Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, SIld disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna and broader dissemination. tional publishing house to assure improved service Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 30 (thesis year 1985) a total of 12,400 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 186 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work.

Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 15
Author: Jules JanickPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470650087
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
Plant Breeding Reviews is an ongoing series presenting state-of-the art review articles on research in plant genetics, especially the breeding of commercially important crops. Articles perform the valuable function of collecting, comparing, and contrasting the primary journal literature in order to form an overview of the topic. This detailed analysis bridges the gap between the specialized researcher and the broader community of plant scientists.

Book Description
Combining heterotic groups together for development of new heterotic pattern combinations with strong agronomic performance is an important part of modern plant breeding technique. Plant breeders emphasize proper germplasm selection within and between heterotic groups that maximize heterosis potential, genetic diversity, and potential genetic gain. Our objectives were to evaluate eight [BS10(FR)C14, BS11(FR)C14, BSSS(R)C14, BSCB1(R)C14, BS13(S)C9, BSK(HI)C11, BSK(S)C11, and BS26(S)C9] U.S. Corn Belt populations and four [BS16(S)C2, BS28(R)C3, BS29(R)C3, and BS34(S)C4] adapted exotic populations, all improved by recurrent selection, for both cultivar and among crosses agronomic performance. The populations were categorized, and agronomic data considered, based upon their characterization of belonging into either a Stiff-Stalk (BSSS) group or a Non-Stiff-Stalk (non-BSSS) group. Crosses were produced using a Design II mating design (Design II crosses). Maternal and reciprocal effects were evaluated through production of reciprocal crosses (Reciprocal Design II crosses) between the two groups. Based on mean performance, the Design II and Reciprocal Design II crosses were similar for grain yield and other agronomic traits. Individual cultivar performance was dependent on the cultivar and the trait evaluated. The Stiff Stalk BS10(FR)C14 and BSSS(R)C14 (both Reid Yellow Dent) populations had the greatest average yields of 7.55 and 7.46 t ha−1, respectively, in hybrid combination with other evaluated populations. The BS10(FR)C14 x BS29(R)C3 (Suwan-1) cross (7.96 t ha−1) had the highest grain yield, suggesting that this heterotic combination should be evaluated further in future studies. Highest estimated mid-parent heterosis occurred in the BSSS(R)C14 (Reid Yellow Dent) x BSCB1(R)C14 (Lancaster Sure Crop) cross (73%) with an average grain yield of 7.53 t ha−1. A significant grain yield maternal general combining effect ( -0.32 t ha−1) was observed for the BS13(S)C9 population, suggesting that BS13(S)C9 served better as a male parent verses a female parent in cross development. Overall, a Design II analysis was successful in determining population performance, potential new heterotic combinations while maintaining existing heterotic patterns, maternal and reciprocal effects of crosses, and allowing for heterosis expression among Design II and Reciprocal Design II crosses.
