Researchers at North Carolina State University show that an important gene in maize called HPC1 modulates certain chemical processes that contribute to flowering time, and has its origins in “teosinte ...
Plant architecture, phenology, productivity and quality of cultivated plants have been repeatedly shaped by selection to meet human needs. Although technology to support this process has dramatically ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The inheritance of the flowering-time in maize was studied in crosses of a dent inbred of long vegetation period, 200 g thousand kernel weight ...
Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 43, No. 249 (April 1992), pp. 565-569 (5 pages) The accumulation and partitioning of dry matter and nitrogen were examined in the developing tassel and two ...
A new study analyzed close to 4,500 maize varieties to identify more than 1,000 genes driving large-scale adaptation to the environment. Over many thousands of years, farmers have bred maize varieties ...
Association studies have rarely been used in plant genetics, in part because of the risk of false positives caused by population structure. A study of flowering time in maize makes the first use of ...
People in the southern lowlands of the U.S. rapidly committed to maize agriculture -- but it was another 2,000 years before the crop was widely grown at higher elevations. Kelly Swarts et al.
Scientists have developed a cost-effective, safe, and natural method to prevent aflatoxin poison formation in maize. The biocontrol technology works by introducing strains of the A flavus fungus that ...
Maize first arrived in the lowlands of the south-west US 4000 years ago – but it was another 2000 years before farmers living in the region’s highlands began growing it routinely. Now we think we know ...
