The Contribution of Breeding to Yield Advances in maize (Zea mays L.) (2005, background): “yield gains averaged 63 kg ha 1 year 1 from 1930–1960 and 110 kg ha 1 year 1 during the next 40 years (Troyer, 2000).”
Crop Domestication as a Long‐Term Selection Experiment (2010, background): “…of major genes (see below), followed by a period of several millennia with a yield stasis or limited progress in yield potential due to inefficient farmer selection, and culminating, since the 20th century, in an era of marked progress through the application of modern plant breeding (Troyer 2000).”
Adaptedness and heterosis in corn and mule hybrids (2006, methodology): “Utilizing within-inbred, favorable epistasis offers a more controlled and predictable breeding method for inbred or hybrid improvement (Troyer, 1994, 2000; Lamkey et al., 1995).”
