Growth and productivity of plants primarily depend on the balanced distribution of carbon (C)
and nitrogen (N) among different organs. Previous studies on crop improvement have …

Evaluating maize genotypes under different conditions is important for identifying which
genotypes combine stability with high yield potential. The aim of this study was to assess …

Most physiology-based crop simulation models do not simulate grain quality dynamics other
than protein content. In this study, a simple algorithm was adapted for predicting starch, oil …

Spectacular scientific advances in the area of molecular biology and the development of
modern biotechnological tools have had a significant impact on the development of maize …

Improving resistance to Verticillium wilt is of great significance for achieving high and stable
yields of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). To deeply understand the genetic basis of …

Ear diameter (ED) is a critical component of grain yield (GY) in maize (Zea mays L.).
Studying the genetic basis of ED in maize is of great significance in enhancing maize GY …

Background Starch are the main nutritional components of maize (Zea mays L.), and starch
pasting properties are widely used as essential indicators for quality estimation. Based on …

The ratio of amylose to amylopectin in maize kernel starch is important for the appearance,
structure, and quality of food products and processing. This study aimed to identify …

Oil is one of the main components in maize kernels. Increasing the total oil content (TOC) is
favorable to optimize feeding requirement by improving maize quality. To better understand …

Plant metabolites are the basis of human nutrition and have biological relevance in ecology.
Farmers selected plants with favorable characteristics since prehistoric times and improved …
