Beyond conservation agriculture
(Frontiers, 2015)
Global support for Conservation Agriculture (CA) as a pathway to Sustainable Intensification is strong. CA revolves around three principles: no-till (or minimal soil disturbance), soil cover, and crop rotation. The benefits ...
Genetic dissection on rice grain shape by the two-dimensional image analysis in one japonica × indica population consisting of recombinant inbred lines
(Springer, 2015)
Two-dimensional (2D) digital image analysis is
efficient for investigating the rice grain shape characters in
large genetic and breeding populations. In this study, we
used 2D image analysis to investigate seven ...
Exploring and mobilizing the Gene Bank Biodiversity for wheat improvement
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
Identifying and mobilizing useful genetic variation from germplasm banks to breeding programs
is an important strategy for sustaining crop genetic improvement. The molecular
diversity of 1,423 spring bread wheat accessions ...
META: A suite of sas programs to analyze multienvironment breeding trials
(2013)
Multi-environment trials (METs) enable the evaluation of the same genotypes in a variety of environments and management conditions. We present here META (Multi Environment Trial Analysis), a suite of 31 SAS programs that ...
Computer simulation in plant breeding
(2012)
As a bridge between theory and experimentation, computer simulation has become a powerful tool in scientific research, providing not only preliminary validation of theories but also guidelines for empirical experiments. ...
Genetic structure and diversity of India hybrid tea
(2011)
The most important evolutionary event in the success of commercial tea cultivation outside China in ~30 countries came about by the origin of India hybrid tea in India, derived from the extensive spontaneous hybridization ...
Cropping systems and crop residue management in the Trans-Gangetic Plains: Issues and challenges for conservation agriculture from village surveys
(2011)
Conservation agriculture practices are being advocated to help sustain crop productivity gains and secure environmental sustainability in the Trans-Gangetic Plains, India?s Green Revolution heartland. The paper illustrates ...
Genomic prediction of breeding values when modeling genotype × environment interaction using pedigree and dense molecular markers
(2012)
Genomic selection (GS) has become an important aid in plant and animal breeding. Multienvironment (multitrait) models allow borrowing of information across environments (traits), which could enhance prediction accuracy. ...
Decomposition rates and residue-colonizing microbial communities of Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal protein Cry3Bb-expressing (Bt) and non-Bt corn hybrids in the field.
(2011)
Despite the rapid adoption of crops expressing the insecticidal Cry protein(s) from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), public concern continues to mount over the potential environmental impacts. Reduced residue decomposition ...
