Stay-green in spring wheat can be determined by spectral reflectance measurements (normalized difference vegetation index) independently from phenology
(Oxford University Press; Society for Experimental Biology, 2012)
The green area displayed by a crop is a good indicator of its photosynthetic capacity, while chlorophyll retention or ?stay-green? is regarded as a key indicator of stress adaptation. Remote-sensing methods were tested to ...

Bipolaris sorokiniana of barley: infection behaviour in different members of Poaceae
(Springer, 2011)
Host range and infection behaviour of Bipolaris sorokiniana of barley was studied in wheat, barley, rice, phalaris, maize, pearlmillet and sugarcane. B. sorokiniana of barley varied in percent germination, germination ...

Diversity and association of isolates and symptoms of spot blotch caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
(Springer, 2010)
A three year (2003-2005) survey was conducted to study the occurrence of spot blotch symptoms on barley genotypes grown in the eastern Gangetic plains of India. Nine types of symptoms were recorded. The two most prevalent ...

A comparative study of protein changes in normal and quality protein maize during tortilla making
(American Association of Cereal Chemists, 1986)
Protein changes were evaluated in two different maize genotypes of contrasting protein quality made into tortillas. In both types of maize, albumins, globulins, zeins, and glutelinlike components became insoluble after ...

Efectos genéticos de la formación de calosa en ápices radicales de lineas de maíz resistentes y susceptibles a suelos ácidos
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2007)
El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar la herencia de la producción de calosa utilizando líneas endogámicas de maíz. Seleccionando 14 líneas (7 tolerantes y 7 susceptibles a suelos ácidos) se formó un dialelo que fue ...

Testcross performance of doubled haploid maize lines derived from tropical adapted backcross populations
(Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura, Unità di Ricerca per la Maiscoltura, 2011)
Doubled haploid (DH) lines produced by in vivo induction of maternal haploids are routinely used in maize breeding. The present study was carried out to assess the performance of 75 doubled haploid maize testcrosses and ...
Article
Linking agricultural research with the agribusiness community from a pro-poor perspective: the importance of human capital development
(Springer, 2012)
Improved crop varieties are a key output of agricultural research and have contributed to significant increases in agricultural production and productivity However, the benefits from advances in plant breeding have often ...

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) ...
Article
The genetic dissection of quantitative traits in crops
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, 2010)
Most traits of interest in plant breeding show quantitative inheritance, which complicate the breeding process since phenotypic performances only partially reflects the genetic values of individuals. The genetic variation ...

Composition and functional analysis of low-molecular-weight glutenin alleles with Aroona near-isogenic lines of bread wheat
(BioMed Central, 2012)
Low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) strongly influence the bread-making quality of bread wheat. These proteins are encoded by a multi-gene family located at the Glu-A3, Glu-B3 and Glu-D3 loci on the short arms ...
