Factors Influencing Farmers’ Buying Patterns of Hybrid Maize Seeds: The Case of Shan State, Myanmar
Today, maize is the largest global cereal crop in terms of production. Maize is also one of the most versatile food crops, produced for human consumption, animal feed, and industrial use such as the production of biofuel. This versatility and large production scale makes maize one of the world’s …

Reducing Corn Yield Variability and Enhancing Yield Increases Through the Use of Corn-Specific Growth Models
… (Zea Mays L.) crop growth simulation models, Hybrid-Maize, and CERES-Maize were calibrated and validated under Virginia conditions with the goal of better understanding corn response to variable environmental conditions and decreasing temporal yield variation. Calibration data were generated …

Economic and Ecosystem Impacts of GM Maize in South Africa
<p>White maize in South Africa is the only staple crop produced on a widespread commercial basis for direct human consumption using genetically modified (GM) cultivars. Using a combined economic and environmental approach, we estimate the total welfare benefits attributable to GM white maize in …

Agronomic and phenotypic responses to 75 years of recurrent selection for yield in the Iowa Stiff Stalk synthetic maize population
<p>The plant density at which Zea mays L. hybrids achieve maximum grain yield has increased throughout the hybrid era while grain yield on a per plant basis has increased little. Changes in plant traits including grain yield, moisture, test weight, stalk and root lodging, flag leaf angle, …

Fine mapping and characterization of genes involved in maize nitrogen utilization efficiency
Maize is one of the most productive crop species on earth. A core component of this productivity comes from maize’s responsiveness to nitrogen fertilizers. Despite their importance in crop production, these fertilizers can place an economic burden on growers and can also have negative environmental …

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 …
