Increased use of whole-plant maize for anaerobic digestion (AD) in Europe raises the question: Are maize cultivars developed for use in animal nutrition equally appropriate as feedstock for AD or should different phenotypes be selected? The main objective in growing whole-plant maize as feedstock for AD is maximum output of methane per hectare. There is less need for rapidly digested plant comp...

Over the years, breeders around world have made significant changes to architecture of plants vegetable pea varieties. The were aimed at increasing, first all, yield. New varieties should an optimal combination plant height, number productive nodes and increased resistance lodging. Having achieved certain results, find ways improve culture, further improving its economically valuable features. ...

This research aims to investigate the preferential traits of farmers in selection rice variety using Conjoint Analysis. The present study was conducted two purposively selected districts i.e, East and West Godavari Andhra Pradesh during Kharif 2022-23. From each district three mandals, from mandal villages village 15 respondents were selected. Thus, a total 270 who actively involved paddy farmi...

rots in maize. High yielding cultivars, increased plant densities, and improvements in soil fertility are generally Stalk lodging in maize (Zea mays L.) causes yield losses estimated accepted to have also contributed to increased stalk to range from 5 to 20% annually worldwide. Selection for rind penetrometer resistance (RPR) has proven useful in enhancing germplasm lodging. for stalk strength,...

The article presents the results of study soft spring wheat varieties Canadian breeding in order to identify genetic sources high baking value. A comprehensive assessment following economic and useful traits was carried out: yield, plant height, resistance lodging major fungal diseases, weight 1000 grains, grain unit, vitreous content, protein gluten content grain. method complex indices used f...

Over the next decade, wheat grain production must increase to meet the demand of a fast growing human population. One strategy to meet this challenge is to raise wheat productivity by optimizing plant stature. The Reduced height 8 (Rht8) semi-dwarfing gene is one of the few, together with the Green Revolution genes, to reduce stature of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and improve lodging resistan...

Tef (Eragrostis tef) is a major cereal crop in Ethiopia. Lodging is the primary constraint to increasing productivity in this allotetraploid species, accounting for losses of ∼15-45% in yield each year. As a first step toward identifying semi-dwarf varieties that might have improved lodging resistance, an ∼6× fosmid library was constructed and used to identify both homeologues of the dw3 semi-d...

nant dwarfing gene, Dw8, was identified and demonstrated to be distinct genetically from Dw6 and Dw7 The use of oat (Avena sativa L.) dwarfing genes in breeding pro(Milach et al., 1998). This gene has not been used yet grams to improve lodging resistance has been limited, mainly because of decreases in yield and grain quality in many environments. The for cultivar development. objectives of thi...

To meet the increasing raw material demand of livestock and food sectors in our country is a need for new high-quality barley varieties that have short vegetation period, resistance to lodging, homogeneous plump grain, high grain biomass yield, compatible with climate Central Anatolia Region. this need, it was aimed determine appropriate lines by comparing 18 advanced belonging Transitional Zon...
