YS-16: A high yielding dual purpose sorghum variety

Morphometric, Physiological and Biochemical Charactrization of Local and Exotic Maize Hybrid Under Heat and Water-Stress Stress Conditions at Post-Anthesis Stage

“…ANOVA revealed the existence of very substantial differences between the maize hybrid, illustrating their genetic potential as well as productivity variations under control and three stress conditions i.e., heat stress, water-stress stress and combined heat + water-stress stress conditions. Comparable outcomes were also described by Yousaf et al (2017) and Yousaf et al (2022b), who revealed the existence of substantial variations in maize hybrids under individual heat and water-stress stress as well as their combined effects.…”

“…In order to ensure the transfer of stem reserves to sink and promote optimal photosynthetic activity in maize during heat stress, larger amounts of chlorophyll a and b must be produced (Khajeh-Hosseini et al, 2016). More biomass is delivered to the sink over the course of the silking process, and eventually, a high yield is reached (Yousaf et al, 2017;Shehzad et al, 2019). Several investigators employed cluster analysis to identify cultivars under different environmental scenarios such as water and heat stress conditions and found it quite useful in screening and classifying germplasm to run a successful hybrid breeding program (Saeed et al, 2018;Bhatti et al, 2020;Khalid et al, 2020).…”
