Yield Improvement in Temperate Maize is Attributable to Greater Stress Tolerance
Matthijs Tollenaar,J. Wu +1 more
TL;DR: Results of the studies indicate that increased stress tolerance is associated with lower plant-to- plant variability and that increased plant- to-plant variability results in lower stress tolerance.

Cereal landraces for sustainable agriculture. A review
Adrian C. Newton,Taner Akar,J. P. Baresel,Penelope J. Bebeli,E. Bettencourt,K. V. Bladenopoulos,Jerzy H. Czembor,D. A. Fasoula,A. Katsiotis,K. Koutis,M. Koutsika-Sotiriou,G. Kovacs,H. Larsson,M. A. A. Pinheiro de Carvalho,Diego Rubiales,Joanne Russell,T. M. M. Dos Santos,M. C. Vaz Patto +17 more
TL;DR: This review of the current status and prospects for landraces of cereals in the context of sustainable agriculture considers their potential as sources of novel disease and abiotic stress resistance genes or combination of genes if deployed appropriately, of phytonutrients accompanied with optimal micronutrient concentrations which can help alleviate aging-related and chronic diseases, and of nutrient use efficiency traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maize Nutrient Accumulation and Partitioning in Response to Plant Density and Nitrogen Rate: I. Macronutrients
TL;DR: Research to determine the season-long P, K, and S uptake and partitioning dynamics in maize as affected by low, medium, and high plant density and N rate factors and their interactions was conducted over four site-years in Indiana.
Journal ArticleDOI
Principles underlying genetic improvement for high and stable crop yield potential
TL;DR: The genetic basis of high and stable crop yield is explored, and the conditions that provide the link between genotypic and phenotypic superiority and, consequently, improve selection efficiency in plant breeding are delineated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maize hybrids less dependent on high plant densities improve resource-use efficiency in rainfed and irrigated conditions
Ioannis S. Tokatlidis,Voichita Has,V. Melidis,Ioan Has,Ioannis Mylonas,G. Evgenidis,A. Copandean,Elissavet Ninou,Vasilia A. Fasoula +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used two sets of maize hybrids, seven Romanian and seven Greek hybrids, and examined two main objectives: yield potential per plant which extends the lower limit of the optimum density range and second, for stability of performance that extends the higher limit of an optimal density range.

Journal ArticleDOI
The breeding of crop ideotypes
TL;DR: It is postulated that a successful crop ideotype will be a weak competitor, relative to its mass, and the like plants in the crop community will compete with each other to a minimum degree.
Book ChapterDOI
The Biological Yield and Harvest Index of Cereals as Agronomic and Plant Breeding Criteria
C.M. Donald,John Hamblin +1 more
TL;DR: The chapter examines the interaction of biological yield, grain yield, and harvest index with plant density and the situation in which a number of varieties have precisely the same biological yield but different grain yields is graphically presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of Genotype-Environmental Interactions in Applied Plant Breeding1
R. W. Allard,A. D. Bradshaw +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that improvements in efficiency are unlikely so long as only "final" characters such as yield and quality are considered and that real progress will be possible only as the authors clarify the pathways by which final characters are reached.

Genotypic and Phenotypic Correlations in Corn and Their Implications in Selection
TL;DR: Estimates of genotypic and phenotypic correlations among characters are useful in planning and evaluating breeding programs and provide the basis for planning more efficient programs for the future.
