AB  - Popcorn is a specialty maize variety with popping abilities. Although considered a snack,
popcorn flakes provide a variety of benefits for the human diet. To evaluate the change in content of
bioactive compounds in response to microwave popping, the kernels and flakes of twelve popcorn hybrids
were assayed. Accordingly, the content of phytic acid, glutathione, phenolic compounds, carotenoids,
and tocopherols, as well as the antioxidant activity, were evaluated. In all evaluated popcorn hybrids,
the most pronounced significant average decrease of 71.94% was observed for GSH content, followed by
57.72% and 16.12% decreases for lutein + zeaxanthin and phytic acid content, respectively. In response
to popping, in the majority of the evaluated hybrids, the most pronounced significant average changes
of a 63.42% increase and a 27.61% decrease were observed for DPPH, followed by a 51.52% increase and
a 24.48% decrease for β-carotene, as well as, a 48.62% increase and a 16.71% decrease for α-Tocopherol
content, respectively. The applied principal component and hierarchical cluster analyses revealed the
distinct separation of popcorn hybrids’ kernels and flakes, indicating the existence of a unique linkage of
changes in bioactive compound content in response to popping

AB  - Upotreba kukuruza u ishrani ljudi i životinja ima široku primenu jer predstavlja
izvor različitih tohemikalija koje povoljno utiču na metaboličke procese. Tokom
vegetacije biljka kukuruza izložena je različitim uticajima abiotičkog i biotičkog
stresa. Napad jedne od najznačajnijih štetočina kukuruza, larve Ostrinia nubilalis
zavisi od uslova sredine i može dovesti do smenjenja prinosa i do 30%. Oštećenja
nadzemnih delova biljke povećavaju rizik od pojave truleži klipa, jer predstavljaju
mesta

sekundarne infekcije izazvane različitim patogenim gljivama. Jedna
od neophodnih agrotehničkih mera je primena pesticida u poljoprivredi u cilju
suzbijanju kako štetočina tako i korova, obezbeđujući stabilan prinosa. S druge
strane, primena pesticida, nepovoljni uslovi spoljašnje sredine i biotički stres mogu

AB  - During storage, seed deteriorates, loses viability and quality. Given that a
set of interlinked biochemical changes (i.e. activation of enzymes, synthesis of
growth-promoting substances, germination inhibitors’ metabolism and cell damage
repair) occurs in response to seed exposure to priming stimuli, this experiment
aimed at estimating the efficiency of different seed priming on vigour and overall
maize seedlings performance. Four maize landraces kept for 5 and 35 years under
cold storage–CS (t=4-5°C; RH=45-50%) were evaluated, using standard seed germination
test
on
lter
paper
(BP,

was
recorded
in

of
long

lifespan,
being
mainly

genotype-specific in seeds of short CS lifespan. For seeds of both the short and
long CS lifespans, standard testing on filter paper showed that the halo–KNO3
 and
acidic–H2
S priming contributed to root, i.e. whole seedling fresh weight increase,
respectively. Both seed priming contributed to root i.e. shoot dry weight in seeds
of long i.e., short CS lifespan, respectively. Under conditions of cold test, in seeds
of both the short and long CS lifespans, a positive impact of all evaluated seed
priming on the seedlings fresh and especially dry weight was observed.

je da su svi predtretmani doprineli porastu sveže i naročito suve mase klijanca., During storage, seed deteriorates, loses viability and quality. Given that a
set of interlinked biochemical changes (i.e. activation of enzymes, synthesis of
growth-promoting substances, germination inhibitors’ metabolism and cell damage
repair) occurs in response to seed exposure to priming stimuli, this experiment
aimed at estimating the efficiency of different seed priming on vigour and overall
maize seedlings performance. Four maize landraces kept for 5 and 35 years under
cold storage–CS (t=4-5°C; RH=45-50%) were evaluated, using standard seed germination
test
on
lter

and
cold

long CS lifespans, standard testing on filter paper showed that the halo–KNO3
 and
acidic–H2
S priming contributed to root, i.e. whole seedling fresh weight increase,
respectively. Both seed priming contributed to root i.e. shoot dry weight in seeds
of long i.e., short CS lifespan, respectively. Under conditions of cold test, in seeds
of both the short and long CS lifespans, a positive impact of all evaluated seed
priming on the seedlings fresh and especially dry weight was observed.",

