Etioplast 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 کاملPhotosynthetic capacity, nutrient status, and growth of maize (Zea mays L.) upon MgSO4 leaf-application
The major plant nutrient magnesium (Mg) is involved in numerous physiological processes and its deficiency can severely reduce the yield and quality of crops. Since Mg availability in soil and uptake into the plant is often limited by unfavorable soil or climatic conditions, application of Mg onto leaves, the site with highest physiological Mg demand, might be a reasonable alternative fertiliza...
متن کاملProspective Zinc Solubilising Bacteria for Enhanced Nutrient Uptake and Growth Promotion in Maize (Zea mays L.)
Zinc (Zn) is one of the essential micronutrients required for optimum plant growth. Substantial quantity of applied inorganic zinc in soil is converted into unavailable form. Zinc solubilising bacteria are potential alternates for zinc supplement. Among 10 strains screened for Zn solubilisation, P29, P33, and B40 produced 22.0 mm clear haloes on solid medium amended with ZnCO3. Similarly, P17 a...
متن کاملAcetolactate Synthase Activity in Developing Maize (Zea mays L.) Kernels.
Acetolactate synthase (EC 4.1.3.18) activity was examined in maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm and embryos as a function of kernel development. When assayed using unpurified homogenates, embryo acetolactate synthase activity appeared less sensitive to inhibition by leucine + valine and by the imidazolinone herbicide imazapyr than endosperm acetolactate synthase activity. Evidence is presented to sh...
متن کاملMaize (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...
