Download or read book Improving the Accuracy of Kernel Set Simulation in Hybrid Seed Production written by Esteban Sebastián Schneider and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maize (Zea mays L.) is a monoecious plant, having separate staminate and pistillate flowers. Staminate flowers are located at the end of the stem while pistillate flowers arise from nodes located around the mid part of the plant. Because of this anatomical arrangement, cross pollination is the normal for maize to reproduce. Typically male and female parents are crossed to produce hybrid seed. It has been reported that maize pollination is a predictable process that can be quantified and used for modeling kernel set under limited pollen conditions. Simulation models that use flowering characteristics to predict kernel set are an important tool for improving inbred management in seed corn production fields. However, the time needed to generate is an impediment to adoption. It has also been reported that these models overestimate actual kernel number. Typical growing conditions in hybrid seed production define an environment where source and sink limitations occur concurrently, the combination of genotype and growing condition will determine which limitation predominates. The accuracy of kernel set simulations could be improved using a plant growth model that incorporates both sink and source limitations for kernel set. Chapter 2 provides a novel technique for estimating the dynamics of silk exsertion in maize. Chapter 3 extends the use of this technique to determine the minimum number of measurements needed to quantify silking dynamics reliably. Chapter 4 presents possible causes behind differential kernel set across the female block in seed corn production fields. Chapter 5 validates an experimental model that integrates both source and sink limitations to predict kernel set.
Download or read book Handbook of Maize written by Jeff L. Bennetzen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maize is one of the world’s highest value crops, with a multibillion dollar annual contribution to agriculture. The great adaptability and high yields available for maize as a food, feed and forage crop have led to its current production on over 140 million hectares worldwide, with acreage continuing to grow at the expense of other crops. In terms of tons of cereal grain produced worldwide, maize has been number one for many years. Moreover, maize is expanding its contribution to non-food uses, including as a major source of ethanol as a fuel additive or fuel alternative in the US. In addition, maize has been at the center of the transgenic plant controversy, serving as the first food crop with released transgenic varieties. By 2008, maize will have its genome sequence released, providing the sequence of the first average-size plant genome (the four plant genomes that are now sequenced come from unusually tiny genomes) and of the most complex genome sequenced from any organism. Among plant science researchers, maize has the second largest and most productive research community, trailing only the Arabidopsis community in scale and significance. At the applied research and commercial improvement levels, maize has no peers in agriculture, and consists of thousands of contributors worthwhile. A comprehensive book on the biology of maize has not been published. The "Handbook of Maize: the Genetics and Genomics" center on the past, present and future of maize as a model for plant science research and crop improvement. The books include brief, focused chapters from the foremost maize experts and feature a succinct collection of informative images representing the maize germplasm collection.
Download or read book The Business of Breeding written by Deborah Kay Fitzgerald and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fitzgerald (history of technology, MIT) studies the development of one agricultural commodity as a vehicle for delineating the complexities of agricultural history. The ambiguous role of agricultural science as a scientific discipline engaged in the practical application of scientific knowledge to social and economic problems is expressed in the politics and goals of land-grant universities, agribusiness, and farmers.
