Maize gene bank collections as potentially valuable breeding material

Determination of levels of Striga germination Stimulants for maize gene bank accessions and elite inbred lines

Parasitism by Striga hermonthica (Del) Benth is a severe constraint in maizeproduction in sub-Saharan Africa. Varying levels of tolerance to Striga attack havebeen identified and exploited in breeding programs of several crops. However, thelevel and stability of the tolerance is generally unacceptable in field-practice. Onlylimited exploration has been undertaken among the farmers’ landraces to...

Maize as Material Culture? Amazonian Theories of Persons and Things

Natural and artificial mutants as valuable resources for functional genomics and molecular breeding

With the completion of rice genome sequencing, large collection of expression data and the great efforts in annotating rice genomes, the next challenge is to systematically assign functions to all predicted genes in the genome. The generations and collections of mutants at the genome-wide level form technological platform of functional genomics. In this study, we have reviewed currently employe...

Video Collections in Panoramic Contexts Supplemental Material

INTRODUCTION This document contains additional information on video alignment, the display applications exploration, and on the user study conducted to evaluate our system. We give details on homography validation, estimating missing homographies, and homography filtering; we report on methods to extended Vidicontexts to work on portable devices and spherical displays; the iMovie and iMovie+pan...
