Advances in maize genomics and their value for enhancing genetic gains from breeding
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
Maize is an important crop for food, feed, forage, and fuel across tropical and temperate areas of the world. Diversity studies at genetic, molecular, and functional levels have revealed that, tropical maize germplasm, ...

A multi-trait multi-environment QTL mixed model with an application to drought and nitrogen stress trials in maize ( Zea mays L.)
(Springer, 2008)
Despite QTL mapping being a routine procedure in plant breeding, approaches that fully exploit data from multi-trait multi-environment (MTME) trials are limited. Mixed models have been proposed both for multi-trait QTL ...

Microsatellite markers for genes Lr34/Yr18 and other quantitative trait loci for leaf rust and stripe rust resistance in bread wheat
(American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2003)
Leaf rust and stripe rust, caused by Puccinia triticina and P. striiformis, respectively, are important diseases of wheat in many countries. In this study we sought to identify molecular markers for adult plant resistance ...

Use of IPM in the control of multiple diseases in maize: strategies for selection of host resistance
(African Crop Science Society, 2003)
Maize (Zea mays) production in sub-Saharan Africa is constantly threatened by the potential outbreak of multiple foliar diseases such as maize streak, northern leaf blight, gray leaf spot, and rust. Improvement of host ...

Enhancing introgression of the Opaque-2 trait into elite maize lines using simple sequence repeats
(African Crop Science Society, 2005)
To improve on the efficiency of Quality Protein Maize (QPM) breeding in Uganada, the utility of three simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers (phi057, phi112 and umc1066) in selection and introgression of the opaque-2 (o2) ...

Core Hunter: an algorithm for sampling genetic resources based on multiple genetic measures
(BioMed Central, 2009)
Background: Existing algorithms and methods for forming diverse core subsets currently address either allele representativeness (breeder's preference) or allele richness (taxonomist's preference). The main objective of ...

Physiological and morphological aspects of bipolaris sorokiniana conidia surviving on wheat straw
(Korean Society of Plant Pathology, 2002)
Wheat samples showing typical spot blotch symptoms on stems and sheaths were collected from the field after physiological maturity, and were sealed in paper bags and stored in the laboratory at room temperature to study ...

Characterization of mandarin (Citrus spp.) using morphological and AFLP markers
(Interciencia, 2005)
Sixty-three mandarin (Citrus spp.) cultivars from the collection of the Campo Citrícola Experimental Francisco Villa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, were evaluated using morphological and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) ...
