In southern fire zones, the grass is assumed to be a ‘perennial grass’, whereas in the high rainfall savanna fire zones it is ‘monsoonal perennial grass’, and in the low rainfall savanna fire zones it is ‘spinifex’. The grass model, and parameters, are described in Unkovich et al...
Plants sustain intimate relationships with diverse microbes. It is well-recognized that these plant-associated microbiota shape individual performance and fitness of host plants, but much remains to be explored regarding how they exert their function and
Historically, the most common definitions of in planta transformation have been (i) a means of transformation without tissue culture step [5,7] and (ii) a means of transformation of intact plants or plant tissues without callus culture or regeneration [14,15]. In our opinion, these definitions...
high-temperature-disinfected maize kernels in conical flask for 2 weeks. Then, 20 g of the maize kernels infected withF. graminearumwere inoculated in the rhizosphere zone of each maize plants at the vegetative 6 (V6) stage by digging up the topsoil without damaging the roots. Maize plants ...

In plants, carotenoids serve as the precursors to C13-norisoprenoids, a group of apocarotenoid compounds with diverse biological functions. Enzymatic cleavage of carotenoids catalysed by members of the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD) family has been shown to produce a number of industrially import...
in the summer of 2019. Two replicates of a complete randomized block design were used. Specifically, each line was grown in two (4 m long) rows, with 67 cm between rows and 10 plants per row. Routine field management practices were applied during the cultivation of open-pollinated plants....
