Seed quality assurance in maize breeding programs: tests to explain variations in maize inbreds and populations
Maize (Zea mays L.) breeders are interested in evaluating the seed quality of their inbred lines, as seed quality has a strong relationship to field emergence. There is little information, however, on the influence of the seed quality of the inbred on field emergence of the hybrid. The objectives of this research were to (i) determine whether seed quality tests and a seed quality index of the ...

Genetic improvement of seedling emergence of low-phytate soybean lines
Reduced seedling emergence of low-phytate (LP) soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] lines with the pha1 and pha2 alleles has been a limiting factor in the development of LP cultivars. Crosses between normal-phytate (NP) and LP soybean lines have produced progeny with improved emergence. The objective of this study was to determine if LP lines with improved emergence are capable of producing progeny ...

Hulless barley seeding rate effects on grain yield and yield components
Recent efforts to expand markets for winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in the mid-Atlantic have focused on hulless types due to higher energy density. The exposed endosperm of hulless barley makes damage more likely than with hulled barley, and emergence is typically lower. Information to determine the optimum seeding rate for winter hulless barley is presently unavailable. Experiments were ...

Imbibitional chilling sensitivity and soluble carbohydrate composition of low Raffinose, low Stachyose soybean seed
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] seed with low raffinose, stachyose, and phytin is desired for feeding nonruminant animals to improve feed efficiency, increase mineral uptake, and reduce flatulence, but may have reduced agronomic quality. Composition of soluble carbohydrates in seed parts and sensitivity of mature seed to imbibitional chilling were determined for low raffinose and stachyose ...

A southern root-knot nematode resistance QTL linked to the T-Locus in soybean
Southern root-knot nematode [RKI; Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood] is an important soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] pest. When RKI resistance was introgressed from the highly resistant, gray pubescent breeding line G93-9009 into moderately resistant, tawny pubescent cultivars BoggsRR and BenningRR, higher than expected proportions of two advanced backcross populations had gray ...

Correlation between temperature and oleic acid seed content in three segregating soybean populations
The development of high-oleate soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] germplasm, currently in demand due to its nutritional value and oxidative stability, may be hampered by the instability of fatty acid composition across environments, which is largely attributed to temperature changes and its effects on fatty acid biosynthesis during the period of oil deposition. In the present study, we evaluated ...

Genetics of leaf rust resistance in the soft red winter wheat ‘Caldwell’
The soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) ‘Caldwell’ has effective resistance to leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina. To determine the genetic basis of this resistance, Caldwell was crossed with the leaf rust–susceptible spring wheat ‘Thatcher’, and the F1 plants were backcrossed to Thatcher to obtain backcross (BC) F2 (BC1F2) families. In the seedlings, the BC1F2 families segregated ...

Ancestral landraces of common bean from the South of Europe and their agronomical value for breeding programs
Selection among breeding lines has been widely used to identify important cultivars and favorable alleles for adaptation, and resistance to abiotic and biotic stress. The objective of this work was to study the variability among common bean breeding lines selected from ancestral landraces, to evaluate the reaction of these lines to anthracnose (ANT) rust, common bacterial blight (CBB), halo ...

Pollinator effects on genotypically distinct soybean cytoplasmic male sterile lines
Poor seed-set limits potential for soybean hybrid seed production. The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of different pollinators on the rate of seed set in three soybean cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines, JLCMS9A, JLCMS82A, and JLCMS89A. The following five treatments were applied under net room isolation-conditions: (i) insecticide application and release of alfalfa leafcutter ...

How long does it take for organic fertilizer fermentation equipment to process compost
According to different raw materials, organic composting fermentation equipment can be divided into high temperature composting and ordinary composting. High temperature composting takes plant materials with high fiber content as the main raw materials, and generates a lot of heat through composting and fermentation under aerated conditions. The temperature of composting is very high (50-60 ...

Quantitative trait locus analysis of seed Phosphorus and seed Phytate content in a recombinant inbred line population of common bean
Phytate is an important antinutritional component of legume seeds, which chelates minerals that are essential to the human diet such as iron and zinc. Phytate levels are often correlated with total seed phosphorus (P). The objective of this research was to evaluate quantitative trait loci (QTL) for seed P and phytate content in an inter-gene pool (G2333 x G19839) recombinant inbred line ...
