Assessing Payne score accuracy through a bread wheat multi-genotype and multi-environment set from CIMMYT
(Elsevier, 2024-01-01)The Payne score is a prevalent strategy for assessing wheat quality by considering the distinct contributions of specific high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits. Despite its extensive use, the limited germplasm used in ... -
Breeding effects on canopy light attenuation in maize: a retrospective and prospective analysis
(Oxford University Press, 2022-03)The light attenuation process within a plant canopy defines energy capture and vertical distribution of light and nitrogen (N). The vertical light distribution can be quantitatively described with the extinction coefficient ... -
Effects of photoperiod sensitivity genes Ppd‐B1 and Ppd‐D1 on spike fertility and related traits in bread wheat
(Wiley Online Library, 2018-04-27)Increasing grain yield is a key breeding goal in bread wheat. Several authors have suggested that a spike fertility index (SF), that is the quotient between grain number per unit spike (GNS) and spikechaff dry weight (SCDW), ... -
Evaluation framework of community-based livestock breeding programs
(2018-03)The objective of this paper is to present an evaluation framework to provide guidance for an assessment of the performance, outputs and associated impacts of community-based livestock breeding programs (CBBPs), responding ... -
Genomic selection for lucerne biomass yield in di erent stressprone environments
(Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2019-06-24)Climate change and reduced irrigation water emphasize the need for lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) varieties with improved yield under drought and saline conditions. Marker-based selection may o!er opportunities, owing to low ... -
Influence of Fusarium spp. isolate and inoculum density on resistance screening tests in onion
(Brazilian Phytopathological Society, 2014)Fusarium basal rot (FBR), which is caused predominantly by Fusarium oxysporum and F. proliferatum, is the main limiting factor of onion crops. Resistant cultivars obtained in other countries do not behave as such in ... -
Nitrogen‐, water‐ and radiation‐use efficiencies affected by sugarcane breeding in Argentina
(2017-04)This study aimed to identify whether and how sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) breeding in Argentina modified nitrogen‐use efficiency (NUE), water‐use efficiency (WUE) and radiation‐use efficiency (RUE). Thirteen varieties were ... -
On-farm soybean genetic progress and yield stability during the early 21st century: A case study of a commercial breeding program in Argentina and Brazil
(Elsevier, 2024-03)CONTEXT: Most studies assessing the genetic progress in soybean have traditionally focused on retrospectives approaches, where commercial genotypes released over an extended period are tested in a limited number of ...
