Genetic analysis of central carbon metabolism unveils an amino acid substitution that alters maize NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Central carbon metabolism (CCM) is a fundamental component of life. The participating genes and enzymes are thought to be structurally and functionally conserved across and within species.

Harnessing the tillering ability of Zea mays ssp. parviglumis in fodder maize breeding
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2021 Maize (Zea mays L.) has diversified uses in the form of food, feed and fodder. In India green fodder deficit of 61.1 % has been reported. Under this scenario, maize and its wild relatives with its wide adaptability have enormous potential to serve as ...

Atrazine accumulation and toxic responses in maize Zea mays [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2012 Atrazine accumulation, oxidative stress, and defense response in maize seedlings exposed to extraneous atrazine were studied. Accumulation of atrazine in maize increased with increasing exposure concentration. The abscisic acid (ABA) content was positively correlated with the atrazine concentrations in maize roots and shoots (p < 0.05).

Artificial chromosome formation in maize (Zea mays L.) [PDF]
Chromosoma, 2008 We report on the construction of maize minichromosomes using shuttle vectors harboring native centromeric segments, origins of replication, selectable marker genes, and telomeric repeats. These vectors were introduced into scutellar cells of maize immature embryos by microprojectile bombardment. Several independent transformation events were identified

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2018 Based on two-year experiments on inoculated corn, including genotypes of sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata)and popcorn (Zea mays var. everta), the analysis of fumonisin FB1 content in kernels was performed. Infection degree of sweet corn was 2.00 and
