Maize inbreds from different heterotic groups as favorable sources for increased potential bioavailability of magnesium, iron, manganese and zinc
(Inst Investigaciones Agropecuarias, Chillan, 2016)
Malnutrition, as a global problem, is mainly caused by low level of mineral elements in staple food (deficient soil). Biofortification is based on selection of genotypes with enhanced concentration of mineral elements in ...
Seed germination and seedling vigour of Italian ryegrass, cocksfoot and timothy following harvest and storage
(Univ Federal Lavras-Ufla, Lavras, 2011)
During post-harvest maturation, different species vary in the length of dormancy breaking or germination increases. Seed dormancy and slow seedling development often limit establishment of forage grass stands. Seed germination ...
UPOV morphological versus molecular markers for maize inbred lines variability determination
(Inst Investigaciones Agropecuarias, Chillan, 2016)
In maize (Zen mays L.) breeding programs, it is very important to define a genetic distance of inbred lines and to establish criteria and biometric methods for the satisfactory germplasm classification. A total of 29 inbred ...
Water-soluble carbohydrates accumulation in peduncle of wheat and its relationship to morpho-anatomical and productive traits
(Lithuanian Research Centre Agriculture & Forestry, Kedainiu R, 2017)
Water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) accumulating in internodes of the wheat stem can be a consequential contributor to grain filling, especially under stress conditions. In this study the WSC content and the WSC specific ...
Modification of antioxidant systems in cell walls of maize roots by different nitrogen sources
(Spanish Natl Inst Agricultural & Food Research & Technolo, Madrid, 2016)
Antioxidant systems of maize root cell walls grown on different nitrogen sources were evaluated. Plants were grown on a medium containing only NO3- or the mixture of NO3-+NH4+, in a 2:1 ratio. Eleven-day old plants, two ...
ESTs analysis in maize developing kernels exposed to single and combined water and heat stresses
(Univ Sao Paolo, Cerquera Cesar, 2011)
Molecular and metabolic response of plants to a combination of two abiotic stresses is unique and cannot be directly extrapolated from the response of plants to each of the stresses individually. cDNA macroarray has become ...
Simulating of Top-Cross system for enhancement of antioxidants in maize grain
(Spanish Natl Inst Agricultural & Food Research & Technolo, Madrid, 2014)
Blue maize (Zea mays L.) is grown for its high content of antioxidants. Conversion of yellow and white to blue maize is time consuming because several genes affect blue color. After each backcross selfing is needed for ...
High grain quality accessions within a maize drought tolerant core collection
(Univ Sao Paolo, Cerquera Cesar, 2014)
Maize (Zea mays L.) landraces are an important source of genes for improving commercial germplasm. Today, drought tolerance and grain quality are major challenges in maize cultivation due to climatic changes and population ...
Long term effects of different soil tillage systems on maize (Zea mays L.) yields
(Czech Academy Agricultural Sciences, Prague, 2011)
The effects of three tillage systems: no-tillage (NT), reduced tillage (RT) and conventional tillage (CT), and three levels of fertilization (0, 258 and 516 kg/ha NPK (58: 18: 24)), on the maize yield during ten years ...
Yield and chemical composition of soybean seed under different irrigation regimes in the Vojvodina region
(Czech Academy Agricultural Sciences, Prague, 2017)
The goal of the present research is to determine an effective sprinkler irrigation strategy for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in temperate climate conditions, in order to maximize yields and seed quality. A three-year ...
