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 ...

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
