Effects of aluminum toxicity on maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings
Aluminum toxicity is one of the most deleterious factors for plant growth in acidic soils because over 50% of the world’s potentially arable lands are acidic. In recent years, considerable research has been conducted to understand the mechanisms of Al toxicity and tolerance in plants. This paper reviews the effects of different concentration of Al on plant shoot, root physiological parameters s...
متن کاملRecombination in Zea Mays
meiotic process in plants or animals does not necessarily produce the same T:!rcentage of recombinants in male and female germ cells. In maize, the frequency of recombination in a particular chromosomal region is usually higher in microsporogenesis than in megasporogenesis, if a difference exists at all. Chromosomes 2 and 10, according to genetic tests thus far, have similar recombination frequ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Enzymes Involved in Photosynthetic Carbon Assimilation in Greening Seedlings of Maize (Zea mays).
Upon illumination of dark-grown maize seedlings (5 days old) with incandescent light, there occurred a nearly simultaneous increase, after a certain lag period, in the activities of enzymes engaged in the C(4) pathway and the Calvin-Benson cycle. The light-induced biosynthesis of chlorophyll (a and b) precedes the increase in enzyme activities and proceeds without lag phase. A diphasic feature ...
متن کاملEvaluation of oxidative stress tolerance in maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings in response to drought.
Seedlings of selected six genotypes of maize (Zea mays L.) differing in their drought sensitivity (LM5 and Parkash drought-tolerant and PMH2, JH3459, Paras and LM14 as drought-sensitive) were exposed to 72 h drought stress at two leaf stage. Alterations in their antioxidant pools combined with activities of enzymes involved in defense against oxidative stress were investigated in leaves. Activi...
متن کاملModulation of thiamine metabolism in Zea mays seedlings under conditions of abiotic stress.
The responses of plants to abiotic stress involve the up-regulation of numerous metabolic pathways, including several major routes that engage thiamine diphosphate (TDP)-dependent enzymes. This suggests that the metabolism of thiamine (vitamin B1) and its phosphate esters in plants may be modulated under various stress conditions. In the present study, Zea mays seedlings were used as a model sy...
