Maize (Zea mays L.).
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation is an effective method for introducing genes into maize. In this chapter, we describe a detailed protocol for genetic transformation of the maize genotype Hi II. Our starting plant material is immature embryos cocultivated with an Agrobacterium strain carrying a standard binary vector. In addition to step-by-step laboratory transformation proced...
متن کاملChemical composition and nutritive value of four varieties of cassava leaves grown in South-Western Nigeria.
The nutritive value of leaves of four varieties of cassava - MS 6, TMS 30555, Idileruwa and TMS 30572 was evaluated based on their chemical composition and in vitro fermentation. Crude protein (CP) contents of cassava leaves ranged from 177 to 240 g/kg dry matter (DM), with TMS 30555 showing the highest CP contents. Neutral detergent fibre (NDFom) and acid detergent fibre (ADFom) contents of ca...
متن کاملROLE OF POTASSIUM IN PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS OF SPRING MAIZE (Zea mays L.) GROWN UNDER DROUGHT STRESS
Drought stress leaves deleterious effects on growth of maize plant while potassium plays an important role in reducing such deleterious effects. To study the role of potassium on maize plant grown under drought stress an experiment was conducted at Postgraduate Agricultural Research Station, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Maize hybrids 32-F-10 (drought tolerant) and YH-1898 (drought sensitive) were grow...
متن کاملEtioplast Development in Dark-grown Leaves of Zea mays L.
The ultrastructure of etioplasts and the acyl lipid and the fatty acid composition of sequential 2-centimeter sections cut from the base (youngest) to the top (oldest) of nonilluminated 5-day-old etiolated leaves of Zea mays L., and the acyl lipid and fatty acid composition of the etioplasts isolated from them have been investigated. There is a 2.5-fold increase in the size of the plastids from...
متن کاملEpistasis in Maize (zea Mays
ISHER (1918) provided a framework for the characterization of genotypic variance whereby he partitioned it into three components: ( 1 ) a portion associated with the average effects of genes, (2) a portion associated with dominance effects (allelic interactions) of genes, and (3) a portion associated with epistatic effects (nonallelic interactions) of genes. A logical method for the further sub...
