Influence of salicylic acid on phytochelatin synthesis in Zea mays during Cd stress [PDF]
, 2013 : Presoaking maize (Zea mays) seeds in salicylic acid (SA) reduces damage caused by cadmium. In the present work the possible role of phytochelatins (PCs) in SA-mediated protection against Cd toxicity was investigated. Seeds were presoaked in 0.5 mM SA,

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.

The Crop-Group and the inconsistent use of Linnean names in the taxonomy of domesticated plants [PDF]
, 2008 There have been several proposals for classification categories for systematic groups of domesticated plants. In the 6th edition of the International Code for Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) only two main categories were included, the cultivar ...

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 ...

Bacterial Consortium for Improved Maize (Zea mays L.) Production [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2019 The ever-increasing human population is a major concern for food security. Maize is the third largest most important food crop. The major problems of cultivation arise from urbanization and land pollution. This reduces the amount of land available for agriculture. The use of chemicals in agriculture is not environmentally friendly.

Positional cloning in maize (Zea mays subsp. mays, Poaceae) [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2015 • Premise of the study: Positional (or map‐based) cloning is a common approach to identify the molecular lesions causing mutant phenotypes. Despite its large and complex genome, positional cloning has been recently shown to be feasible in maize, opening up a diverse collection of mutants to molecular characterization.• Methods and Results: Here we ...

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

Fine Mapping of a QTL Associated with Kernel Row Number on Chromosome 1 of Maize. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The genetic factors underlying changes in ear morphology, and particularly the inheritance of kernel row number (KRN), have been broadly investigated in diverse mapping populations in maize (Zea mays L.). In this study, we mapped a region on the long arm
