The variations in maize grain composition induced by different environments [PDF]

Acta Periodica Technologica, 2014
Nine maize hybrids were grown with the aim to determine variations in chemical composition of the grain. Analyzed hybrids were grown in split-plot experimental design with tree replications in Sremska Mitrovica and Zemun Polje, during the summer

Tapping into the maize root microbiome to identify bacteria that promote growth under chilling conditions [PDF]

, 2020
Background When maize (Zea mays L.) is grown in the Northern hemisphere, its development is heavily arrested by chilling temperatures, especially at the juvenile phase. As some endophytes are beneficial for plants under stress conditions, we analyzed the

Genome-wide association analysis and QTL mapping reveal the genetic control of cadmium accumulation in maize leaf

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in maize (Zea mays L.) poses a significant risk to human health as it is ingested via the food chain. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in a population of 269 maize accessions with 43,737 single ...
