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

Cereal grain with low acrylamide formation potential as a raw material for safer cereal-based food products in Serbia [PDF]
The presence of acrylamide, a mutagen and a Group 2A carcinogen, in food, is a health concern that might raise cancer risk. Acrylamide is mainly formed in the Maillard reaction between free asparagine and reducing sugars, during industrial thermal food ...

The Maize Megagametophyte [PDF]
The life cycle of plants alternates between a diploid and a haploid generation. In flowering plants the haploid gametophytes are sexually dimorphic and produce the gametes, which fuse to produce the diploid sporophyte of the next generation. The megagametophyte of maize follows the Polygonum-type pattern of development:one of the four meiotic products,

Determination of free phenolic acids from leaves within different colored maize [PDF]
Along with other plant parts, maize leaves are widely used for making fermented food for cattle, known as silage. Since there have been only a few reports on studies concerning the extraction and determination of phenolic acids from maize leaves,

Maize-targeted mutagenesis: A knockout resource for maize [PDF]
We describe an efficient system for site-selected transposon mutagenesis in maize. A total of 43,776 F 1 plants were generated by using Robertson's Mutator ( Mu ) pollen parents and self-pollinated to establish a library of transposon-mutagenized seed. The frequency of
