Identification of microsatellites markers associated with yield components and quality parameters in sugarcane
(2011-02-01)
Marker assisted selection depends on the identification of tightly linked association between marker and the trait of interest. In the present work, functional (EST-SSRs) and genomic (gSSRs) microsatellite markers were ...
Genetic improvement of peanut in Argentina between 1948 and 2004: Seed yield and its components
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2013-06)
In Argentina, peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) breeding has been based on seed yield per se plus defensive and seed quality traits. An important milestone was the shift from cultivars with erect growth habit (CEGH) to cultivars ...
Increasing population density reduces soybean yield components and productivity
(2021-01-01)
Studies addressing the interaction of different spatial arrangement in soybean are needed in order to achieve management that leads to higher grain yield associated with rational seed use. The objective of this work was ...
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) yield as affected by nitrogen fertilization and different water regimes
(2017-01-01)
Due to its origin and hardiness, safflower is usually cultivated in low-fertility soils with few inputs and no irrigation. In Brazil, little is known about its response to nitrogen (N) and irrigation. This study was carried ...
Soybean yield in relation to distance from the Itaipu reservoir
(International Journal Of Biometeorology, 2015-11-03)
Crops close to small water bodies may exhibit changes in yield if the water mass causes significant changes in the microclimate of areas near the reservoir shoreline. The scientific literature describes this effect as ...
Use of genomic and phenotypic selection in lines for prediction of testcrosses in maize I: grain yield and its components
(2017-09-01)
Grain yield (GY) is a direct function of its components and these traits to being less complex and highly correlated with yield. The objectives of this study were to map Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) for GY and its components ...
