Fatty acid composition of maize germ oil from high-oil hybrids wet-milling processing [PDF]
Acta Periodica Technologica, 2005 Maize germ was obtained by wet-milling laboratory processing of domestic high-oil maize hybrids. After separation, the germ was subjected to extraction of maize oil. Fatty acid composition of maize germ oil was determined by gas chromatography.

Spontaneous Hybridization between Maize and Teosinte [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2007 The closest wild relatives of maize, Zea mays ssp. mays are various Zea taxa known as "teosinte." Hybrids between maize and the teosinte taxon, Zea mays ssp. mexicana, often occur when the 2 are sympatric in Mexico. Measuring the spontaneous hybridization rate of the 2 taxa would shed light on the mechanisms contributing to the evolution and ...

Drought responses of foliar metabolites in three maize hybrids differing in water stress tolerance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids varying in drought tolerance were treated with water stress in controlled environments. Experiments were performed during vegetative growth and water was withheld for 19 days beginning 17 days after sowing.

Performance evaluation of provitamin a maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids for yield and other agronomic traits in southwestern Nigeria [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade)Maize is a vital dietary staple in Nigeria, offering crucial nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and micronutrients. However, conventional maize lacks enough of the nutritional precursor for vitamins, necessitating the cultivation of stable,

Genetic characterization of early maturing maize hybrids (Zea mays L.) obtained by protein and RAPD markers [PDF]
, 2005 Knowledge of maize germplasm genetic diversity is important for planning breeding programmes, germplasm conservation per se etc. Genetic variability of maize hybrids grown in the fields is also very important because genetic uniformity implies risks of ...

Epistasis Activation Contributes Substantially to Heterosis in Temperate by Tropical Maize Hybrids
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Epistasis strongly affects the performance of superior maize hybrids. In this study, a multiple-hybrid population, consisting of three hybrid maize sets with varied interparental divergence, was generated by crossing 28 temperate and 23 tropical inbred ...
