PLANT GENETIC RESOURCES Testcross Performance of Semiexotic Inbred Lines Derived from Latin American Maize Accessions

from Oh43 (Darrah and Zuber, 1986). Smith (1988) reported that a small number of lines, including B73, Tropical maize (Zea mays L.) represents the most diverse readily A632, Mo17, and Oh43, were the major contributors to available source of germplasm to broaden the limited genetic base of commercial U.S. maize hybrids. Subsequently, Smith et temperate maize in the USA. One objective of this stu...

The disease is caused by the slow deterioration of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Treatment strategies to protect dopaminergic neurons from progressive damage have received much attention. However there is no effective treatment for PD. Traditional Chines...
