Atpase and Protein Kinase in Membranes From Corn Roots: Regulation of Tonoplast Atpase by Calmodulin or by Protein Kinase
… to find if microsomal H('+)-ATPases from corn roots are regulated by Ca('2+)- or calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein phosphorylation. This work included: (a) identifying the microsomal H('+)-ATPases; (b) characterizing protein kinase and phosphatase activities in microsomal fractions; (c) …

Meso-scale fluidic devices with chemical sensors for biological applications
… hydrotropic and oxytropic studies of small plant roots have been investigated in this study. Meso-scale sensor platform was fabricated using porphyrine complex as the sensitive dye embedded within Ethyl Cellulose (EC) polymer matrix. Green LED light displayed from the light panel helped in …

Some effects of dimethyl sulfoxide on absorption, translocation, and membrane permeability in plants
… by addition of DMSO. Root uptake of KH₂³²PO₄ by corn (<i>Zea mays</i> L., var. VPI 646) was inhibited by 3% or higher DMSO. Treatments of DMSO reduced oxygen uptake in corn roots. DMSO failed to increase diffusion of labeled solutes through isolated plant cuticular membranes. In <i>Beta …

Inheritance, fitness costs, and potential mechanisms of resistance for western corn rootworm larvae surviving Bt corn
The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, has developed resistance to most control tactics used to manage it. Transgenic corn varieties that express insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt), cause mortality to target pests when ingested. …

Spatial distribution of western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Leconte) trap counts and evaluation of a novel method for sampling soil pests of field corn
… two kinds of soil insects that attack field corn in Virginia. Corn rootworms, the most important of which is the western corn rootworm (WCR), feed on corn roots and have been sampled effectively using yellow sticky traps. The spatial distribution of weekly counts of WCR on yellow sticky traps …

Corn root growth and distribution as influenced by soil physical properties
… field conditions were investigated by observing corn ( Zea mays L.) root growth and distribution in the field and by observing the influence of soil physical stresses on corn seedling root growth in controlled environments. The field soil was Groseclose silt loam (clayey, mixed, mesic Typic …

Gut physiology and host-microbe interactions of the rotation-resistant variant of the western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
The western corn rootworm (WCR; Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) is an important chrysomelid pest of corn (Zea mays) in the US. WCR larvae feed on corn roots, while adult beetles may consume aboveground corn tissues. WCR larvae are nutritionally dependent on corn roots; completion of the …

Allelopathic effects of ferulic, gallic, and vanillic acids on corn (Zea mays L.)
… and vanillic acids on germination and growth of corn (Zea mays L.), radish (Raphanus sativus L.), and peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) showed that the inhibitory effects of these acids were concentration and growth variable dependent. Ten days after treatment, significant reduction in percent …

Effect of rotation, organic inputs and tillage on crop performance and soil quality in conventional and low-input rotations in central Iowa
… reduced chemical inputs. In this work we sampled roots and soil parameters at multiple dates and two depths in all cropping phases, in order to quantify changes in physical, chemical and biological soil quality indicators and root responses associated with tillage and cropping factors in a …

Responses of rotation-resistant and rotation-susceptible populations of the western corn rootworm to transgenic corn expressing cry toxins and validation of a damage function for corn rootworm larvae
The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a significant insect pest of corn, Zea mays L. Yield losses and control costs associated with the corn rootworm complex—which includes the northern (Diabrotica barberi Smith & Lawrence) and southern …

Field-evolved resistance to Cry3Bb1 corn by the western corn rootworm: Investigations of resistance, emergence, node-injury ratings, and fitness
The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is an economically relevant pest of corn, Zea mays L. In 2003, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) approved the use of transgenic Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner) corn hybrids …

Gating of water channels (aquaporins) in plants: effects of osmotic and oxidative stresses and the role of unstirred layers
… giant green alga Chara and of cortical cells of corn root) and across an entire organ (roots of young corn seedlings) were studied. Based on detailed information on the function of AQPs, two new gating mechanisms of AQPs have been proposed. One is the ‘cohesion/tension (C/T) mechanism’ for the …
