Plant stress is a major limitation to crop yield. The amelioration of crop environments is
either impossible or costly. The breeding of crop varieties resistant to environmental stress is …

This publication opens with the inevitable introduction, moves on to the present traditional
approach to breeding for yield stability, and then enumerates a detailed discussion of the …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a product of tropical areas of the New World, where it was
domesticated probably between 7000 and 10,000 years ago. 47 Although there have been …

The initial steps in the origin of corn were probably taken during the invention of New World
agriculture. Since Darwin's time, the process of domestication has been recognized as a …

Studies in corn have identified genetic variation attributable to unitary factors at perhaps
1000 or more loci, loosely defined; if rigorous criteria were applied with regard to supporting …

A technique for studying variation in the accumulation of abscisic acid (ABA) in response to
drought stress is described. Two experiments, each testing 26 spring wheat genotypes, were …
