High-throughput maize root phenotyping
The root system is important for plant adaptability to changing environments. Although the importance of the root system is well reported in the research literature there is still a considerable lack of knowledge with regard to the development of root systems per se, and how root system complexity …

Combining genotyping-by-sequencing data sets for GWAS and GWS study for maize root System architecture traits
Maize has a sophisticated and complex root architecture that is important for plant anchorage and uptake of nutrients and water. Tools such as genome-wide association (GWAS) and genome-wide selection (GWS) can help the breeders to make decisions about which genotypes should advance in their …

Nitrate carrier induction and characterization in maize root plasma membrane using chlorate-36 as a radiotracer analog for nitrate
Previous studies with intact maize plants have shown an apparent induction of nitrate uptake capacity when plants are transferred to a nitrate containing nutrient solution. Whether this phenomenon reflects a change in nitrate carrier activity at the membrane level or an effect of nitrate metabolism …

N₂ fixation, plant mineral nutrition and C metabolites in cowpea/maize cropping systems
… At harvest the dry mass of both cowpea and maize were highest in sole crops. There was a significant difference in % nitrogen of maize and cowpea plants from the different cropping systems. Total nitrogen content was highest in sole cropped maize and cowpea plants with sole cowpea fixing the …

Abscisic acid : interactions with auxin in the regulation of root growth under water deficit conditions
… has been shown to inhibit shoot growth more than root growth (Sharp et al., 1988). Abscisic acid (ABA) has been shown to be involved in this differential growth response in maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings (Saab et al., 1990; Sharp et al., 1994). ABA accumulates in the elongation zone of the primary …

Evaluation of Colloidal Stability and Ecotoxicity of Metal-based Nanoparticles in the Aquatic and Terrestrial Systems
… internal dose, and thus higher mortality. Maize root anatomy showed differential alterations upon exposure to AgNPs, ZnONPs, or their ions.</p> <p>Overall, various metal-based nanoparticles revealed lower toxicity than their ions against multiple organisms. This study showed that particle …

Does root complexity affect the response of maize (Zea mays spp. mays) to abiotic stresses?
… some of the most influential factors affecting maize yields. Two of the most relevant stresses faced by growers are drought stress and low nitrogen fertility. Furthermore, production in the U.S. Corn Belt will likely continue to be significantly affected by the more frequent occurrence of hot, …

Fields and Forests: A Stable Isotope Perspective on the Subsistence Strategies of Past Amazonian Peoples
… by riverine protein and a potential small maize contribution. In the Central Amazon basin, the evidence from the Hatahara site shows a significant contribution of riverine fauna, as well as mixed plant sources including maize and C3 plants. Lastly, the results from Loma Salvatierra and …

Functional characterization of nitrate transporters in maize.
… for plant growth. Nitrate acquisition by roots and its intercellular translocation is mediated by nitrate permeable transport proteins. Nitrate transporters have been extensively studied in the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. Nitrate transporters belong to three protein families: NPF …

Plant root development and hormone signalling during drought stress
The plant root system is crucial for plant survival, growth and development, and it plays an important role in plant resistance to drought stress. Drought is one of the primary factors that restrict plant growth and yield, and its threat to crop yields will increase along with the growing food …

Evaluation of additive and nonadditive genetic variation in elite maize germplasm for root, shoot, and ear characteristics
… use efficiency, disease resistance, stalk and root strength, as well as generally improved performance under a range of biotic and abiotic stresses. Ten proprietary and two public inbreds were evaluated with a generation means design emanating from the diallel cross of the 12 parents. Parental …
