Soil organic carbon dynamics of improved fallow-maize rotation systems under conventional and no-tillage in Central Zimbabwe [PDF]
, 2008 Fallowing increases soil organic carbon (SOC) during the fallowing phase. However, this benefit is lost quickly during the cropping phase. The objective of this study was to evaluate SOC dynamics of an improved fallow-maize rotation under no-tillage (NT)

Characterization of the imprinting and expression patterns of ZAG2 in maize endosperm and embryo
Crop Journal, 2015 ZAG2 has been identified as a maternally expressed imprinted gene in maize endosperm. Our study revealed that paternally inherited ZAG2 alleles were imprinted in maize endosperm and embryo at 14 days after pollination (DAP), and consistently imprinted in

Maize and Precolonial Africa [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017 Columbus's arrival in the New World triggered an unprecedented movement of people and crops across the Atlantic Ocean. We study an overlooked part of this "Columbian Exchange": the effects of New World crops in Africa. Specifically, we test the hypothesis that the introduction of maize during the exchange increased population density and Trans-Atlantic

A large deletion conferring pale green leaves of maize
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background The structural basis of chloroplast and the regulation of chloroplast biogenesis remain largely unknown in maize. Gene mutations in these pathways have been linked to the abnormal leaf color phenotype observed in some mutants.

Response of Quality Protein Maize (QPM) hybrids for grain yield in diverse environments
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020 Genotype (G) × environment (E) interaction is very important for the evaluation of cultivars in breeding programmes. Present study was conducted to assess the effect of environment and yield stability of 68 quality protein maize (QPM) hybrids at three ...
