Genetic Analysis of Teosinte Alleles for Kernel Composition Traits in Maize
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 Teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis) is the wild ancestor of modern maize (Zea mays ssp. mays). Teosinte contains greater genetic diversity compared with maize inbreds and landraces, but its use is limited by insufficient genetic resources to evaluate ...

Glutathione transferases in maize (zea mays) [PDF]
, 1998 The glutathione transferases (GSTs) of maize have been the most studied GSTs in plants, however much is still not known about these enzymes. In the course of the current study six GST subunits (Zm GSTs I, II and III, which have been reported previously ...

Two-year field data on neonicotinoid concentrations in guttation drops of seed treated maize (Zea mays) [PDF]
, 2018 We present neonicotinoid concentrations in guttation drops of commonly used maize (Zea mays) cultivars, germinated from seeds coated with active substances (a.s.): i) imidacloprid (IMD), ii) clothianidin (CTN) and iii) thiamethoxam (THM) over two growing

The potential role of genetic assimilation during maize domestication.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Domestication research has largely focused on identification of morphological and genetic differences between extant populations of crops and their wild relatives. Little attention has been paid to the potential effects of environment despite substantial

Role of glutathione transferases in herbicide detoxification in weeds [PDF]
, 1996 Glutathione transferases (GSTs) catalyse the conjugation of the electrophilic herbicides atrazine, metolachlor, alachlor and fluorodifen with the tripeptide glutathione (GSH).
