Evaluation Of Recurrent Selection In Leaming And Midland Maize Populations , Marcelo Javier Carena
Evaluation Of Recurrent Selection In Leaming And Midland Maize Populations , Marcelo Javier Carena
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Rates of maize (Zea mays L.) yield improvement in the United States has been reduced during the 1990's. Double-cycle breeding in a few old inbred lines and limited germplasm evaluation and utilization are possible explanations. Only one heterotic pattern (Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic x Lancaster Sure Crop) is being widely exploited in U.S. dent maize breeding programs. Alternative U.S. heterotic patterns have been suggested, but they received limited attention and improvement. The objectives of this research were to evaluate inbred-progeny recurrent selection in Leaming (originated in Ohio), the oldest known U.S. open-pollinated variety, and Midland Yellow ...
Assessment Of Plant Introductions For Increasing The Genetic Variability Of Soybean Populations , James Mark Narvel
Assessment Of Plant Introductions For Increasing The Genetic Variability Of Soybean Populations , James Mark Narvel
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Plant introductions (PIs) may increase the genetic variability of soybean populations and lead to greater genetic gains from selection. Five soybean populations containing different percentages of PI parentage were developed at Iowa State University to evaluate the use of PIs for increasing genetic variability for seed yield in a recurrent selection program. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance and genetic variability of the Cycle 4 (C4) populations of AP 10 (100 % PI), AP 11 (75 % PI), AP12 (50 % PI), AP13 (25 % PI), and AP14 (0 % PI) for agronomic traits and seed composition. Multiplexing technology for simple ...
Selection For Soybean Seed Yield With Molecular Markers , Joseph Richard Byrum
Selection For Soybean Seed Yield With Molecular Markers , Joseph Richard Byrum
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Molecular markers may facilitate the identification of and selection for quantitative trait loci (QTL) that control economically important traits. The objective of the study was to compare the efficiency of selection among soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] lines for seed yield based on single replication progeny-row-yield tests (PRYT), molecular marker loci selected by pedigree analysis, and a combination of PRYT and molecular marker data. A total of 380 random F3-derived lines from three populations were evaluated in the PRYT at Ames, IA, in 1997 and were genotyped for simple sequence repeats (SSRs) that had been chosen by pedigree analysis for ...
