Bioaccumulation Factor of Selected Heavy Metals in Zea mays [PDF]

Journal of Health and Pollution, 2019
Background. Health risks arising from heavy metal pollution have attracted global attention. As a result, many studies on the accumulation of heavy metals in soil-plant systems have performed human health risk assessments.

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).

Diallel analysis of maize lines with contrasting responses to applied nitrogen. [PDF]

, 2004
Six S5 lines of maize, previously identified as having contrasting responses to nitrogen (N) supply, were used to carry out a complete series of diallel crosses. The resulting 15 hybrids were grown in a field at two N levels.

Stable centromere positioning in diverse sequence contexts of complex and satellite centromeres of maize and wild relatives

Genome Biology, 2017
Background Paradoxically, centromeres are known both for their characteristic repeat sequences (satellite DNA) and for being epigenetically defined. Maize (Zea mays mays) is an attractive model for studying centromere positioning because many of its ...

Maize (Zea mays) Response to Abiotic Stress

, 2022
The most extensively produced crop globally is Maize (Zea mays). Its response to diverse environmental stressors is dynamics and complicated, and it can be plastic (irreversible) or elastic (reversible). There is a wide range of soil and climatic conditions in which Maize can be grown.

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
