2004 Kansas Performance Tests with Winter Wheat Varieties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station annually compares both new and currently grown varieties in the state’s major crop-producing areas. These performance tests generate unbiased performance information designed to help Kansas growers select ...

Rooting for the little guy: Below‐ground traits predict juvenile grass demography in microsites

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 969-984, April 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant functional traits can be a powerful tool for predicting species demography in response to variable environmental conditions. However, accurate predictions of juvenile plant response require ontogenetically relevant traits that capture the response to microsite ...

Genotypic variation in coleoptile or mesocotyl lengths of upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) and seedling emergence in deep sowing

open access: yes, 2012
Rain-fed upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the important crops in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) accounting for over 40% of the area under rice cultivation.

Fusicoccin Counteracts the Toxic Effect of Cadmium on the Growth of Maize Coleoptile Segments

open access: yesArchives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2011
The effects of cadmium (Cd; 0.1–1000 μM) and fusicoccin (FC) on growth, Cd2+ content, and membrane potential (Em) in maize coleoptile segments were studied.

Carbohydrate flow during grain filling: Phytohormonal regulation and genetic control in rice (Oryza sativa)

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 1086-1104, April 2025.
This review examines how hormonal homeostasis integrates environmental/developmental signals to guide carbohydrate flow in rice grain filling and endosperm development. Genetic/transcriptional networks, explored through superior/inferior spikelet models, will help reveal targets to optimize grain filling and guide breeding high‐yield crops.

Growth of maize coleoptiles in the presence of natural and synthetic growth regulators. Growth correlations

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The effect of natural (IAA, FC, ABA) and synthetic (2,4-D) growth substances on the increase of the fresh weight of maize coleoptile segments and change of the pH of the incubation medium, accepted here as criteria of maize coleoptile growth, was studied.

Cold weather stresses corn; herbicide injury possible [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Recent reports of emergence problems in corn (see photos) suggest that the earlier cold temperatures and heavy rains have had a lasting impact on corn stands.

Beyond species and spatial boundaries: Enabling long‐distance gene silencing in plants via guanidinium‐siRNA nanoparticles

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 4, Page 1165-1177, April 2025.
This study presents a guanidinium‐containing disulfide nanoparticle (Gu+‐siRNA NPs) delivery system for efficient, species‐independent RNA interference in plants. Gu+‐siRNA NPs exhibit high biocompatibility, low toxicity, and effective gene silencing across plant tissues, enhancing crop productivity. Summary RNA interference (RNAi) has been widely used

Genetic, evolutionary and plant breeding insights from the domestication of maize. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The natural history of maize began nine thousand years ago when Mexican farmers started to collect the seeds of the wild grass, teosinte. Invaluable as a food source, maize permeated Mexican culture and religion.
