Revealing the differential protein profiles behind the nitrogen use efficiency in popcorn (Zea mays var. everta) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 We investigated the proteomic profiles of two popcorn inbred lines, P2 (N-efficient and N-responsive) and L80 (N-inefficient and nonresponsive to N), under low (10% of N supply) and high (100% of N supply) nitrogen environments, associated with agronomic-
