for Minimizing Invasions from Perennial Biomass Crops
Managing intentional species introductions requires evaluating potential ecological risks. However, it is difficult to weigh costs and benefits when data about interactions between novel species and the communities they are introduced to are scarce. In anticipation of expanded cultivation of perennial biomass crops, we experimentally introduced Miscanthus sinensis and Miscanthus × giganteus (tw...
متن کاملReduced nitrogen losses after conversion of row crop agriculture to perennial biofuel crops.
Current biofuel feedstock crops such as corn lead to large environmental losses of N through nitrate leaching and NO emissions; second-generation cellulosic crops have the potential to reduce these N losses. We measured N losses and cycling in establishing miscanthus (), switchgrass ( L. fertilized with 56 kg N ha yr), and mixed prairie, along with a corn ( L.)-corn-soybean [ (L.) Merr.] rotati...
متن کاملDoubled Haploidy Research for Saskatchewan Crops
Doubled haploidy methodology is commonly used in many agronomically important crops to speed the development of new cultivars. There are a number of advantages in using haploidy technology in both practical application (varietal development, mutagenesis, transformation) and basic research (genomics, biochemical, and physiological studies). Haploid plants are commonly produced using one of four ...