AB  - Plant genetic resources of any country represent its natural wealth. Gene Bank
of the Maize Research Institute "Zemun Polje" with over 5,000 samples
represents national guardian of such. Local maize populations, tributing to their
diversity, represent a key source of desirable traits for breeding programs, such
as nutritional values for protein, starch and lipids. Today’s corn hybrids are
based on a narrow genetic base, where in race for yield, often insufficient
attention is paid to the nutritional composition of the hybrids themselves.
Correct selection of material from the Gene Bank can only be achieved with
pre-breeding selection. Such prebreeding would cover wide material and
should detect and reduce it to a desirable and more acceptable volume that can
further be introduced into commercial breeding programs. This paper covered
analysis of protein, starch and lipid content in grain of 31 local maize
populations, crossed with two commercial testers ZPL-217 (BSSS) and ZPL-
255/75-5 (Lancaster Sure Crop) with line x tester method used for combinig
ability calculation. According to the results the best combiner for higher lipid
content is A3 landrace with a GCA value of 0.33*, for protein content landraces
A9 and A 38 with GCA values of 0.51* and 0.57*, respectively, were found.
As for populations A 17 and A 37 with the GCA values of 1.52* and 1.36*,
respectively, they proved to be the best combiners for starch. Mentioned
populations showed significant GCA values with a probability level of 0.05,
showing their possible significance in further breeding application.

to hybrid-, year- and parental components-dependence pattern. The year effect
greatly influenced the variation of all examined parameters, the male effect was not
significant for yield components, while the effects of both, male and female parent
were significant for most of the examined quality traits. PC analysis indicated a
significant effect of the hybrid’s genetic composition on physical parameters and
kernel structure. Hybrids of male LM3 had higher 1000 kernelweight, portion of
soft endosperm and resistance to grinding, and lower water absorption index and
pericarp portion. Hybrids of female LF2 had a higher portion of endosperm, while
hybrids of female LF1 had higher portion of germ and oil in the grain. Accordingly,
simultaneous breeding for increased starch and protein resulted in yield increase,
forincrease protein and oil content in yield reduction, while simultaneous breeding
for increased starch and oil content is hampered by multiple negative relationships.
Although significant differences in quality parameters were determined, they did
not make a qualitative difference in production trials. Therefore, it is necessary to
form special breeding programmes for different purposes.

AB  - Together with rice and wheat, maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most significant cereal crops worldwide. Dent, flint, floury, popping, and sweet maize are the five main categories of commercially available maize hybrids. Along with white, yellow, and orange, red, blue, purple, and brown are other possible grain colors. Grain quality is only of secondary value in the hybrid maize breeding process because the focus is mostly on raising the level and consistency of the yield. The genetic basis of commercial maize hybrids has significantly narrowed as a result of the hybrid breeding process itself, as well as economic factors and rivalry between breeding companies. On the market at the same time, there are often just a few closely related hybrids with comparable technological and nutrient standards.
The aim of this study was to analyze how 33 maize hybrids' physical characteristics and chemical composition were affected by genotype. The hybrids were grown in 2022 at Zemun Polje, Serbia, and evaluated in the laboratory of the Department of Food Technology and Biochemistry of the Maize Research Institute “Zemun Polje“. Manual dissection of the grains revealed that the yellow dent genotype ZP 6066 had the lowest content of pericarp fraction (5.77%), the popcorn genotype ZP 611k had the highest content of pericarp fraction (10.38%), the sweet hybrid genotype ZP 504su had the highest content of germ fraction (16.09%), and the popcorn genotype ZP 6119k had the highest content of endosperm (84.13%). A crucial physical parameter of grain quality, the 1000-kernel weight ranged from 120.98 g (popcorn hybrid ZP 617k) to 398.13 g (yellow dent ZP 7072). The results showed that the starch, protein, oil, crude fiber, and ash contents of 33 different maize genotypes varied between intervals: from 56.79% (sweet hybrid ZP 504su) to 70.38% (yellow dent hybrid ZP 4123); from 10.95% (yellow dent ZP 6566) to 13.28% (ZP 504su); from 3.14% (yellow popcorn ZP 611k) to 7.37% (ZP 504su). Standard deviations of the respective chemical properties were: 2.45%, 0.62%, 0.68%, 0.31%, and 0.08%. Future breeding initiatives aimed at developing novel and enhanced genotypes of maize hybrids with higher grain quality attributes for various applications may find considerable value in our findings. It is crucial to create new breeding programs that use more focused methods to produce hybrids of maize that are meant to serve particular functions. Enabling the production of hybrids with improved nutritional and technological quality of both the starting material as well as the parental lines should receive special consideration.

Enabling the production of hybrids with improved nutritional and technological quality of both the starting material as well as the parental lines should receive special consideration.",

AB  - A high level of genetic purity in crop varieties must be achieved and maintained for
agronomic performance, encouraging investment and innovation in plant breeding and ensuring that
the improvements in productivity and quality imparted by breeders are delivered to the consumer.
Since the success of hybrid seed production is dependent upon the genetic purity of the parental lines,
in this study, the experimental F1exp maize hybrid and its parental inbreeds were used as a model
system to examine the discriminative power of morphological, biochemical and SSR markers for
seed purity assay. The highest number of off-type plants was estimated by morphological markers.
According to the comparison of prolamins and albumins banding patterns of parental and derived
F1exp seeds, genetic impurities could not be detected. Molecular analysis detected two types of
genetic profile irregularity. Beside its use for verifying varieties of maize, report on umc1545 primer

