This experiment was conducted at Debre Zeit and Akaki during 2004-2005 cropping season on F2-derived F4 bulk families of three crosses, viz, DZ-01-974 x DZ-01-2786, DZ-01-974 x DZ-Cr-37 and Alba x Kaye Murri. To estimate the correlations and path coefficients between yield and yield components, 63 F4 families were taken randomly from each of the three crosses. The 189 F4 families, five parents ...

Lodging is one of the most important factors that affect wheat final yield. Emmer [Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccum (Schrank ex Schübl.) Thell.] a likely gene source to improve durum [T. L. (Desf.) Husn.]; however, it highly susceptible lodging. The genetic studies traits related lodging in crosses × emmer remains largely understudied. Here, we used progenies (six generations) derived from two...

Sorghum [ bicolor (L.) ] is a tropical grass that often suffers from structural failure (lodging) when subjected to wind, rain, and hail. During lodging, excessive lateral deflection occurs, which inherently correlates with the biomechanical properties of stem. As such, fundamental understanding sorghum's behavior required mitigate its propensity for lodging. Herein, we perform creep tests char...

A substantial increase in grain yield potential is required, along with better use of water and fertilizer, to ensure food security and environmental protection in future decades. For improvements in photosynthetic capacity to result in additional wheat yield, extra assimilates must be partitioned to developing spikes and grains and/or potential grain weight increased to accommodate the extra a...

Much attention has shifted to the effects of temperature and solar radiation on rice production grain quality due global climate change. Meanwhile, lodging is a major cause yield losses. However, responses resistance are still unclear. To decipher mechanisms through which might be affected by radiation, 32 cultivars with different were grown at two eco-sites three sowing dates over period years...

Lodging is one of the main problems in maize production. Assessing self-recovery ability plants after lodging at different growth stages great significance for yield loss assessment and agricultural insurance claims. The objective this study was to quantitatively analyse effects severity on using UAV-LiDAR data. multi-temporal point cloud data obtained by RIEGL VUX-1 laser scanner were used con...

Abstract Lodging is one of the main problems affecting maize production. In this study, 220 inbred lines were used for determining lodging resistance. Analysis methods such as correlation analysis, principal component cluster stepwise discriminate and ridge regression analysis deployed data interpretation. The results showed that 17 characters correlated with varying degrees. Strong positive co...
