However, phosphorus availability is low in many soils, and the plant's ability to acquire phosphorus from the rhizosphere is critical in the acid soils of the Brazilian Cerrado. In addition, high levels of fixed phosphate (Pi) in many soils reduce phosphorus availability to plants. Thus, Pi deficiency is a significant concern for crop growth and high yields in tropical soils. The intra- and interspecific variations in plant growth under Pi-limiting conditions are complex traits controlled by many induced or suppressed genes, comprising an intricate epistatic regulatory network interacting within cells and the external environment. The microRNA genes (miRNAs), a class of regulators that induce, degrade or repress mRNA transcription and translation, are another critical aspect of this network. As a result, changes in morphology (growth and root architecture) and physiological (enzymes, organic acids, and anthocyanin) can be observed in plants under Pi stress. Furthermore, symbiotic associations with phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi increase phosphorus availability to plants. Therefore, understanding mechanisms involved in plant adaptation to phosphorus deficiency is critical for developing cultivars adapted to low phosphorus levels in the Brazilian acid soils. This review addresses P acquisition and use by plants and discusses its implications in genetic breeding programs.","PeriodicalId":34859,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Milho e Sorgo","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47055085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In terms of productivity, the annual increase rate in tropical regions is twice as higher as the increase rate in temperate regions. The increase in maize grain yield was expressive in the last 41 years in Brazil. Such achievement was possible due to the joint efforts of many areas of science, especially, plant breeding. Although maize breeding success, many are the challenges faced by the maize breeders to develop high-yielding maize hybrids. Tropical conditions provide more intense challenges in terms of pests and diseases pressures, and above all, water deficit conditions. In addition, the constant increase of breeding programs costs requires the development and application of new techniques to improve the genetic gain per time unit, increasing the maize breeding programs’ efficiency. This review discusses the main challenges faced by maize breeding programs under tropical conditions, highlighting topics related to the development of maize hybrids for first and second growing seasons; breeding for biotic and abiotic stresses conditions; specialty maize breeding; use of transgenic in maize; and genomic tools to maximize the efficiency of maize breeding programs under tropical conditions.

It constitutes one species of most economic interest and provides multiple products with applications in diverse sectors, from animal feed to industrial products and even human food. More and more companies that represent this segment release genetically modified maize hybrids to ensure return on investment, decreasing the supply of conventional (non-transgenic) cultivars available on the market. Seed is one of the main components of the cost of maize production. Thus, farmers that obtain lower yields cannot afford to pay the relatively high costs of the high technology hybrid seeds or improve their production system, but it is possible to obtain satisfactory results through lower seed investments. Therefore, intervarietal hybrids may represent an alternative for meeting the needs of small and medium-sized farmers, with fewer resources for investments in inputs and seeds, and for supplying varieties that meet the needs of the small maize grower. This review presents a history of conventional maize breeding in Brazil and describes the main maize cultivars with low-cost seeds developed by public R&D companies, mainly focusing on the Instituto Agronômico (IAC) as an option for small and medium-sized maize growers in Brazil.","PeriodicalId":34859,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Milho e Sorgo","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41557040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

GM corn was planted for the first time in Brazil in 2008 and, a few years later, it reached more than 80% of the planted area. Currently, the GM corn area in Brazil is close to 90%. The traits introduced in corn are related to herbicide tolerance and insect resistance, and the benefits for farmers and the environment in these 12 years were enormous. GM events also impacted plant breeding, and breeding methods needed to be adapted to include the introduction of GM events into germplasm. New emerging technologies, such as gene editing and synthetic biology, may have a new impact on corn improvement, creating new traits, many of them non-transgenic.

However, there is little information about its potential to interfere with the main agricultural crops. This study aimed to estimate the economic weed threshold (EWT) of M. sobolifera plants in commercial areas of production of off-season corn. There were losses in grain yield of up to 303.7 kg plant-1 of M. sobolifera. Considering an acceptable loss in grain yield of 614.05 kg ha-1, EWT estimates varied from 2.0 to 41.2 plants m-2 of M. sobolifera. In practice, these data can be used in no-till areas, where complementary control is necessary at the crop post-emergence (V4-V6), after desiccation of the area, to maintain weed density at tolerable levels until the end of the cycle. In addition, factors such as the use of less competitive hybrids, obtaining the maximum productive potential of the crop, increasing the value of the harvested product and the efficiency of chemical management (desiccation) and a reduction in the cost of control contribute to the reduction of the EWT and make the adoption of management practices of M. sobolifera more profitable in off-season corn.