AB  - Southeast Europe (SEE) is a very important maize-growing region, comparable to the Corn belt region of the United
States, with similar dent germplasm (dent by dent hybrids). Historically, this region has undergone several genetic
material swaps, following the trends in the US, with one of the most signifcant swaps related to US aid programs
after WWII. The imported accessions used to make double-cross hybrids were also mixed with previously adapted
germplasm originating from several more distant OPVs, supporting the transition to single cross-breeding. Many of
these materials were deposited at the Maize Gene Bank of the Maize Research Institute Zemun Polje (MRIZP) between
the 1960s and 1980s. A part of this Gene Bank (572 inbreds) was genotyped with Afymetrix Axiom Maize Genotyping Array with 616,201 polymorphic variants. Data were merged with two other genotyping datasets with mostly
European fint (TUM dataset) and dent (DROPS dataset) germplasm. The fnal pan-European dataset consisted of 974
inbreds and 460,243 markers. Admixture analysis showed seven ancestral populations representing European fint,
B73/B14, Lancaster, B37, Wf9/Oh07, A374, and Iodent pools. Subpanel of inbreds with SEE origin showed a lack of
Iodent germplasm, marking its historical context. Several signatures of selection were identifed at chromosomes 1, 3,
6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. The regions under selection were mined for protein-coding genes and were used for gene ontology (GO) analysis, showing a highly signifcant overrepresentation of genes involved in response to stress. Our results
suggest the accumulation of favorable allelic diversity, especially in the context of changing climate in the genetic
resources of SEE.

AB  - The aim of this study was to assess the chemical composition and bioactive properties of the wholegrain flour obtained from eleven maize inbred lines to identify genotypes with increased potential for the development of hybrids with high nutritional and functional value, suitable for food production. The maize inbreds, including seven standard yellow, two QPM (quality protein maize) and two lines for red kernel hybrids, were grown in the experimental field of the Maize Research Institute at the location of Zemun Polje, Serbia. Wholegrain maize flour was got by grinding the maize grain in a laboratory mill. The assessment of the chemical composition and content of certain bioactive compounds, as well as the total antioxidant capacity, was conducted using standard laboratory procedures. The highest starch content (73.73%) was determined in line L8, while line L10 had the highest protein content (12.82%). Among soluble proteins, the α-zein fraction was dominant in most of the lines, ranging from 0.92% to 3.57%. The highest content of total fibres (NDF) was determined in red kernel line L9 (15.77%). Line L8 was the richest in total carotenoids (21.08 μg βCE/g d.m.), while line L7 had the highest total antioxidant capacity (34.30 mmol Trolox/kg d.m.), which can be explained by the presence of anthocyanins in the red grain. Line L1 had the highest content of total sugars (3.36%), and line L4 had the lowest (1.44%). Most of the samples of inbred lines investigated in this study showed good quality parameters regarding chemical composition and bioactive properties. The obtained results may provide some valuable guidelines needed in the following stages of maize breeding and open up various possibilities for the utilization of wholegrain maize flour in the food industry.

Linije kukuruza, uključujući sedam standardnih žutih, dve QPM i dve linije za hibrid crvenog zrna, gajene su na oglednom polju Instituta za kukuruz na lokaciji Zemun Polje, Srbija.

Procena hemijskog sastava i sadržaja pojedinih bioaktivnih jedinjenja, kao i ukupnog antioksidativnog kapaciteta, sprovedena je primenom standardnih laboratorijskih procedura. Najviši sadržaj skroba (73,73%) utvrđen je u liniji L8, dok je linija L10 imala najveći sadržaj proteina (12,82%). Među rastvorljivim proteinima, frakcija α-zeina bila je dominantna u većini linija, u rasponu od 0,92% do 3,57%. Najveći sadržaj ukupnih vlakana (NDF) utvrđen je u zrnu crvene boje Linije 9 (15,77%). Linija L8 je bila najbogatija ukupnim karotenoidima (21,08 mg βCE/g s.m.), dok je linija L7 imala najveći ukupni antioksidativni kapacitet (34,30 mmol Trolox/kg d.m.), što se može objasniti prisustvom antocijana u crvenom zrnu. Linija L1 je imala najveći sadržaj ukupnih šećera (3,36%), a linija L4 imala je najmanji (1,44%). Svi uzorci novih inbred linija ispitivani u ovoj studiji pokazali su dobre parametre kvaliteta u pogledu hemijskog sastava i bioaktivnih svojstava. Dobijeni rezultati mogu dati neke dragocene smernice potrebne u narednim fazama oplemenjivanja kukuruza, kao i otvoriti različite mogućnosti za korišćenje integralnog kukuruznog brašna u prehrambenoj industriji.

Furthermore, the interest in food safety and food waste management is gaining momentum. A potential health hazard stems from the presence of acrylamide (AA), a mutagen and Group 2A carcinogen, in food. When food is heated to a temperature above 120 °C during commercial or home cooking, free asparagine (Asn) and reducing sugars undergo the Maillard reaction, which is where AA primarily develops. According to research, foods produced from cereal grains may account for 20–60% of all AA intake. Implementation of a "field-to-fork" strategy that interconnects the food researchers and policymakers with the whole supply chain from cereal growers and the food industry with the consumers, safer and healthier cereal-based food production can be achieved.

