Trade-offs between yield and grain quality for dry milling are common in maize (Zea mays L.), but the magnitude of these correlations can differ depending on the specific quality trait. We aimed to quantify the relations...

Extraction of inbred lines is a very important step in maize breeding since these lines will be used to obtain hybrids intended for the market. However, this expensive process, hinders genotype evaluation in contrasting ...

Abstract Maize production (Zea mays L.) suffers severe losses due to infestations of Striga hermonthica (Sh) and S. asiatica (Sa). These challenges highlight the need for high-yielding Striga-resistant hybrids. Developin...

Abstract Female ear development during the pre- and post-silking period is critical for maize yield. Although plant growth regulators can enhance yield, their specific effects on ear morphogenesis and underlying mechanis...

Abstract Soil acidity is a critical constraint limiting crop productivity and nutrient availability in upland cropping systems. Acidic soils impede plant growth by reducing nutrient solubility and disrupting key soil pro...

One way to increase maize productivity in dry land is to develop superior maize varieties with high production, early maturity, and resistance to drought stress. The study aims to evaluate the characteristics of 10 hybri...

Abstract Many African countries are experiencing hunger and poverty due to the Striga spp. problem. This study was conducted to evaluate the agronomic performance of sixteen (17) resistant genotypes and one (1) susceptib...

ABSTRACT Maize plants can establish beneficial associations with plant growth-promoting bacteria. However, few studies have been conducted on the characterization and inoculation of these bacteria in the Amazon region. T...

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to evaluate the production practices and use of corn silage in dairy farms in Southern Brazil, and to evaluate their impact on the nutritional quality and occurrence of mycotoxins....

ABSTRACT Most plant genomes and their (post‐)transcriptional regulation remain unknown. We used SPLASH—a new, reference genome‐free sequence variation detection algorithm—to analyze transcriptional and post‐tra...

Field trials were conducted in six locations in central-northern Córdoba, Argentina, using four maize hybrids with varying resistance to northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), caused by Exserohilum turcicum. Naturally occurr...
