Heat-resistant protein expression during germination of maize seeds under water stress
, “Heat-resistant protein expression during germination of maize seeds under water stress”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
Low water availability is one of the factors that limit agricultural crop development, and hence the development of genotypes with increased water stress tolerance is a challenge in plant breeding programs. Heat-resistant proteins have been widely studied, and are reported to participate in various developmental processes and to accumulate in response to stress. This study aimed to evaluate heat-resistant protein expression under water stress conditions during the germination of maize seed inbreed lines differing in their water stress tolerance.
Inbreeding depression in single, three way and double-cross hybrids of maize
, “Inbreeding depression in single, three way and double-cross hybrids of maize”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
Currently, one of the acclaimed alternatives for increasing maize yield is accomplished through utilization of heterosis in hybrid cultivars. However, upon performing crosses between related pairs, there are losses due to inbreeding depression. Thus, the aim of this study was to estimate inbreeding depression and the contribution of loci in heterozygosity in different types of maize hybrids. Eight treatments were evaluated, considering the F1 and S0 generations of four commercial hybrids.
Selection index based on the relative importance of traits and possibilities in breeding popcorn
, “Selection index based on the relative importance of traits and possibilities in breeding popcorn”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
One of the major difficulties faced by popcorn breeders is the negative correlation between popping expansion (PE) and grain yield (GY). It is necessary to overcome this difficulty to obtain promising genotypes. One helpful tool in this process is a selection index because it allows multiple features of interest to be selected. Thus, the present study proposes a new and comprehensive selection index applied in 169 half-sib families in UEM-Co1 and UEM-Co2 composites during two cycles of recurrent selection.
Analysis of gene expression patterns and levels in maize hybrids and their parents
, “Analysis of gene expression patterns and levels in maize hybrids and their parents”, vol. 14, pp. 15399-15411, 2015.
Heterosis has greatly contributed to conventional plant breeding and is widely used to increase crop plant productivity. However, although some studies have explored the mechanisms of heterosis at the genomic and transcriptome level, these mechanisms still remain unclear. The growth and development of maize seedlings and immature embryos have an important impact on subsequent production.
