Progress in breeding perennial forage grasses for temperate agriculture (2003, unknown): “This has precluded the use of male sterile lines to produce F1 hybrid seed, which has been pivotal in improving the yield of maize forage and grain since 1930 (Russell 1991; Lauer et al. 2001), because it would have increased the cost of the seed still further.”
Achievements and Challenges in Improving Temperate Perennial Forage Legumes (2015, background): “Experimentally-based estimates of historical rates of genetic gain arising from breeding are well-documented only for alfalfa yields in the United States, for which they consistently suggest a yearly progress around 0.25% (Table 1).”
Genetic contribution to yield gains in the Florida sugarcane industry across 33 years (2005, background): “The major participants in Duvick, 1992a; Lauer et al., 2001) to evaluate the geneticcultivar development included the University of Florida contribution to overall progress and to shed light on(the F-cultivars), the USDA Canal Point sugarcane future strategies needed for advancement.”
Genetic variation and breeding strategies for improved cell wall digestibility in annual forage crops. A review (2003, background): “These estimates of cell wall digestibility have proved their great relevance and efficiency in plant breeding [11, 15, 24, 90, 133, 160].”
