The challenge of improving nitrogen use efficiency in crop plants: towards a more central role for genetic variability and quantitative genetics within integrated approaches. (2007, background): “In Europe, Presterl et al. (2003) showed that it is possible to select genotypes under low N fertilization conditions, although there was a significant reduction in yield.”
Genetic Analysis of Maize Root Characteristics in Response to Low Nitrogen Stress (2005, background): “As a result, breeding for low N-tolerant hybrids with big root systems should be more efficient by selection under N stress than that associated with a high N condition (Bänziger et al., 1997; Presterl et al., 2003).”
Divergent selection for grain protein affects nitrogen use in maize hybrids (2007, background): “N uptake efficiency declined with N rate to a greater extent than did N utilization efficiency, which may be because high levels of available N saturate the root uptake system before they saturate the pathways for N assimilation and utilization (Bertin and Gallais, 2000; Presterl et al., 2003).”
Interaction between genotypic difference and nitrogen management strategy in determining nitrogen use efficiency of summer maize (2009, background): “Average 45% of 600 groundwater samples, in a typical agricultural region in China, exceeded 11.3 mg nitrate-N L−1 of criterion for drinking water supplies in European (Council of European Communities 1980), with the highest nitrate-N concentration reaching 113 mg nitrate-N L−1 (Zhang et al. 1996).”
Decentralized selection and participatory approaches in plant breeding for low-input systems (2008, background): “Similarly, a study of European maize lines showed that the genetic correlation coeYcient decreased and became negative as N stress increased (Presterl et al. 2003).”
Indirect versus direct selection of winter wheat for low-input or high-input levels (2005, methodology): “Geparents were all varieties registered in France except VM014, netic correlations were calculated as rG12 COVG12/(G1,G2) VM201, and VM202, which are breeding lines from INRA and their standard deviations were computed according to Mons-Pe´ronnebreedingprogram.The270breedinglineswere Becker (1984) ”
