Journal of the American Society for Horticultural ScienceA distinctive phenotype of homozygous sugary enhancer1 (se1) sweet corn (Zea mays) inbreds and hybrids is a light-yellow color in mature kernels. Carotenoid pigments contribute to yellow endosperm color in maize and are of nutritional importance in the ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Larval development time, ADG, survival rate and substrate consumption were not negatively affected by the levels of mycotoxins contamination Larvae excreted most of the ingested DON and its derivatives through exuviae and frass The mycotoxin accumulation rates observed in larvae were always below the current legal limits for livestock feed Abstract ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Global climate change will modify the distribution areas of important cereal bugs by changing environmental conditions. Information on their dispersal possibilities can help to clarify their future economic importance and damage potential. In this study, we modelled the current potential and future distribution of four important pests by using the ...

Unravelling transcriptome changes between two distinct maize inbred lines using RNA-seq
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2018 Seed size play a significant role in maize yield production. Two maize inbred lines with distinct seed size and weight, V671 (a large-seed inbred line) and Mc (a small-seed inbred line), were investigated by RNA-seq at 14 days after pollination (DAP ...

The Endosperm of Angiosperms [PDF]
Botanical Gazette, 1911 In a recent analysis of all the available testimony in reference to the morphological nature of the endosperm of angiosperms, it seemed clear that certain conclusions might be reached, and the purpose of the present paper is to state them. It has been assumed that the endosperm must be either gametophytic tissue or sporophytic tissue, and the arguments

Food System Change, Development, and Vulnerability in Semi‐Agricultural Areas of Tibet
Culture, Agriculture, Food and Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With social and economic development, food systems have significantly changed on the Tibetan plateau over the last two decades. However, the impact of dietary change on Tibetans and their communities remains less well known. This article examines how food change happens in semi‐agricultural areas of eastern Tibet within the context of ...

Wee1 kinase differentially regulates maize CDKA2;1a and CDKB1;1
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.In eukaryotes, Wee1 kinase inhibits the kinase activity of CDK/Cyc complexes through phosphorylation of a conserved residue in the CDK moiety. Wee1 is also present in plants, but has been scarcely studied. We have studied maize Wee1 regulation of CDKA/CycD2;2a or CDKB/CycD2;2a complexes.
