The Significance Of Xenia Effects On The Kernel Weight Of Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach
The Significance Of Xenia Effects On The Kernel Weight Of Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The purpose of this paper is to appraise the xenia effects of the pollen parent on the kernel weight of corn (Zea mays L.), and to interpret so far as possible their genetic, physiologic and applied significance. The conclusions will be based on local experiments and a review of the literature.
The Effects Of Thermal-Neutron Irradiation Of Maize And Barley Kernels, John W. Schmidt, E. F. Frolik
The Effects Of Thermal-Neutron Irradiation Of Maize And Barley Kernels, John W. Schmidt, E. F. Frolik
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
It is the purpose of this paper to report the effects of thermal-neutron irradiation of maize and barley kernels on subsequent germination, plant establishment, and early plant development. Comparisons are made with equivalent neutron treatments of maize pollen, results of which have been reported in part in previous publications.
The Immediate Effect Of Gametic Relationship And Of Parental Type Upon The Kernel Weight Of Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach
The Immediate Effect Of Gametic Relationship And Of Parental Type Upon The Kernel Weight Of Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This investigation to determine the relation of the kernel weight of corn to the source of pollen with which it was fertilized has been made to answer several questions of both practical and technical interest: (1) To what extent is kernel weight affected in the current crop by the "breadth of breeding" or the gametic relationship? (2) What is the relation of the diversity of parental type to the immediate effect of foreign pollen upon the kernel weight of corn? (3) Is the immediate effect of cross-fertilization upon the kernel weight of sufficient importance to justify the annual mixing of …
