“…Different genotypes had different grain yield in different environments [6], [11]. GY of Antcin-98 and Nermincin hybrids reported to be 3.75 and 4.47 t ha-1 respectively in a study [12]. It was reported that GY of popcorn hybrids varied from 2.72 to 4.64 t ha-1 in Turkey [13].…”

Evaluation of popcorn experimental hybrids in different geographical regions gives valuable clues to breeders in selection of best hybrids for the target environments. In the present study, 49 popcorn crosses (44 test hybrids and 5 commercial checks) were tested in three different ecological condition in Turkey. A 7×7 lattice design using three replications were used. The field experiments of this research was carried out in Samsun (Northern Turkey), Çankırı (Middle Anatolia) and Antalya (South Anatolia) ecological conditions in 2016. Yield and quality parameters such as popping volume, unpopped kernels ratio and kernel size were determined. According to the results, 10 hybrids have a high performance over than 5 commercial checks. Yield and quality results showed that TBCM2015-41, 56, 62, 76 and 80 candidate hybrids were promising popcorn hybrids for the tested environments.

“…Nonadaptability of exotic hybrid checks may be the reason for weak yield performance. Sakin et al [9] . In a study by Erdal et al, [5], 119 F1 popcorn hybrids were tested; they reported grain yield ranged from 2.27-6.33 t ha -1…”

“…It was found also that seed size, type of cultivar and degree of kernel damage caused during seed processing have an effect on popping volume and percentage of unpopped kernels [8]. Studies revealed also that popping volume was significantly higher in hybrid cultivars compared to open pollinated ones; in addition, hybrid cultivars always have percentages of unpopped kernels lower than open pollinated ones [9]. High percentage of unpopped kernels is considered defective attribute because the unpopped kernels do not contribute to popping volume [10].…”

Popcorn is considered as one of the oldest forms of field corn and mainly used as a snack food. In the time being, no local popcorn registered hybrids are available in Egypt and all country needs are imported hybrids. Therefore, there is a dire need to develop local popcorn hybrids. Using local and exotic germplasm, eighty-six promising yellow F1- hybrids were developed at Nubaria research station (30°54' N, 29°30' E) maize program, Field Crops Research Institute, ARC, Egypt. These hybrids were split into two groups (A and B); each one along with two exotic hybrid checks were evaluated under irrigation in 2019 at two environmentally different locations, one in north of Egypt and the other one in south of Egypt. Purpose of this investigation was to evaluate these promising hybrids for grain yield, number of days to mid-silk, plant height, resistance to late wilt disease and two quality traits i.e. popping volume and percentage of unpopped kernels. Randomized complete block design with 4 replications was used. All technical recommendations for maize production were applied. Highly significant differences were found among tested hybrids for all studied traits except number of wilted plants in trial A. Seven hybrids were selected, 5 from trial A and two from trial B. Hybrids # 11, 12, 17, 20 and 28 from trial A and 15, 33 from trial B. Results revealed that germplasm of Serbian origin was more beneficial to the national popcorn breeding program than other germplasm sources since most selected hybrids were of Serbian origin. Further evaluation of selected hybrids across multiple different locations is necessary before submission of selected hybrids to Variety Registration Committee.

“…Also, it may cause genetic variability that enable plant breeders to select new genotypes by improving characteristics such as precocity, tolerance to stresses, grain yield and quality 10 . The mutants developed in wheat had great potential for direct release and to include them in cross breeding program 11 . Many studies showed that the relative doses of ionizing irradiation could be useful for acceleration of cell proliferation, germination rate, cell growth, enzyme activity, stress resistance, and crop yields 12 .…”

Grains of two bread wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum), Sids-1 and Sakha-93, were irradiated with gamma rays at dose levels (0.0, 100, 200, and 300 Gy) to study the effects of gamma irradiation on physiological characteristics and genetic variation of wheat. Irradiation dose level of 200 Gy increased chlorophyll a, b, and total chlorophyll contents significantly in both cultivars. Also, proline content increased with increasing irradiation dose level, the highest concentrations were recorded at 300 Gy for Sids-1 and Sakha-93 cultivars as compared to the control. Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers have been done to help understanding their genetic differences. Eight ISSR primers (14A, 44B, HB-08, HB-10, HB-11, HB-12, HB-13, and HB-15) exhibited polymorphism with the un-irradiated and irradiated two wheat cultivars. These pimers successfully showed different banding patterns with several amplicons varied from 4 for (14A) to 15 for (HB-10). These 72 amplicons for the two cultivars and an average of 9.0 amplicons with mean of 67.96% polymorphism and resolving power (Rp) of 3.41. It is also cleared that radiation is more effective on Sids-1 cultivar with 55.5% polymorphism than on Sakha-93 cultivar with 51.9% polymorphism. Total amplicons found in Sids-1cultivar were 64, ten of them were unique amplicons (UA): 5 UA(+) and 5 UA(−). Irradiation dose (200 Gy) showed the highest number of UA (3 UA− and 3 UA+) in Sids-1cultivar. While, total amplicons found in Sakha-93 cultivar were 58, eight of them were 5 UA(+) and 3 UA(−). Irradiation dose (300 Gy) showed the highest number of UA as 4 UA+. It could be concluded that gamma irradiation of wheat grains produced an appropriate number of generated variations and that ISSR analysis given a useful molecular marker for the symmetry of the mutants.