AB  - In order to provide continuous progress in maize breeding, it is necessary to expand the genetic base of breeding working collections by introgression of new germplasm into existing heterotic groups. Landraces can be valuable donors of desirable traits despite a large performance gap compared to current commercial varieties. Information on the heterotic pattern of landraces necessary for decision on their incorporation into pre-breeding and breeding programmes, have been made. Molecular characterisation of landraces can provide important information on their diversity before evaluation of their combining ability through crosses to divergent testers. In this study, molecular characterisation of 31 landraces and five divergent testers was performed using 29 polymorphic Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers, in order to examine their genetic divergence. According to cluster analysis, landraces were grouped into four clearly defined groups and one separate branch. The MB1509 landrace differed significantly from all other landraces and testers used. The testers were grouped according to known information on their pedigree. The correspondence analysis pointed out the complexity of mutual relations of landraces and testers. Based on the results obtained by molecular markers, it can be, with high reliability, concluded with which testers the landraces will not give heterosis, making field research more effective (by reducing the number of crosses). The results indicated that the variability of landraces is significant, and that belonging to a certain heterotic group enables the correct selection of the initial material for pre-breeding and their use in breeding programmes.

AB  - Primary metabolites are directly implicated in plant growth processes, photosynthesis, and
respiration, allowing plants to acclimatize and recover from drought stress. Accordingly, this
study aimed to determine alterations in content of sugars, total protein, seventeen amino acids
and thirty two fatty acids in seeds of maize genotypes differing in drought tolerance in terms
of improved plant productivity e.g. increased grain yield obtained under severe water deficit.
The experiment was conducted under irrigation and rain-fed conditions. Long-term water
deficit stress directly affected plant metabolism, resulting in profound changes in biosynthesis
and transport of evaluated primary metabolites. Water deficit caused the inhibition of sugar
metabolism (i.e. declined level of sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose and lactose), bein more
pronounced in seeds of drought-sensitive genotypes. Slight decrease in palmitic, linoleic and
α-linoleic fatty acids were evidenced in drougth susceptible and medium drought-tolerant
maize genotypes. However, significant increase was observed for oleic and especially stearic
fatty acid content. In response to water deficit, medium drought-tolerant and tolerant genotypes
exhibited amino acids content increase, especialy for methionine, lysine, isoleucine and
leucine, with preserved incorporation of amino acids into protein chain. This was confirmed
with highly significant positive correlations between total protein and amino acids content
(p≤0.01). The increased protein content in drought tolerant genotypes is linked to altered C-
partitioning, which changes the C/N ratio, to favor more N-assimilation, which was confirmed
with highly significant negative correlations between sugars and protein content (p≤0.01), i.e.
sugars and amino acids content (p≤0.01), respectively. Identification of sensitive sites (i.e.
biochemical pathways for seed reserves) related to seed-filling processes in stressed plants
under long-term water deficit, would provide useful cues in developing strategies to improve
grain yield and its quality.

AB  - The objective of this study was to early identify genotypes with increased potential for the development of hybrids with high nutritional and functional value, suitable for food production, by assessing the grain quality parameters of eleven new maize inbred lines. The inbreds, including nine standard yellow and two red kernel lines, were grown in the experimental field of the Maize Research Institute at the location of Zemun Polje, Serbia in 2020. Wholegrain maize flour was obtained by a dry grind process on a laboratory mill. The assessment of the chemical composition and content of certain bioactive compounds, as well as total antioxidant capacity, was conducted using standard laboratory procedures. The highest starch content (73.73%), was determined in Line 8, while Line 10 had the highest protein content (12.82%). The lowest oil content was determined in red kernel Line 7, namely 4.87%. Among soluble proteins, the α-zein fraction was dominant in most of the lines, ranging from 0.92% to 3.57%. The glutelin and albumin fraction were present in a lower percentage, followed by the globulin fraction. The highest content of total fibers (NDF) was determined in red kernel Line 9 (15.77%). Line 8 was the richest in total carotenoids (21.08 μg βCE/g d.m.), while Line 7 had the highest total antioxidant capacity (34.30 mmol Trolox/kg d.m.), which can be explained by the presence of anthocyanins in the red grain. Line 1 had the highest content of total sugars (3.36%), and Line 4 had the lowest (1.44%). All samples of new inbred lines investigated in this study showed good quality parameters regarding chemical composition and bioactive properties. The obtained results may provide some valuable guidelines needed in the following stages of maize breeding as well as open up various possibilities for the utilization of wholegrain maize flour in the food industry.

