• Shaping agricultural innovation systems responsive to food insecurity and climate change (2011, background): “…varieties (OPVs) in recognition of smallholder farmer practices of saving seed from one season to the next; and a shift from conventional plant breeding to a participatory varietal selection (PVS) methodology known as the 'mother-baby' model (McCann et al. 2007; Banziger and Cooper 2001).”
• Survey of Plant Density Tolerance in U.S. Maize Germplasm (2014, background): “In general, highly managed environments (such as irrigated Env1) tend to have reduced genotype × stress interaction, thus reducing the variability within the environment (Banziger and Cooper, 2001).”
• Efficiency of Plant Breeding (2015, background): “Although lower experimental errors and higher heritability are obtained on research stations, the results have limited relevance to genotype performance in the on-farm target population of environments (Bänziger and Cooper, 2001).”
• Response to Direct Selection for Grain Yield under Drought Stress in Rice (2007, background): “This approach has been used successfully in maize to develop populations combining improved drought tolerance with high yield potential under favorable conditions (Bänziger and Cooper, 2001).”
• A comparison of formal and participatory breeding approaches using selection theory (2001, background): “Even in such environments, however, attention must be paid to the problem of precision of evaluation and the control of random GEI effects in the selection process ( Banziger & Cooper, 2001 ).”
• Participatory plant breeding research: Opportunities and challenges for the international crop improvement system (2004, background): “Banziger & Cooper, 2001; van Eeuwijk et al., 2001) are adding credibility to PPB approaches.”
• Decentralized selection and participatory approaches in plant breeding for low-input systems (2008, background): “When moving from high to low yielding environments, the genetic variance generally decreases while the error variance may increase ( Banziger and Cooper 2001; Bertin and Gallais 2000; Ud-Din et al. 2004; Brancourt-Hulmel et al. 2005).”
