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 ...

Root anatomical traits contribute to deeper rooting of maize under compacted field conditions [PDF]
, 2020 © The Author(s) 2020. To better understand the role of root anatomy in regulating plant adaptation to soil mechanical impedance, 12 maize lines were evaluated in two soils with and without compaction treatments under field conditions.

Contributions of Zea mays subspecies mexicana haplotypes to modern maize [PDF]
, 2017 Maize was domesticated from lowland teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis), but the contribution of highland teosinte (Zea mays ssp. mexicana, hereafter mexicana) to modern maize is not clear. Here, two genomes for Mo17 (a modern maize inbred) and mexicana

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,

Interchromosomal Recombination in Zea mays [PDF]
Genetics, 1998 Abstract A new allele of the 27-kD zein locus in maize has been generated by interchromosomal recombination between chromosomes of two different inbred lines. A continuous patch of at least 11,817 bp of inbred W64A, containing the previously characterized Ra allele of the 27-kD zein gene, has been inserted into the genome of A188 by a ...