AB  - In order to assess the silage potential of maize hybrids, the nutritional quality and the enzymatic in vitro digestibility of five local maize hybrids (ZP 707, ZP 7357, ZP 7072, ZP 7777, and ZP 6263) was tested in the laboratory of the Group for Food Technology and Biochemistry of the Maize Research Institute "Zemun Polje". The hybrids were grown at a total of four locations, one in Srem (Autonomous Province of Vojvodina) and three in Central Serbia. The hybrid 7001 was used as a standard. The selection of hybrids for this research was made on the basis of the actuality of individual hybrids and the market orientation of the Maize Research Institute. The following properties were investigated: dry matter content, lignocellulose fiber content, and in vitro dry matter digestibility of the whole plant. According to the achieved results, it can be concluded that hybrids ZP 707, ZP 7357, followed by ZP 7777 proved to be the maize genotypes highly preferable for the production of silage. All tested hybrids achieved better results than the standard in most locations. Hybrid ZP 707 on average had the highest in vitro dry matter digestibility (61.43 ± 1.86%), as well as the lowest content of all lignocellulosic fibers (NDF-52.76%, ADF-24.40%, ADL-2.58, hemicellulose-28.36, and cellulose-21.82%), which all indicates its potential as a silage maize form suitable for cultivation in different agro-ecological conditions. In terms of digestibility and dry matter content, the ZP 707 hybrid can be singled out as the most stable, i.e. it is appropriate for growing both in lowland areas and at higher altitudes. ZP 6263 proved to be the most inferior hybrid at most locations, while based on in vitro digestibility and dry matter content, ZP 7072 hybrid varied the most. The digestibility of the whole plant was negatively affected by the higher content of primarily lignin (ADL), followed by ADF and cellulose fraction share. Although it is optimal to harvest silage maize in the waxy maturity stage of grain ripeness, when the dry matter content of the whole plant is in the range between 30 and 35%, the harvest time in some hybrids in some locations was significantly exceeded, which affected the results of dry matter digestibility. The findings obtained in this study can be highly useful for future breeding programs directed toward creating new and improved silage maize hybrids.

AB  - The presence of acrylamide, a mutagen and a Group 2A carcinogen, in food, is a health concern
that might raise cancer risk. Acrylamide is mainly formed in the Maillard reaction between free
asparagine and reducing sugars, during industrial thermal food processing or home cooking, at
a temperature over 120°C. The European Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2158 established
mitigation measures and benchmarks for acrylamide levels in some food categories, which
were incorporated into the Serbian regulation. Research shows that cereal-based products may
bring about 20-60% of acrylamide intake. In Serbia, there are no guidelines for the cultivation
of cereals with a reduced potential for acrylamide formation. Knowing that the amount of free
asparagine is proportional to the formation of acrylamide in the majority of food products,
one of the key approaches is to select the ingredients with a lower level of asparagine. Studies
indicate that applying foliar fertilizers with increased sulfur content in some cereals influences
the decrease of free asparagine synthesis in grain, lowering the acrylamide potential in cerealbased foods. Furthermore, the choice of the appropriate raw material and production parameters
can significantly influence the formation of acrylamide in food products. This review aims to
provide insight into current strategies for the mitigation of acrylamide in cereal-based foods, as
the status of acrylamide in Serbian regulations
AB  - Prisustvo akrilamida, mutagena i kancerogena grupe 2A, u hrani, predstavlja zdravstveni problem koji može povećati rizik od raka.

abstract = "The presence of acrylamide, a mutagen and a Group 2A carcinogen, in food, is a health concern
that might raise cancer risk. Acrylamide is mainly formed in the Maillard reaction between free
asparagine and reducing sugars, during industrial thermal food processing or home cooking, at
a temperature over 120°C. The European Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2158 established
mitigation measures and benchmarks for acrylamide levels in some food categories, which
were incorporated into the Serbian regulation. Research shows that cereal-based products may
bring about 20-60% of acrylamide intake. In Serbia, there are no guidelines for the cultivation
of cereals with a reduced potential for acrylamide formation. Knowing that the amount of free
asparagine is proportional to the formation of acrylamide in the majority of food products,
one of the key approaches is to select the ingredients with a lower level of asparagine. Studies
indicate that applying foliar fertilizers with increased sulfur content in some cereals influences
the decrease of free asparagine synthesis in grain, lowering the acrylamide potential in cerealbased foods. Furthermore, the choice of the appropriate raw material and production parameters
can significantly influence the formation of acrylamide in food products. This review aims to
provide insight into current strategies for the mitigation of acrylamide in cereal-based foods, as
the status of acrylamide in Serbian regulations, Prisustvo akrilamida, mutagena i kancerogena grupe 2A, u hrani, predstavlja zdravstveni problem koji može povećati rizik od raka.

Although the accessions conserved in gene banks are valuable sources for breeding varietes more nutritious, productive and resilient to pests, diseases and climatic changes, there is a limited information of their agronomic characteristics. To overcome this, the European Evaluation Network (EVA) was established in 2019 by the European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR). All activities within the EVA networks are intended at the pre-breeding stage, to increase the knowledge about publicly available crop germplasm, with aim to introducing these into breeding programmes. Through crop-specific public–private partnerships, maize EVA is generating standardized evaluation data (both the phenotypic and the genotypic) for numerous accessions and landraces available in European gene banks. During the project, a total of 95 MRIZP accessions will be genotyped and evaluated in multilocation experiments for futher use by breeding companies.

