Heterosis and combining ability among CIMMYT's mid-altitude early to intermediate maturing maize (Zea mays L.) populations
(Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura, Unità di Ricerca per la Maiscoltura, 2009)
Maize is an important food crop in sub-Saharan Africa. There is an increasing demand for early maturing maize cultivars even though long-season maize cultivars yield more than early maturing cultivars under favourable ...

Genomic prediction of breeding values when modeling genotype × environment interaction using pedigree and dense molecular markers
(Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), 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. ...

Heterosis and combining ability of CIMMYT's tropical early and intermediate maturity maize (Zea mays L.) germplasm
(Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura, Unità di Ricerca per la Maiscoltura, 1990)
A 10 parent diallel was formed to determine combining ability and heterotic patterns among CIMMYT'S tropically adapted, early and intermediate maturity maize (Zea mays L.) gene pools and populations. The parents and their ...
Article
A general Bayesian estimation method of linear-bilinear models applied to plant breeding trials with genotype × environment interaction
(Springer Verlag; American Statistical Association; International Biometrics Society, 2012)
Statistical analyses of two-way tables with interaction arise in many different fields of research. This study proposes the von Mises-Fisher distribution as a prior on the set of orthogonal matrices in a linear-bilinear ...

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 ...

Effect of leaf rust on grain yield and yield traits of durum wheats with race-specific and slow-rusting resistance to leaf rust
(American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2006)
Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is an important disease of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum) in many countries. We compared the effectiveness of different types of resistance in International Maize and Wheat Improvement ...
Article
Heterosis and combining ability of CIMMYT's tropical late white maize germplasm
(Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura, Unità di Ricerca per la Maiscoltura, 1992)
Seven tropically adepted, late maturity maize gene pools and populations (Populations 21, 22, 25, 29, 32 and 43, and Pool 24) developed and improved at CIMMYT were crossed in a 7 x 7 diallel mating system. The parent and ...

Herencia del vigor de plántula y su relación con caracteres de planta adulta en líneas endogámicas de maíz tropical
(Colegio de Postgraduados, 2007)
In plant breeding programs seed and seedling vigor are important to assure germination, emergence and initial development of the plant. This study was conducted to determine inheritance type of traits related to maize ...
Article
Cluster analysis, an approach to sampling variability in maize accessions
(Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura, Unità di Ricerca per la Maiscoltura, 1996)
Cluster analysis is frequently used to classify maize (Zen mays L.) accessions and can be used by breeders and geneticists to identify subsets of accessions which have potential utility for specific breeding or genetic ...
Article
Identification of superior quality protein maize hybrids for different mega-environments using the biplot methodology
(Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura, Unità di Ricerca per la Maiscoltura, 2006)
The utilization of site regression models (SREG) on multilocation testing allow the detection of significant differences in the genotype x environment interaction, even though these may not be detected by the analysis of ...
