Book Maize  Nutrition Dynamics and Novel Uses

Download or read book Maize Nutrition Dynamics and Novel Uses written by Dharam Paul Chaudhary and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maize is a globally important crop mainly utilized as feed, food and raw material for diverse industrial applications. Among cereals, it occupies third place after rice and wheat and is a staple food for a large segment of population worldwide particularly in the Asian as well as African countries. This monogram discusses various aspects of nutritional quality of maize such as quality protein maize which has been considered as most significant discovery in enhancing nutritional quality of cereals in terms of increasing the concentration of essential amino acids. The biochemistry of starch which is an important industrial product of maize has been discussed in detail. Further, the role of maize oil which is highly regarded for human consumption as it reduces the blood cholesterol concentration has also been elaborated. Naturally, maize is a rich source of carotenoids such as beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, cryptoxanthin which have highly diverse health benefits ranging from maintaining normal vision to lowering of oxidative stress. The need for biofortification of maize for provitamin A carotenoids and their role in alleviating vision impairments have also been discussed. The effect of various biotic and abiotic stresses particularly carbon dioxide and temperature on quality has been discussed thoroughly. Many value-added products as well as fermented foods that have been produced from maize which is consumed in different forms worldwide are also discussed. The aspects related to the maize application as fodder and as a source of malting have also been covered concisely. Overall, the book provides complete information about various quality aspects of maize. The various stakeholders such as maize researchers, extension specialists, students, teachers as well as farmers will be immensely benefitted from this monogram.

This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing cultivars with high yield potential and stability across environments is essential to sustain the increasing global population in the context of climate change. Maize (Zea mays L.) is the major crop grown in the United States. Maize breeding processes involve genomic selection and the evaluation of experimental hybrid phenotypes using small plots to estimate genotypic performance. In this dissertation, I work with an extensive multi-environmental trial dataset with the goals to (1) characterize the relative value of the three donor inbreds as sources of useful alleles representing elite, non-elite, and un-selected donor types, (2) understand genomic prediction models that effectively identify new hybrids. Results showed that the parent with additional breeding cycles (elite) produced hybrids with lower genotype by environment interaction (GxE) variance. The reduced GxE variance of the population with the longest history of selection for favorable alleles led to greater prediction accuracy), contributing to greater yield stability. My second study in the dissertation assesses the impact of plant stand (number of plants per plot) and plant spacing variability in contributing non-heritable variation in breeding trials. We evaluated the grain yield performance of five hybrids exhibiting varied ear-flex traits across five manually adjusted plant spacing setups. Results demonstrated that in 36% of the occasions, we found differences that were not a reflection of genotypic effects but rather variations in spacing conditions (significant differences). However, incorporating the plot length, stand count, and plant spacing data into the model corrected for the non-systematic variability in the breeding trial.
