Polystyrene microsphere-based immunochromatographic assay for detection of aflatoxin B1 in maize. Biosensors, 11(6), 200. 3. Abdoel, T. H., & Smits, H. L. (2007). ...
With SNPs as predictors, important agronomic traits such as grain yield, grain moisture, grain quality, biomass traits, and stem and root collapse can be predicted with reasonable accuracy Advances in pan-genome assembly technologies The reduced cost of Illumina sequencing and improvements in assembly algorithms have facilitated the use of low-cost short-read data (e.g., maize ...
Maize ( Zea mays L.) crops were grown at Coimbatore in the years 2009 and 2010 during the kharif season. ...
Chemical pre-treatment by 24 h incubation at various acid and alkaline pH was also considered for its potential to increase the maize methane yield. Results suggest that the hydrolytic phase proceeds significantly faster under thermophilic conditions. ...
Heterosis in maize (Zea mays L.) confers stress tolerance. To better understand the physiological mechanisms underlying the differential response of a maize hybrid (CG60 x MBS1236) and its parental inbred lines to shading stress, studies were conducted in a field hydroponic system in Ontario, Canada, from 2004 to 2006. ...
Compared with the first experiences introducing inbreeding in temperate and tropical maize (Zea mays L.), we concluded that the use of homozygous progenitors in future cassava genetic enhancement is feasible. ...
Both for cattle nutrition and biofuel production, the improvement in maize (Zea mays L.) cell wall degradability depends on understanding the genetic mechanisms involved in the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids. ...
It was further established that outbred selection in some maize (Zea mays L.) populations may be expected to increase inbreeding depression based on published estimates of the covariance parameter ...
Expression of the Trichoderma chitinase genes, ech42 and nag1, which contribute to biocontrol activity, was monitored in vitro and on crop residues of two maize cultivars by using goxA reporter gene fusions. We found that DON-producing F. culmorum and F. graminearum strains repressed expression of nag1-gox. ...