AB  - In the process of hybrid maize breeding, the greatest attention is directed towards increasing the level and stability of the yield, while grain quality is of secondary importance. The very
principles of hybrid breeding, as well as the economic aspects and competition between different breeding companies, have led to an enormous narrowing of the genetic basis of commercial
maize hybrids. Concurrently, there is usually a small number of often related hybrids of similar
technological and nutritional quality present on the market. Six best-selling ZP maize hybrids
in the previous ten years were chosen as the subject of this study. In the period from 2009-2018,
both the yield components and parameters of technological and nutritional quality of the grain
were studied. It was found that the examined parameters varied a lot in different years of production and that some parameters were more influenced by genotype (number of kernel rows per ear,
portion of pericarp, and crude fiber content) while others were more influenced by the environment (kernel weight per ear, total protein, starch, and oil content, respectively). The amount and
the distribution of precipitation during the vegetative period affected not only the yield components i.e. grain yield but also the technological qualitz parametres and nutritional properties of
the grain. Based on the observed parental components, it is evident that they are related hybrids
that, despite the high genotype by environment interactions, consequently have similar parameters of technological quality and nutritional composition. The imperative is to develop special
breeding programs aiming to create both the starting material and parental components to provide hybrids of improved technological quality and nutritional properties on the market. In that
way, the needs of the processing industry for raw materials of certain characteristics can be met.
AB  - U procesu hibridnog oplemenjivanja kukuruza, najviše pažnje se posvećuje povećanju nivoa
i stabilnosti prinosa, dok je kvalitet zrna od sekundarnog značaja. Sami principi hibridnog oplemenjivanja, kao i ekonomski aspekti i konkurencija između različitih oplemenjivačkih kuća,
doveli su do enormnog suženja genetičke osnove komercijalnih hibrida kukuruza. Na tržištu je
istovremeno najčešće prisutan mali broj, često srodnih hibrida sličnog tehnološkog i nutritivnog
kvaliteta. Za ovo istraživanje je odabrano šest ZP hibrida kukuruza najprodavanijih u prethodnih
deset godina. U periodu od 2009-2018. godine, praćene su, kako komponente prinosa, tako i
parametri tehnološkog i nutritivnog kvaliteta zrna. Utvrđeno je da su ispitivani parametri veoma
varirali u različitim godinama gajenja, kao i da su neki parametri bili pod većim uticajem genotipa (broj redova zrna, udeo perikarpa i sirove celuloze), a neki pod većim uticajem spoljašnje sredine (masa zrna po klipu, udeo ukupnih proteina, skroba i ulja, respektivno). Količina i raspored
padavina u toku vegetativnog perioda su uticali ne samo na komponente prinosa, odnosno na
prinos zrna, već i na parametre tehnološkog kvaliteta i nutritivna svojstva. Na osnovu posmatranih roditeljskih komponenata, evidentno je da se radi o srodnim hibridima koji, bez obzira na
visoke interakcije između genotipa i spoljašnje sredine, posledično imaju slične parametre tehnološkog kvaliteta kao i nutritivni sastav. Neophodno je razvijati posebne oplemenjivačke programe
koji imaju za cilj stvaranje kako početnog materijala, tako i roditeljskih komponenata, kako bi
se na tržištu obezbedili hibridi poboljšanog tehnološkog kvaliteta i nutritivnih svojstava i na taj
način zadovoljile potrebe prerađivačke industrije za sirovinama određenih karakteristika.

