1. Inbreeding depression and genetic variability of populations for green maize production
ABSTRACT The production of green maize is considerable important for various regions of Brazil. It is vital that breeding programs of public institutions seek to meet the needs of this market sector, which has a relevant social role, mainly on small properties. The aim of this study was to estimate the inbreeding depression and the genetic components (m + a

2. Resistance of maize landraces from Brazil to fall armyworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in the winter and summer seasons
ABSTRACT The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a major maize (Zea mays L.) pest in Brazil, whose larvae cause losses from plant emergence to harvesting stage. This pest has been controlled almost exclusively with chemical insecticides and Bt plants (transgenics); however, resistance evolution has been detected to these two control tactics. Therefore,

3. Partially inbred maize lines in topcrosses and hybrid performance
ABSTRACT In plant breeding programs, the selection of potential progenies in early generations of inbreeding is an essential step. Considering that, the adoption of topcrosses helps the breeder in the selection, this study aimed to verify the potential of S2 strains for synthesis of synthetic varieties and to obtain experimental information on yield and agro

4. Genetic variability and breeding potential of Flintisa Composite of maize in two levels of technology
Abstract The purpose this study was to verify the breeding potential of Flintisa Composite for low (LT) and high (HT) technology of cultivation, and the best selection strategy to be adopted. For this reason half-sib progenies were evaluated in the two technological levels. In HT, it was used basic fertilization, two top dressing and supplementary irrigation

5. Genetic progress, adaptability and stability of maize cultivars for value of cultivation and use trials
ABSTRACT. Maize breeding programs conduct multi-environment trials every year to assess the performance of new cultivars in pre-releasing tests. The data are combined across sites and seasons to perform a joint analysis in order to obtain information that will help breeders to select the best cultivars for different environments. Beyond this, it is essential

6. Genetic diversity, population structure and AFLP markers associated with maize reaction to southern rust
ABSTRACT Maize is one of the species with greater genetic diversity among cereals and possibly the most diverse crop species known. Accessing this variability is essential for maize breeding, allowing breeders to achieve progress of yield increasing, overcome environmental challenges or deal with pests and diseases. Among the maize diseases, southern rust is

7. Agronomic performance and genetic dissimilarity of second-harvest soybean cultivars using REML/BLUP and Gower’s algorithm
ABSTRACT The cultivation of second-harvest with soybean crop after first-harvest with maize crop has become an alternative to aggregate income to farmers in the South region of Brazil. However, there is little information about this cropping system in this region. The aims of this study were to: (i) evaluate the agronomic performance of soybean (Glycine max

8. Analysis of Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination in testcrosses of a maize biparental population
Abstract Fusarium ear rot (FER) negatively affects maize production worldwide and poses a serious threat to human health for producing mycotoxins. The objectives of our study were to assess the factors affecting FER and fumonisin contamination in testcrosses of a maize population. In the trials, seeds of 191 testcrosses of IBMSyn4, 11 checks and 2 replicatio

9. Adaptability and stability of maize hybrids in unreplicated multienvironment trials
RESUMO Nos programas de melhoramento de milho das empresas privadas é comum realizar os chamados ensaios avançados de produto (PAT) em vários ambientes de cultivo no intuito de melhor posicionar os novos híbridos, bem como oportunizar a avaliação por parte dos produtores. Neste trabalho objetivou-se descrever a adaptabilidade e estabilidade de híbrido

10. Reaction of popcorn lines (s7) cultivated in distinct phosphorus levels to Bipolaris maydis infection
RESUMO O milho-pipoca apresenta alta suscetibilidade a helmintosporiose (Bipolaris maydis) (h-Bm). O melhoramento genético desta cultura deve priorizar a resistência a h-Bm e desenvolver cultivares que ofereçam maior sustentabilidade ao cultivo, principalmente em solos com escassez de fósforo (P). O P-mineral normalmente é suprido à cultura do milho pe

11. Construction and characterization of a bacterial artificial chromosome library of the maize inbred line Qi319
Abstract Zea mays L. has been the most cultivated crop and the crop with the largest yield in China since 2012. We constructed a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library for the maize inbred line Qi319, which may be used as a key source for disease-resistant maize breeding in China. The BAC contains 270,720 clones, with an average insert size of 90 kb.

12. High grain quality accessions within a maize drought tolerant core collection
Maize (Zea mays L.) landraces are an important source of genes for improving commercial germplasm. Today, drought tolerance and grain quality are major challenges in maize cultivation due to climatic changes and population growth. The Maize Research Institute genebank has a drought tolerant collection, which includes 13 landraces (from the former Yugoslavia)
