Gibberellins promote vegetative phase change and reproductive maturity in maize.
Postembryonic shoot development in maize (Zea mays L.) is divided into a juvenile vegetative phase, an adult vegetative phase, and a reproductive phase that differ in the expression of many morphological traits. A reduction in the endogenous levels of bioactive gibberellins (GAs) conditioned by any one of the dwarf1, dwarf3, dwarf5, or anther ear1 mutations in maize delays the transition from j...
متن کاملEpigenetic reprogramming during vegetative phase change in maize.
An important step during plant development is the transition from juvenile to adult growth. It is only after this transition that plants are reproductively competent. Given the great danger that transposon activity represents to the germ line, this may also be an important period during development with respect to transposon regulation and silencing. We demonstrate that a change in expression o...
متن کاملMicroarray analysis of vegetative phase change in maize.
Vegetative phase change is the developmental transition from the juvenile phase to the adult phase in which a plant becomes competent for sexual reproduction. The gain of ability to flower is often accompanied by changes in patterns of differentiation in newly forming vegetative organs. In maize, juvenile leaves differ from adult leaves in morphology, anatomy and cell wall composition. Whereas ...
متن کاملDynamics of gene expression during vegetative phase change in maize
ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people who assisted me in ways large and small in the performance of this research and to whom I am indebted. Without their catalytic, nearly enzymatic function this would not have been possible. Dr. Erin Irish has been reliably helpful and patient in our collaboration, which is to say, she was an excellent mentor. The members of my committee are also owed a g...
متن کاملMaize (Zea mays L.) Response to Nitrogen Fertilizer under Drought Stress at Vegetative and Reproductive Stages
In the sub-tropics, water and nitrogen are the most important factors limiting the grain yield of maize. The effect of nitrogen (N) rates and drought stress at different growth stages of maize were investigated. Nitrogen treatments consisted of 100, 150, and 200 kgN.ha-1 from the urea source while water stress treatments were composed of irrigation-off since the early 10-leaf stage to emergenc...