in the previous ten years were chosen as the subject of this study. In the period from 2009-2018,
both the yield components and parameters of technological and nutritional quality of the grain
were studied. It was found that the examined parameters varied a lot in different years of production and that some parameters were more influenced by genotype (number of kernel rows per ear,
portion of pericarp, and crude fiber content) while others were more influenced by the environment (kernel weight per ear, total protein, starch, and oil content, respectively). The amount and
the distribution of precipitation during the vegetative period affected not only the yield components i.e. grain yield but also the technological qualitz parametres and nutritional properties of
the grain. Based on the observed parental components, it is evident that they are related hybrids
that, despite the high genotype by environment interactions, consequently have similar parameters of technological quality and nutritional composition. The imperative is to develop special
breeding programs aiming to create both the starting material and parental components to provide hybrids of improved technological quality and nutritional properties on the market. In that
way, the needs of the processing industry for raw materials of certain characteristics can be met., U procesu hibridnog oplemenjivanja kukuruza, najviše pažnje se posvećuje povećanju nivoa
i stabilnosti prinosa, dok je kvalitet zrna od sekundarnog značaja. Sami principi hibridnog oplemenjivanja, kao i ekonomski aspekti i konkurencija između različitih oplemenjivačkih kuća,
doveli su do enormnog suženja genetičke osnove komercijalnih hibrida kukuruza. Na tržištu je
istovremeno najčešće prisutan mali broj, često srodnih hibrida sličnog tehnološkog i nutritivnog
kvaliteta. Za ovo istraživanje je odabrano šest ZP hibrida kukuruza najprodavanijih u prethodnih
deset godina. U periodu od 2009-2018. godine, praćene su, kako komponente prinosa, tako i
parametri tehnološkog i nutritivnog kvaliteta zrna. Utvrđeno je da su ispitivani parametri veoma
varirali u različitim godinama gajenja, kao i da su neki parametri bili pod većim uticajem genotipa (broj redova zrna, udeo perikarpa i sirove celuloze), a neki pod većim uticajem spoljašnje sredine (masa zrna po klipu, udeo ukupnih proteina, skroba i ulja, respektivno). Količina i raspored
padavina u toku vegetativnog perioda su uticali ne samo na komponente prinosa, odnosno na
prinos zrna, već i na parametre tehnološkog kvaliteta i nutritivna svojstva. Na osnovu posmatranih roditeljskih komponenata, evidentno je da se radi o srodnim hibridima koji, bez obzira na
visoke interakcije između genotipa i spoljašnje sredine, posledično imaju slične parametre tehnološkog kvaliteta kao i nutritivni sastav. Neophodno je razvijati posebne oplemenjivačke programe
koji imaju za cilj stvaranje kako početnog materijala, tako i roditeljskih komponenata, kako bi
se na tržištu obezbedili hibridi poboljšanog tehnološkog kvaliteta i nutritivnih svojstava i na taj
način zadovoljile potrebe prerađivačke industrije za sirovinama određenih karakteristika.",

AB  - Popcorn is a type of specialty maize and plays important role in the history and the spread of
this species. This type of maize historicaly received little atention in genetic diversity studies
while the fact is that information on genetic variability and population structure is of crucial
importance for improvement of breeding programs. The genetic variation of popcorn maize
was mainly analysed using SSR markers, but there are not many studies applying high-density
SNP markers with lower genotyping errors. The aim of this study was the assesment of genetic
diversity and population structure of popcorn germplasm which represents the genetic
resources currently used in breeding programs in Maize Research Institute „Zemun Polje“.
Molecular characterization of 44 popcorn genotypes was done using 25k SNP Illumina Infinum
Array for maize. After quality control filtering, 12335 SNPs were selected for downstream
analyses. Genetic distance detected ranged from 0.001 to 0.51 with an average of 0.33. The
majority of genetic distances (70.6%) fell between 0.30 and 0.51 revealing significant genetic
variability in a set of maize genotypes under study. SNP markes were moderatly informative
with an average PIC value of 0.26. Also, for more than 50% of SNPs, PIC value was greater
than 0.30. The average observed heterozygosity was 0.04 ranging from 0 to 0.11. The
clustering, principal component and model-based STRUCTURE analyses showed similar
grouping of popcorn lines, generally in accordance with their genetic background. The results
of this research gave valuable information for initiation of future breeding strategies.

AB  - Plants reconfigure their metabolic pathways to cope with water deficit. The aim of this study was to determine the status of the physiological parameters and the content of phenolic acids in the upper most ear leaf of maize inbred lines contrasting in drought tolerance in terms of improved plant productivity e.g., increased grain yield. The experiment was conducted under irrigation and rain-fed conditions. In drought-tolerant lines, the effect of water deficit was reflected through a chlorophyll and nitrogen balance index increase followed by a flavonols index decrease. The opposite trend was noticed in drought susceptible inbreds, with the exception of the anthocyanins index. Moreover, in comparison to irrigation treatment, opposite trends in the correlations between grain yield and physiological parameters found under water deficit conditions indicated the activation of different metabolic pathways in defense against water deficit stress. Concerning phenolic acid content, water deficit caused the reduction of protocatechuic, caffeic, and sinapic acid in all inbreds evaluated. However, the highly pronounced increase of ferulic and especially cinnamic acid content under water deficit conditions indicated possible crucial role of these secondary metabolites in preventing the harmful effects of water deficit stress, which, in turn, might be useful in maize breeding selection for drought tolerance

the highest stability and adaptability, while hybrids KWS2, KWS6, KWS8, KWS9 and KWS10
showed a satisfactory level of stability and it is necessary to pay attention to which locations they
have positive interactions in order to be recommended in such regions Nevertheless, based on
the AMMI2, locations Temerin, Kikinda and Zrenjanin, showed similar interaction response,
which points out that the number of trial locations could be reduced Obtained results would

