Comparative Resistance of Maize populations to the maize weevil,Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky
… among the small-holder farmers in Africa. The Maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, is one of the most important storage pest for which breeding for resistance is the best option for reducing storage losses. A study was conducted to identify maize cob and grain characteristics …

Mixed infections of maize dwarf mosaic virus and cucumber mosaic virus in maize
Maize plants collected in three geographically distinct regions of South Africa were found to be doubly infected with maize dwarf mosaic (MDMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). A mixed infection of these two viruses could be maintained in maize plants grown under laboratory conditions. The …

Characterization of Maize Cytochrome P450s
Messenger RNAs encoded by other maize P450 clones (CYP71C1, CYP51, CYP73A7, CYP73A6, CYP92A1, CYP95A1, and the ESTs 6c06b11 and 7c02c12) were also characterized with regard to their induction response to naphthalic anhydride and triasulfuron treatment. In addition, maize seedlings were also …

Genetics of Maize Inflorescence Architecture
Maize inflorescences have become a model system for functional genomics from agronomic, developmental, and evolutionary viewpoints. The purpose of this research was to gain deeper insights into genetic control of quantitative variation for maize inflorescence architecture. Two biparental …

High-throughput maize root phenotyping
… genetic basis of embryonic and post-embryonic maize root systems complexity. We define root complexity as the number of root branching points per soil volume. In subsequent studies, we evaluated the change of maize roots under low and adequate nitrogen levels and determined relationships …

Analysis of ABA-regulated expression of the maize Glb1 gene in tobacco seeds and maize cells
… in both transgenic tobacco plants as well as maize P3377 cells. For transgenic studies, a ppGlb1GUS construct, consisting of 1402 bp 5$\sp\prime$ flanking sequence of Glb1, 1919 bp GUS (coding sequence, and 283 bp 3$\sp\prime$ Nos terminator, was cloned into Bin19 vector and introduced into …

Inheritance of Weevil Resistance in Maize
… and gene action of weevil resistance in maize was undertaken using a 12 parent half diallel design. Seven resistant inbred lines were obtained from CIMMYT-Zimbabwe and five susceptible lines were obtained from soils and crop Research Branch(SCRB), Zambia. The lines were planted and …

Nitrate and ammonium interactions in maize.
… of this NH₄⁺ in the nitrogen economy of maize plants. The study also investigated whether NH₄⁺ has any effect on uptake and utilization of other nutrients, and most importantly, NO₃⁻. Growth of maize inbred line B73 was increased when one-third of total nitrogen was supplied as NH₄⁺ with …

Evaluation of phenotyping methods for maize
The quantitative measurement of plant features, also known as “phenotyping”, is an important step in the development of improved varieties of corn. These improvements typical consist of increased yield, but also increased resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses is paramount. The speed of this …

Management of higher populations in maize
… a promising strategy for higher grain yield in maize, high plant populations must be managed to lesson plant competition. Previous research has focused on different management strategies for higher plant densities, mainly row configuration, but rarely a combination of strategies. The initial …

Quantitative genetic analysis of maize organogenesis
Uncovering the genetic architecture of complex maize phenotypes is a core goal in understanding fundamental genetics and plant breeding. Several characteristics of maize have made it a staple model organism for studying gene regulation and a global food source. Understanding the underlying genetics …
