Relay Intercropping with Cover Crops Improved Autumn Forage Potential of Sweet Maize Stover

Agriculture, 2018
Maize (Zea mays L.) stover is used globally as winter feed for livestock but the nutritive value is low, requiring supplementation. A 2-year randomized complete block study with three replicates at New Mexico State University’s Alcalde Sustainable ...

Transformation of Teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis) via Biolistic Bombardment of Seedling-Derived Callus Tissues

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Modern maize exhibits a significantly different phenotype than its wild progenitor teosinte despite many genetic similarities. Of the many subspecies of Zea mays identified as teosinte, Zea mays ssp.

The Past, Present, and Future of Maize Improvement: Domestication, Genomics, and Functional Genomic Routes toward Crop Enhancement

Plant Communications, 2020
After being domesticated from teosinte, cultivated maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) spread worldwide and now is one of the most important staple crops. Due to its tremendous phenotypic and genotypic diversity, maize also becomes to be one of the most widely ...

Second‐Generation Polyhydroxybutyrate Production From Pretreated Corn Lignocellulosic Fraction as a Strategy to Repurpose by Products From the Corn‐Processing Chain

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lignocellulosic residues are non‐cost, non‐edible, renewable feedstocks that can be used in polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production. PHB is a bioplastic synthetized by microorganisms, formed intracellularly under stressful growth conditions; however, its production costs are high, representing the major drawback for fossil‐based plastics ...

Identification of teosinte populations (Zea spp.) useful for grain yielding improvement in maize (Zea mays L.) [PDF]

, 2021
The great phenotypic and genotypic diversity of Genus Zea can be inherited within and between populations. Teosinte (Zea spp.) is the closest wild relative to maize, distributed in Mexico and Central America from Chihuahua to Costa Rica through several ...

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 ...

Integrated single-molecule real-time sequencing and RNA sequencing reveal the molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance in a novel synthesized polyploid genetic bridge between maize and its wild relatives

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Tripsacum dactyloides (2n = 4x = 72) and Zea perennis (2n = 4x = 40) are tertiary gene pools of Zea mays L. and exhibit many abiotic adaptations absent in modern maize, especially salt tolerance.
