Practically speaking, maize is monoecious (separate male and female flowers on the same plant); this makes controlled hybridization for breeding fairly simple, and also allows for the production of hybrid maize seed. Objectives of maize breeding include yield, resistance to biotic (e.g., disease...
Objectives Of course, the yield is what matters. There are, however, many possibilities and “parameters” to achieve this annual increase of 2%, which differ vastly by crop. Continue reading Breeding methods The best plant breeding practices still include crossing and selection. However, the...
objectives that can be complementary; but its foundations, methods and biological implications are different: the CGI works within the limits of sexual compatibility, using the species genetic diversity as a favorable source of DNA, which gives the precision and recombination mechanisms of sexual ...
The objectives of this study were to (i) assess maize weevil resistance of experimental maize hybrids involving susceptible and resistant maize inbred lines under ambient temperature and humidity conditions on the research station, (ii) discuss the nature of gene action conditioning the resistance and...
To efficiently meet multiple breeding objectives requires both interdisciplinary collaboration and a grasp of a wide range of scientific knowledge and expertise. This chapter addresses a range of topics that define and govern potato breeding, drawing from the experiences of both international and regional...

Understanding end-users’ preferred breeding traits and plant management practices is fundamental in defining sound breeding objectives and implementing a successful plant improvement programme. Since such knowledge is lacking for Synsepalum dulcificum,
The project of maize breeding for tolerance to low N was established at NSW FCRC in 1995 with the objectives of developing inbred lines, hybrids and populations tolerant to low N. A block of land of approximately 0.7 ha was used as a testing block for low N tolerance. Before using the ...
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the important oilseed crops cultivated worldwide for its oil and confectionary purposes. Among the crops where heterosis has been successfully exploited, sunflower assumes importance as that of maize. Identifica
