Relationship between kernel drydown rate and resistance to gibberella ear rot in maize
TL;DR: The overall result demonstrated that fast KDD was among the factors that contribute to kernel resistance to GER however its use as an indirect selection trait was less promising and screening for GER resistance using disease inoculated nurseries still remain to be the most effective method for GER breeding.

A non-destructive method for measuring maize kernel moisture in a breeding program
TL;DR: The use of this modified hand-held moisture meter can be used to improve the selection for kernel drydown in short-season corn as this meter records data faster and is lighter weight and easier to use in the field than previously used meters.

Selecting maize for rapid kernel drydown: timing of moisture measurement.
TL;DR: There was a positive correlation between weekly EMRs readings done on separate ears and those done on the same ear, indicating that repeated readings, if desired, could be made on theSame ear, and this non-destructive method will improve selection for fast kernel drydown in maize breed¬ing programs, especially in short-season areas.

Increasing stalk sucrose in sugarcorn (Zea mays L.): genetic analysis and preliminary breeding
TL;DR: Substantial increase in stalk sucrose in six different families over seven generations using a pedigree breeding method showed that selection gains could be made following this procedure and demonstrated that the hybrid combinations of C103 with 73353 for stalk sugar and with CO384 for stalk juice may be the best candidates for increasing stalk sugar.

CO468, CO469, CO470, CO471, CO472, and CO473 corn inbred lines with improved northern corn leaf blight resistance
TL;DR: These are the first corn inbred lines released from the northern corn leaf blight and possess intermediate to high levels of resistance to eyespot, common rust, Goss’s bacterial wilt, and grey leaf spot.
