Background: The phyllosphere hosts a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, which can play a positive role in the success of the host plant. Bacterial communities in the phylloplane are influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors, including host plant surface topography and chemistry, which change in concert with microbial communities as the plant leaves develop and age. Methods: We e...

In Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, at the Crop Research Farm of Naini Agriculture Institute Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology, and Sciences, Department Agronomy, during Kharif season 2022, field experiment titled "Response zinc nano urea on growth yield maize (Zea mays L.)" was carried out. The results showed that application Zinc 30 kg/ha + Nano 4 ml/l considerably increased parame...

The European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a major pest of corn, Zea mays L., in North America, Europe and Asia. Before the introduction of transgenic Bt corn targeting lepidopteran pests, the European corn borer was responsible for over $1 billion in damage and control measures annually in the U.S. alone (Mason et al. 1996). Management of this insect historically ...

The effect of centrifugal force and length of centrifugation time on the sedimentation of plant organelles was determined for corn (Zea mays L.) root homogenates. A centrifugal force of 6000g for at least 20 minutes was necessary to pellet 90% of the mitochondrial marker (cytochrome c oxidase). This initial centrifugation step is optimal for separating mitochondria from microsomes, since cross-...

the european corn borer, ostrinia nubilalis (hübner), is an important insect pest of corn, zea mays l., crop in moghan region. in field experiments, the density of eggs and larvae of o.nubilalis and percentage of eggs and larvae parasitisms were studied on four corn hybrids ns704 (commercial cultivar), ns770, ns640 and mv524 (cultivars with high yield). furthermore, in this study, the predators...

Recently, substances possessing antioxidant can prevent cataractogenesis of diabetic cataract. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine the anticataract effect of Zea mays L. (purple waxy corn), a flavonoids rich plant, in experimental diabetic cataract. Enucleated rat lenses were incubated in artificial aqueous humor containing 55 mM glucose with various concentrations of Zea mays L....
