Research reported in the Plant Cell reveals important aspects of plant metabolism associated with grain filling and kernel yield in maize. The scientific breakthrough of this research is its ...

Recently, researchers at Iowa State University discovered a way to increase the accuracy of a popular crop model. By zeroing in on early stages leading up to kernel formation, scientists believe they ...

Understanding the evolution and domestication of maize has been a holy grail for many researchers. As one of the most important crops worldwide and as a crop that appears very different from its wild ...

ETHER extracts of maize-kernel pulp at pH 6 contain only part of the growth-promoting activity of the kernels. The juice expressed from the ether-extracted kernels is still highly active in the ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The interaction was studied among: 1) developing maize kernels (Zea mays L.); 2) European Corn Borer (ECB) (Ostrinia nubilalis Hubner); 3) and ...

Modern maize hybrids are found to have better stress tolerance and stay green longer than those available in the 80s and 90s. Physiological maturity takes place at ever lower values of grain moisture ...

They are unique among the mycotoxins in being almost exclusively contaminants of maize, particularly when grown in warmer regions. Maize is a major human dietary staple that has been in the diet of ...
