Variability among maize inbred lines for seed longevity

Increasing Kernel Density for Two Inbred Lines of Maize

Improving grain quality of maize (Zea mays L.), including endospermhardness and density, is often a breeding objective.Dense seed is preferred by dry millers and for alkaline processing, and can command a price premium at market. This study attempted to increase kernel density in a backcrossing program for two inbreds of maize using two selection techniques, specific gravity of kernels and the ...

Canola Seed Vigour Ethanol Test

Seed germination, seedling emergence and crop establishment are important aspects of canola production, and are the main components of seed/seedling vigour. A major concern of seed businesses and canola growers alike is loss of seed vigour that may go undetected before planting. Two vigour assays, based on off-gassing of ethyl alcohol from poor vigour seed, are being developed. They are a simpl...

Two traditional maize inbred lines of contrasting technological abilities are discriminated by the seed flour proteome.

The seed proteome of two traditional maize inbred lines (pb269 and pb369) contrasting in grain hardness and in preferable use for bread-making was evaluated. The pb269 seeds, of flint type (i.e., hard endosperm), are preferably used by manufacturers, while pb369 (dent, soft endosperm) is rejected. The hypothesis that the content and relative amounts of specific proteins in the maize flour are r...
