Sentence examples for kernel traits from inspiring English sources

In this study, a novel maize kernel traits scorer (MKTS) was developed for the automatic measurement of 12 maize kernel traits based on line-scan imaging, image processing, and automatic control techniques.

Therefore, the measurement of kernel traits is important for maize breeding and the evaluation of maize yield.

Maize kernel traits such as kernel length, kernel width and kernel number determine kernel weight and, consequently, maize yield.

The conventional method for measuring kernel traits is still manual, which is time consuming, costly and subjective.

The results showed that the MKTS was capable of evaluating maize kernel traits with the mean absolute percentage error of the manual and automatic measurements less than 5% and the measurement efficiency of approximately 72 s for the measurement of 6 ears.

The tb1 QTL has variable promoter sequences and expression levels in maize and teosinte, while a single amino acid difference in tga1 explains the phenotypic variations in kernel traits.

To identify the genetic factors responsible for the differences in kernels traits among Italian rice cvs, a transcriptomic comparison of developing grains at 14 DAF was here conducted on six among the most renowned Italian rice varieties, CAR, VN, ARB, VOL, BAL and GV.

Lastly, AY106616 a gene that associates with two kernel composition traits, derived starch content (DSCT) and oil content (OLC T, is expressed in the kernel.

Wilson et al. [ 67] identified significant intron polymorphisms associated with kernel composition traits for sh1 and sh2 genes.

Significant positive phenotypic and genetic correlations between KW and KT, and between kernel size traits (KL, KW and KT) and HKW were observed (Table 4), indicating that an increase in any of the three kernel size traits can increase HKW, and thus perhaps grain yield.

SNPs or insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels) in other regions of ZmGW2-CHR4 and ZmGW2-CHR5 were also found to be significantly associated with at least one of the four yield-related traits (kernel length (KL), kernel thickness (KT), KW and HKW).
