Maize or corn ( Zea mays L.) is a member of the Gramineae family placed in the tribe Maydeae with a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 2脳 = 20. The origin of corn has been studied extensively and remains a point of controversy. There seems to be general agreement that it originated ...
(kernel). The basic chromosome number x = 10.Tripsacumresembles more some members of theAndropogonaceaefamily than to these two closer relatives and its basic chromosome number x = 18. Teosinte can be crossed readily with maize and the offspring is fertile whereasTripsacumis more or less ...
Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) var. Saccharata is a tropical and semitropical cereal. It was obtained through a genetic mutation in the gene locus of Su (sugary) on chromosome number four of common maize [1, 2]. This highly significant vegetable is rich in minerals, vitamins, phytonutrients,...
Flowering time is considered one of the most important agronomic traits in maize (Zea mays L.), and previous studies have indicated that this trait is correlated with genome size. We observed a significant difference in genome size between tropical and temperate inbred lines and a moderate positiv...
Murray and Jessup (2013)have intensively reviewed how perenniality has arisen in maize plants. In brief, domesticatedperennialvarieties of maize arose from crosses between common maize (Zea mays) and wild perennial species(Z. perennis,tetraploid– Mexico orZ. diploperennis, diploid – Mexico). The ...
Chromosomal location of zein genes by in situ hybridization in Zea mays L In order to localize the genes coding for zein, the major storage protein of maize endosperm, zein 125 I- mRNA and 3 H- cDNA labelled at high specific ac... A Viotti,NE Pogna,C Balducci,... - MGG - ...
Maize (Zea mays L.) is at the vanguard facing the upcoming breeding challenges. However, both a super pan-genome for the Zea genus and a comprehensive genetic variation map for maize breeding are still lacking. Here, we construct an approximately 6.71-Gb
(chr1.S_274280041, P-value = 1.18 × 10− 12) that located on chromosome 1 was detected in YC by 3VmrMLM model. Its rice homolog,OsSHM1, encodes a serine hydroxymethyltransferase. The CC of theOsSHM1mutant is significantly lower than that of the wild-type control and the...
Zeamays.85,86In addition to Mir1-CP in maize, it has been directly demonstrated that CPs such aspapainandficinin the latex ofpapayaand fig latex, respectively, inhibit the growth and are responsible for the strong lethal toxicity and defense activities of these plants against herbivorous insects...
