Petunias treated with the soybean-base fertilizer were taller, flowered in 4.5% less time, had the highest plant rating for foliar color and plant form, and did not differ in plant dry weight from the control (40% reduced nitrogen). Foliar nitrogen concentration was not affected by fertilizer source. Also, cyclamen grown with the soybean-base fertilizer had similar plant and corm growth and formed 47% more flowers than the control. Foliar levels of potassium although lower were adequate in the soybean-base fertilized plants. Ammonium toxicity and potassium deficiency symptoms did not occur with either species. While the substrate pH in the high reduced nitrogen soybean-base treatment was expected to be lower, it was higher or similar to the control in each species.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF PLANT NUTRITION}, author={Nelson, Paul V. and Pitchay, Dharmalingam S. and Niedziela, Carl E., Jr. and Mingis, Nancy C.}, year={2010}, pages={351–361} }

Increased genetic diversity can be obtained through breeding with exotic germplasm, especially tropical‐exotic sources. However, the pool of available tropical germplasm is large and diverse, making choices of tropical parents difficult. The maize breeding program at North Carolina State University has initiated a large‐scale screening effort to evaluate elite exotic maize inbreds, most of which are tropical‐exotic in origin. Here we report screening results for 88 inbreds obtained from various international breeding programs. These lines were tested in replicated yield trials in North Carolina as 50% exotic topcrosses by crossing them to a single‐cross U.S. tester of stiff‐stalk (SS) by non‐stiff‐stalk (NSS) origin. The more promising lines additionally entered 25% tropical topcrosses with SS and NSS testers and were further evaluated in yield‐trials. A handful of tropical inbred lines—CML10, CML108, CML157Q, CML274, CML341, CML343, and CML373—performed well overall. It was further determined that topcrossing to a single SS by NSS tester will suffice for initial screening purposes, allowing for elimination of the poorest performing lines. Topcrossing to additional SS and NSS testers may be of value when determining where, in terms of heterotic patterns, the better‐performing lines will fit into a breeding program.}, number={1}, journal={CROP SCIENCE}, author={Nelson, Paul T. and Goodman, Major M.}, year={2008}, pages={85–92} }

However, accurate pedigree and genetic background information for ex‐PVPA maize inbreds is necessary if they are to be effectively utilized in breeding efforts. We have used single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to evaluate the relationships and population structure among 92 ex‐PVPA inbred lines in relation to 17 well‐known public inbreds. Based on unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean clustering, principal components analysis, and model‐based clustering, we identified six primary genetic clusters represented by the prominent inbred lines B73, Mo17, PH207, A632, Oh43, and B37. We also determined the genetic background of ex‐PVPA inbreds with conflicting, ambiguous, or undisclosed pedigrees. We assessed genetic diversity across subsets of ex‐PVPA lines and concluded that the ex‐PVPA lines are no more diverse than the public set evaluated here. Additionally, all alleles present in the ex‐PVPA inbreds, for the 614 SNPs included in this study, are also found in public temperate maize germplasm.}, number={5}, journal={CROP SCIENCE}, author={Nelson, Paul T. and Coles, Nathan D. and Holland, James B. and Bubeck, David M. and Smith, Stephen and Goodman, Major M.}, year={2008}, pages={1673–1685} }