AB  - Seed deterioration is expressed as the loss of viability, vigour and quality during ageing The
major causes of seed deterioration refer to free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation, enzyme
inactivation or protein degradation, disruption of cellular membranes and damage to genetic
integrity Accelerated ageing (AA) is a simple method for studying the mechanisms of deterio-
ration over short periods In order to estimate the deterioration rate, seeds of four maize geno-
types were exposed to accelerated ageing for different time points (three and six days of AA) In
parallel, the same genotypes were evaluated regarding the content of total phenolics, phenolic
acids, flavonoids and anthocyanins, as well as regarding total antioxidant capacity Compared
to non-stressed seeds, ageing was evidenced by decreased germination energy (48 9%), a total
number of seedlings (40 8%) and seedlings growth (70 0% for root length, 44 0% and 10 5% for
root and shoot fresh weight, 5 0% for seed rest fresh weight, 12 0% and 11 5% for root and shoot
dry weight, 15 3% for seed rest dry weight, respectively), as well as by an increased number of
abnormal seedlings (22 0%) Correlation analysis revealed that higher content of total phenolics,
flavonoids and anthocyanins contributed to a higher radical scavenging activity, which was re-
flected through a lower level of deterioration rate, both regarding the energy of germination and
overall seedling performance.

abstract = "Seed deterioration is expressed as the loss of viability, vigour and quality during ageing The
major causes of seed deterioration refer to free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation, enzyme
inactivation or protein degradation, disruption of cellular membranes and damage to genetic
integrity Accelerated ageing (AA) is a simple method for studying the mechanisms of deterio-
ration over short periods In order to estimate the deterioration rate, seeds of four maize geno-
types were exposed to accelerated ageing for different time points (three and six days of AA) In
parallel, the same genotypes were evaluated regarding the content of total phenolics, phenolic
acids, flavonoids and anthocyanins, as well as regarding total antioxidant capacity Compared
to non-stressed seeds, ageing was evidenced by decreased germination energy (48 9%), a total
number of seedlings (40 8%) and seedlings growth (70 0% for root length, 44 0% and 10 5% for
root and shoot fresh weight, 5 0% for seed rest fresh weight, 12 0% and 11 5% for root and shoot
dry weight, 15 3% for seed rest dry weight, respectively), as well as by an increased number of
abnormal seedlings (22 0%) Correlation analysis revealed that higher content of total phenolics,
flavonoids and anthocyanins contributed to a higher radical scavenging activity, which was re-
flected through a lower level of deterioration rate, both regarding the energy of germination and
overall seedling performance., Propadanje semena se ogleda u gubitku životne sposobnosti, energije i kvaliteta Dejstvo slo-
bodnih radikala dovodi do peroksidacije lipida, inaktivacije enzima, degradacije proteina, raza-

AB  - Due to the loss of agro-biodiversity, there is a strong effort to find apparent and efficient
mechanisms for the conservation and sustainable use of genetic diversity. A joint monitoring of the
diversity and collections structure of the Montenegrin maize landraces conserved in the Serbian
(MRIZPGB) and Montenegrin (MGB) gene banks has been conducted in order to improve the
composition of the collections and to identify and eliminate possible redundancy. Based on a separate
analysis of white- and yellow-orange maize landraces, it can be concluded that the diversity and
evolution of distinct maize landraces grown and collected in Montenegro have been simultaneously
shaped by both environmental (i.e., natural selection) and socially driven factors (farmers’ selection,
migration and colonization processes of the human population). Although it has been determined
that the authenticity and variability of the Montenegrin maize landraces gene pool have largely
been preserved in the MRIZPGB collection, a significant amount of redundancy was observed. The
obtained results will contribute to the cost-efficient conservation of the maize gene pool in the
Montenegrin and Serbian gene banks. The recognized and well-preserved original variability of the
MRIZPGB and MGB Montenegrin gene pool represents a valuable source for pre-breeding activities
on broadening the white and flint maize breeding programmes under temperate conditions.

AB  - Soybean is one of the most economically important grain crops. As the
source of plant protein and vegetable oil, it is widely used as food and
industrial crop. Quality of soybean oil is determined by fatty acid (FA)
composition. Biochemical variation of different varieties significantly
facilitates genetic screening of kernel traits and grain quality attributes, thus
leading to one of the most important breeding strategies - improvement of
the grain composition. The main objective of this work was to evaluate
whole kernel biochemical composition of eight soybean varieties and eight
lines from different breeding programs. Phytochemical characterization was
conducted for total protein and oil content, as well as for fatty acids content
(e.g. palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acid). According to
Kjedahl method, total protein content ranged from 37.01% to 39.91%. The
obtained results showed that the lowest and the highest values for oil content
were 19.00% and 21.34%, respectively. Gas Chromatography/Flame
Ionization Detector (GC-FID) was used for FA quantification and
determination. The most abundant FA was linoleic acid with a range from
47.45 to 55.7 g/100g, followed by oleic acid with detected rage from 22.59
to 29.07 g/100g of total FA content. Palmitic, linolenic and stearic FA
showed a significantly lower level varied from 9.57 to 11.51 g/100g, 5.42 to
7.18 g/100g and 3.73 to 5.86 g/100g, respectively. This variability observed
in kernel quality among soybean genotypes can provide valuable information
for future breeding.
