Maize (Zea mays L.).

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2006
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation is an effective method for introducing genes into maize. In this chapter, we describe a detailed protocol for genetic transformation of the maize genotype Hi II. Our starting plant material is immature embryos cocultivated with an Agrobacterium strain carrying a standard binary vector.

Heterosis and Photosynthesis in Maize (Zea Mays L.)

1984
In previous studies we have reported that marked metabolic deviations in the first steps of the C4 photosynthetic pathway occur among inbred lines of maize with changes In the photosynthetic rate and dry matter production (Morot-Gaudry et al., 1979; Morot-Gaudry et al., 1981).

Sampling Maize (Zea mays) Seed Endophytes

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols
For most farmers, the production of maize grain is the ultimate goal of the entire field season. From the point of view of plant microbiome studies, seeds are particularly interesting in that they are the only avenue for vertical transmission of microbes from parent to offspring, though microbes can also enter maize seeds via wounds or silks.

Manipulating the Maize (Zea mays) Microbiome

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols
Maize (Zea mays) is a multifaceted cereal grass used globally for nutrition, animal feed, food processing, and biofuels, and a model system in genetics research. Studying the maize microbiome sometimes requires its manipulation to identify the contributions of specific taxa and ecological traits (i.e., diversity, richness, network structure) to maize ...

Improved anther culture of maize (Zea mays)

Plant Science Letters, 1981
Abstract Culture of anthers of maize hybrids Dan-San 91, King Hwang 13 and Coe's inbred stock 6 in vitro was attampted. Dan-San 91 repeatedly performed efficiently; approx. 17% of the inoculated anthers of this hybrid on the average responded positively to culturing.

Gametophyte Transformation in Maize (Zea mays, Gramineae)

1986
Genetic transformation, with or without living biological systems has been achieved with several species of higher plants. The most efficient living delivery system is the Ti plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. It functions as a gene transfer vector in a range of dicotyledoneous taxa (Horsch et al.

Arsenic accumulation in maize crop (Zea mays): A review

Science of The Total Environment, 2014
Arsenic (As) is a metalloid that may represent a serious environmental threat, due to its wide abundance and the high toxicity particularly of its inorganic forms. The use of arsenic-contaminated groundwater for irrigation purposes in crop fields elevates the arsenic concentration in topsoil and its phytoavailability for crops.

Integrated weed management in maize (Zea mays)

Indian Journal of Agronomy, 2001
A field experiment was cbnducted at Almora during 1994 96 to find out most effective control measure for weeds in rainy season maize (Zea mays L.) under rainfed conditions. Pre emergence atrazine (1.25 kg/ha), pendimethalin (1.50 kg/ ha) and alachlor (2.00 kg/ha) alone and in combination with 3 post emergence (30 days after sowing) control measures ...

MORPHOLOGY OF TEOSINTOID AND TRIPSACOID MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.)

American Journal of Botany, 1978
Modern races of maize (Zea mays L.) are characterized by indurated glume and rachis tissues. The archaeological record, as well as experimental studies indicate that in North America this induration is associated with hybridization between domesticated maize and its closest wild relative Z. mays subsp. mexicana (Schrad.) Iltis (teosinte).
