Influence of genotype and environment on field pea composition and milling traits
Eight yellow pea genotypes grown across four locations were evaluated for composition and milling performance. Image analysis quantified seed size/shape traits to link genotype-by-environment effects with dehulling, splitting efficiency, and flour yields.
Report of the 2024 Uniform Regional Scab Nursery for Spring Wheat Parents
Multi-location URSN report summarizing Fusarium head blight performance of spring wheat parent lines across MN/ND/SD sites, supported by USDA and the U.S. Wheat & Barley Scab Initiative.
Characterization of yellow pea (Pisum sativum L.) genotypes for performance (agronomic and quality) and stability across environments
Thousand-seed weight of 21 yellow pea genotypes across Washington test environments was measured with a Vibe QM3i Grain Analyzer, feeding an analysis of agronomic performance, quality, and genotype-by-environment stability.
Evaluation of Methods for Measuring Fusarium-Damaged Kernels of Wheat
Across 1,266 wheat entries, this study compared manual counting, NIR spectroscopy, visual scoring, and Vibe QM3 measurements of Fusarium-damaged kernels (FDK) against DON quantified separately by GC/MS. In this dataset, QM3-derived FDK scores showed the strongest statistical relationship with laboratory DON results among the methods compared (R² = 0.63, rising to 0.76 when deployed as genomic estimated breeding values). QM3 did not directly measure DON.
A network modeling approach provides insights into the environment-specific yield architecture of wheat
Kernel morphometric parameters (length, width, area, weight) measured with the Vibe QM3 grain analyzer fed a structural equation model mapping how QTL effects on yield components translate into overall wheat yield across five environments.
Identification of Rice Mutants with Altered Grain Alkali Digestion Trait
Grain length and width of rice mutants with an altered alkali spreading response were measured with a Vibe QM3 Rice Analyzer, supporting genetic analysis showing the trait is controlled by a single recessive mutation.
