Prediction of single-cross performance has been a major goal of plant breeders since the beginning of hybrid breeding. Recently, genomic prediction has shown to be a promising approach, but only limited studies have examined the accuracy of predicting single-cross performance. Moreover, no studies have examined the potential of predicting single crosses among random inbreds derived from a serie...

to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilizer amounts on grain yield of forage corn in 2012, a pilot was implemented in islamic azad university agricultural research station, isfahan, as a split plot in a randomized complete block design. main plots consisted of four levels: control (no fertilization ) , 50 , 100 and 150 kg per ha nitrogen from urea source and subplots , including several varie...

Low soil temperature is one of the reasons for poor germination and establishment of maize. The aim of this study was to evaluatethe possibilityof improvingthe seedling emergence and performance of maize under low temperature stress. A pot experiment was conducted on Zea maize (single cross 704) at 14 ºC as cold stress and seed treatments were priming with  200,  300 and 400ppm of GA3; 100, 200...

rather than to cause the absence of the wild-type enzyme. It is of interest that in both of these cases hybrid enzymes are formed in heterozygotes. Dimerization which has been proposed as the basis for hybrid vigor' may be a common feature of maize enzymes. Summary.-Two alleles of the E3 gene in maize specify electrophoretically separable esterases. As is the case with the pH 7.5 esterases form...

in order to investigate the effect of zinc element application on growth and some morphophysiological of maize (single cross 704) an experiment was conducted during 2010 at greenhouse. experimented design was complete randomize factorial with four replications. treatments of experiment were soil salinity (4, 8 ds.m-1 and 0 as a control) and different zinc concentration including 0, 10 and 20 mg...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of applying deficit irrigation on aboveground biomass, leaf area and root biomass for maize hybrid 704 single-cross. experimental treatments included 4 different irrigation levels, 5 growth stages with three replicates in a completely randomized factorial statistical design. aboveground biomass, leaf area and root biomass in 4 longitudinal sec...

Assessment of genetic distance between parents and selection diverse are extensively used in many crops. Current study focuses the importance assessed through SSR markers (GDMOL) morphological traits (GDMOR) 28 fodder maize inbred lines its impact on heterotic expression resultant 195 single cross hybrids. While comparing mean green yield top performing hybrids synthesised with higher GDMOL GDM...

Starch branching enzyme was purified from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers as a single species of 79 kilodaltons and specific antibodies were prepared against both the native enzyme and against the gel-purified, denatured enzyme. The activity of potato branching enzyme could only be neutralized by antinative potato branching enzyme, whereas both types of antibodies reacted with denatured po...
