Inheritance and Components of Resistance to Bipolaris Maydis Race O (Maize, Corn, Breeding)
Three different studies using the Bipolaris maydis race O - maize pathosystem were done at the University of Illinois in 1981, 1982 and 1983. The first study was a quantitative genetics study of the inheritance of resistance in 12 families derived from inbreds determined to be highly resistant to …

Marker assisted selection and breeding for desirable thinner pericarp thickness and ear traits in fresh market waxy corn germplasm
… are important selection criteria in fresh waxy corn breeding programs as they are associated with consumer sensory and visual preferences. An F2:3 mapping population from the cross between South Korean inbreds BH20 and BH30 was developed in order to estimate genetic relationships among pericarp …

Phytochemical diversity and genetics of purple corn
… purple plant pigments. Anthocyanin-rich purple corn is being explored as a potential economical source of natural colorant. Our recent survey of colored corn maize germplasm identified a purple corn landrace, Apache Red (AR), with great pigment variability and intensity. Further breeding and …

Survey of plant density tolerance in U.S. maize germplasm
… therefore requiring no alteration with breeding strategies used for new and improved maize lines. Results of this work will be used to create plant materials for further characterization of the trait through QTL mapping and candidate gene approaches.

Genetics underlying flaking grit yield from dry milled maize grain
A survey of U.S. corn germplasm was conducted to explore genetics underlying flaking grit yield (FGY) and evaluate the relationship between FGY and agronomic performance, with an aim to devise breeding strategies to simultaneously improve FGY and agronomic performance in the future. The survey used …

Evaluation of additive and nonadditive genetic variation in elite maize germplasm for root, shoot, and ear characteristics
For the hybrid seed corn industry, corn breeding and research in the public sector ideally would serve the role of identifying novel genes, alleles, and breeding procedures that have promising commercial applications. However, despite increasing research on public germplasm improvement, the role is …

Heterosis in compositional, physical, and wet-milling characteristics of hybrids from exotic introgressed by adapted inbred lines in corn
<p>Corn (Zea Mays L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in the world and the main crop in the United States. Starch is the most abundant component of the corn kernels and the most valuable fraction recovered by wet milling of corn. The amount wet milled from a sample is an indication of the …

Dry milling characteristics and polyphenolic contents of adapted colored corn varieties and polyphenol extraction by combining deep eutectic solvents and ultrasound
Although conventional yellow dent corn (Zea mays L.) has been extensively grown and utilized in the US for food, feed, and numerous industrial applications, the degree of associated value-addition is rather modest. Colored corn varieties have recently drawn increased attention due to their …

Desequilíbrio de ligação e mapeamento associativo em populações de milho-pipoca relacionadas por ciclos de seleção
Desequilíbrio de ligação (LD) é definido como a associação não aleatória entre alelos de diferentes locos em uma população e mapeamento associativo (MA) refere-se à associação estatística significativa entre o marcador molecular e a característica fenotípica. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: (1) …
