'Corn: Chemistry and Technology, Third Edition, ' provides a broad perspective on corn from expert agronomists, food scientists and geneticists. This encyclopedic storehouse of comprehensive information on all aspects of the world's largest crop (in metric tons) includes extensi…
A series of field experiments on soybean and corn was conducted at the Agronomy and Agricultural Engineering Research Center near Boone, Iowa during 1996 and 1997. Growth chamber experiments on rapeseed germination and establishment were also conducted in 1998. Objectives of the…
Molecular markers were used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) conferring resistance to three diseases and three insect pests in 110 maize recombinant inbred lines (RILs). The markers included 116 restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and four simple sequence…
Amelioration of saline soil using tree and fodder rotations was documented in the lower Indus Basin, Pakistan. Reclamation crops grown for 18 months were Sesbania cannabina, Leucaena leucocephala, and Diplachne fusca for fodder production, S. cannabina and L. leucocephala for gr…
Two fungal genera contain the primary etiological agents of stalk rot diseases for maize and sorghum in Egypt: the Cephalosporium-Acremonium and the Gibberella fujikuroi species complexes. The Cephalosporium maydis strain set analyzed had 866 members, whereas the G. fujikuroi sp…
This thesis examined the role of phenolic substances in resistance to insect pests of maize and sorghum. Eight landraces of sorghum collected in Ethiopia were assessed for methanol soluble phenolic content (as catechin equivalents) by the Prussian blue procedure and storage inse…
The genomes of seven maize streak geminivirus (MSV) isolates from maize (Zea mays) in Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria and Zimbabwe and Setaria verticillata in Kenya were cloned and characterized to define an MSV signature sequence and relate sequence and virulence characteristics. Restri…
Phenotypic plasticity (gene by environment interaction) of root systems is one possible mechanism of plant adaptation to nonuniform distribution of soil phosphorus. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of phosphorus and temperature on the root morphology and P up…
Southern Piedmont and Coastal Plain soils have undergone severe degradation, which is reflected in low soil organic carbon (SOC) contents. Restoration of SOC would improve soil quality and C sequestration, leading to a more sustainable agriculture and potentially mitigating the …
Maize Agroecosystem deals with the agronomy, soil fertility, and productivity of maize. The book includes the history of maize growing, the kinds of soil needed, nutrient dynamics, the use of soil organic matter, the physiology and genetics of maize, and integrated nutrient mana…
Maize is among the most widely spread and widely used crops of the world, used for cereals for over 4 billion humans, as food for farm animals, and as a source material for biofuel production. Yet there are relatively few books on the cropping system of this important crop. This…
"Maize is one of the versatile emerging crops with wider adaptability under varied agro-climatic conditions. Globally, maize is known as queen of cereals because it has the highest genetic yield potential among the cereals. It is cultivated on nearly 150 m/ha in about 160 countr…
