Cultivars are often recommended to producers based on their averaged yields across sites within a geographic region. However, this geography-based approach gives little regard to the fact that not all sites in a given region have the same level of production capacity. The objective of this paper ...

Identifying isoyield environments for field pea production
Marker-assisted recurrent selection (MARS) is a breeding method used to accumulate favorable alleles that for example confer tolerance to drought in inbred lines from several genomic regions within a single population. A bi-parental cross formed from two parents that combine resistance to Striga ...

Genetic gains in grain yield of a maize population improved through marker assisted recurrent selection under stress and non-stress conditions in west Africa
The objective of marker assisted recurrent selection (MARS) is to increase the frequency of favorable marker alleles in a population before inbred line extraction. This approach was used to improve drought tolerance and grain yield (GY) in a biparental cross of two elite drought tolerant lines. T...

Genetic gains in yield and yield related traits under drought stress and favorable environments in a maize population improved using marker assisted recurrent selection
A numerical classification problem encountered by breeders and gene-bank curators is how to partition the original heterogeneous population of genotypes into non-overlapping homogeneous subpopulations. The measure of distance that may be defined depends on the type of variables measured (i.e., co...
