Realistic experimental protocols to screen for drought adaptation in controlled conditions are crucial if high throughput phenotyping is to be used for the identification of high performance lines, and is especially important ...

{Objective} Zhou 8425B is the most important core parent and has been widely used in the South Part of the Yellow and Huai Valleys Winter Wheat Zone. Understanding the principal components and detecting the wheat stripe ...

In agriculture and plant breeding, multienvironment trials over multiple years are conducted to evaluate and predict genotypic performance under different environmental conditions and to analyze, study, and interpret ...

Four environments with contrasting potential for agricultural productivity and infrastructure development were identified in Guanajuato State, Mexico, to test hypotheses about the relationship of maize biological diversity ...

There is a substantial challenge in identifying appropriate cultivars from databases for introduction into a breeding program. We propose an indirect selection procedure that illustrates how strategically designed ...

Much research has been conducted using least squares estimates of the linear?bilinear model additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI). The main difficulty with the standard linear?bilinear models is that ...

The availability of thousands of genome-wide molecular markers has made possible the use of genomic selection in plants and animals. However, the evaluation of models for genomic selection in plant breeding populations ...

The availability of genomic resources can facilitate progress in plant breeding through the application of advanced molecular technologies for crop improvement. This is particularly important in the case of less researched ...
