During maize development and reproduction, shading stress is an important abiotic factor influencing grain yield. To elucidate the genetic basis of shading stress in maize, an F(2:3) population derived from two inbred lines, Zhong72 and 502, was used to evaluate the performance of six traits under shading treatment and full-light treatment at two locations. The results showed that shading treat...

iran is mainly situated in a dry climate part of the world. due to the limiting and scarce water resources, crop production in the country is increasingly facing water shortages. a field experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of irrigation regimes on growth, chlorophyll fluorescence and grain yield of maize in 2006 at the research farm, college of agriculture, isfahan university of ...

Maize hybrids can increase production, bridge the yield gap, and boost up domestic production in Nepal. Three-way cross hybrid introduces an alternative to produce low cost seed for resource poor farmers. A study was performed identify promising yellow white maize developed by International Centre Wheat Improvement (CIMMYT), Mexico Rampur, Nineteen three-way with two checks seventeen one check ...

The Berriasian-Valanginian Fahliyan Formation forms one of the giant reservoirs in the subsurface of the Abadan plain, onshore Iran. A detailed petrographical analysis of the available cores and thin sections revealed that the different diagenetic parameters influenced the reservoir quality of the Fahliyan Formation in this field. The Fahliyan Formation has been influenced by three diagenetic e...

Plant endosperm cells have a nuclear ratio of two maternal genomes to one paternal genome. This 2 to 1 dosage relationship provides a unique system for studying the additivity of gene expression levels in reciprocal hybrids. A combination of microarray profiling and allele-specific expression analysis was performed using RNA isolated from endosperm tissues of maize (Zea mays) inbred lines B73 a...

The study aimed to evaluate the most predictive traits of fresh maize and appropriate multivariate approach for estimating silage fermentation quality. use near infrared (NIRs) instruments allowed rapid, accurate cheap analysis. Samples plant (n = 822) from hybrids (Class Cultivar) early late classes, were harvested at three maturity stages: early, medium late, in areas (level input field) ‘low...

Intense artificial selection over the last 100 years has produced elite maize (Zea mays) inbred lines that combine to produce high-yielding hybrids. To further our understanding of how genome and transcriptome variation contribute to the production of high-yielding hybrids, we generated a draft genome assembly of the inbred line PH207 to complement and compare with the existing B73 reference se...

Plus-hybrid effect refers to a combined effect of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and xenia in maize (Zea mays L.) It could be used in commercial production by growing a mixture of 80% CMS hybrid and 20% of another fertile hybrid. The aim of this research was to examine individual and combined CMS and xenia effects on two hybrids widely grown in Serbia. Sterile and fertile versions of ZP 1 and...

Maize, a vital cereal globally, ranks alongside rice and wheat. Among the significant factors curbing maize yields, post-flowering stalk rot (PFSR) stands as highly destructive ailment. PFSR leads to yield reductions in from 10% 42%, occasionally may reach upto 100% specific regions. This emphasizes potential for elevating India's corn production by developing cultivating PFSR-resistant hybrids...
