Relationship between hybrid performance and genetic variation in self-fertile and self-sterile sugar beet pollinators as estimated by SSR markers
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2017)
Sugar beet hybrid varieties are produced through the crosses between male sterile lines and the multigerm pollinators. The uniformity of pollinators used for hybrid crosses depends on the presence of self-sterility (S-s) ...
Genetic improvement of grain yield and bread-making quality of winter wheat over the past 90 years under the Pannonian Plain conditions
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2020)
Studies on genetic gains in a historical set of wheat cultivars mostly refer to grain yield and the associated agronomical and physiological traits, while less attention is paid to the improvement of wheat quality. In order ...
Genetic gains in grain yield, morphological traits and yield stability of middle-late maize hybrids released in Serbia between 1978 and 2011
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2016)
Studies on genetic gains in grain yield and other traits may be very useful in providing necessary information to plant breeders about the effectiveness of their breeding programs. The objective of this research was to ...
Effect of environmental variables on performance of Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) cultivars in a long term trial: a statistical approach
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2017)
Tuber yield, together with tuber number and size are the basic agronomic and breeding traits in Jerusalem artichoke and can be significantly affected by environmental factors. We report the results of a long term trial on ...
Comparative performance of winter and spring malting barleys in semiarid growing conditions
(Springer, Dordrecht, 1998)
In Europe, during the 1960s, mainly two-rowed spring barley was used for malting. Traditionally, spring malting barley was produced in regions with moderate temperatures and adequate rainfall throughout the growing season. ...
Genotype by environment interactions in wheat quality breeding programs in southeast Europe
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2010)
The objective of this study was to determine genotype x environment interactions (GEI) obtained in wheat production in southeast Europe for protein content, sedimentation value, and loaf volume. Twenty wheat genotypes ...
Mapping of a new gene for resistance to broomrape races higher than F
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2016)
Broomrape (Orobanche cumana) is one of the most important parasitic plants that can drastically reduce sunflower yield. Breeding for resistance is regarded as the most effective and environmentally friendly control measure. ...
Effect of recombination in the maize breeding population with exotic germplasm on the yield stability
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2012)
A little knowledge exists about the probability that recombination in the parental maize populations will enhance the chances to select more stable genotypes. The synthetic parent maize population ((1601/5 x ZPL913)F-2 = ...
Relationships between line per se and testcross performance for agronomic traits in two broad-based populations of maize
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2008)
Degree of the association between line per se performance (LP) and testcross performance (TP) is important in breeding programs and simultaneous improvement of commercial hybrids and their parental lines. This experiment ...
Comparison of methods for the estimation of best parent heterosis among lines developed from interspecific sunflower germplasm
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
Pre-breeding and elite breeding are two steps in creating high yielding sunflower hybrids that differ in well established procedures and selection methods. However, a methodology that bridge efficient use of introgression ...
