Grain yield gains and associated traits in tropical × temperate maize germplasm under high and low plant density

Yield and Yield adjustments of nonprolific maize hybrids in response to plant population density

A Gene-Oriented Haplotype Comparison Reveals Recently Selected Genomic Regions in Temperate and Tropical Maize Germplasm

The extensive genetic variation present in maize (Zea mays) germplasm makes it possible to detect signatures of positive artificial selection that occurred during temperate and tropical maize improvement. Here we report an analysis of 532,815 polymorphisms from a maize association panel consisting of 368 diverse temperate and tropical inbred lines. We developed a gene-oriented approach adapting...

The determination of plant density on dry matter accumulation, grain yield and yield components of four maize hybrids

The effects of plant density on dry matter accumulation, grain yield and yield components of four maize hybrids were evaluated. The experimental design was split plot format based on a randomized complete block with three replications. The study was conducted of Islamic Azad University of Dezful (Iran) farming research station in 2010. The main factors were 4 levels of hybrids (Ks.c704, Ks.c700...

ارزیابی کارایی تسترهای ذرت مناطق معتدله در غربال گری ژرم پلاسم های مناطق حاره ای و نیمه حاره ای

 Maize germplasm from CIMMYT is genetically most diverse in the world and is exceedingly useful for broadening the genetic base of temperate maize germplasm. It is a tough challenge for improving efficiency and reliability of extracting the best suitable material from exotic germplasm. So, this study was done to determine the optimum number of testers and suitable testers for screening a maize ...

Effect of Nitrogen Fertilizer and Plant Density on Growth Characteristics, Yield Components and Grain Yield of Rice

In order to investigate the effect of nitrogen fertilizer and plant density on the agronomic characteristics of rice cv. Tarom Hashemi, a field experiment was carried out as a randomized complete blocks design with three replications during 2018 and 2019 in a farm located in Sari, north of Iran. The present study consisted of 10 levels of plant density (hills m-2) and N fertilizer, named T1 (20...
