One of the steps to reconstruct the 3-D geometry of biological objects from a stack of 2-D microscopic images, is to align the individual slices with respect to each other. Due to complex internal structures and imaging artifacts, automatic methods do not always lead to reliable results. Visual feedback consisting of sagittal and coronal cross-sections is very useful to validate the alignment r...

A new allele of the 27-kD zein locus in maize has been generated by interchromosomal recombination between chromosomes of two different inbred lines. A continuous patch of at least 11,817 bp of inbred W64A, containing the previously characterized Ra allele of the 27-kD zein gene, has been inserted into the genome of A188 by a single crossover. While both junction sequences are conserved, sequen...

This study aims to evaluate the TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and soil type effect on Zea mays L. seedlings assess of NPs retained in organic matter terrestrial isopods (Armadillidium vulgare, Latreille). It was hypothesized that (i) combined pH minerals, addition harm maize plants, (ii) increasing Ti’s content (OM) causes mortality isopods. Under greenhouse conditions, effects (300 600 mg kg?1 dry ...

Phytoremediation is a viable strategy to remove trace metal contaminants from sewage sludge but still poorly investigated. The aim of this study was quantify the removal B. napus, juncea, H. annuus, Z. mays grown on pure sludge. Each species six different for 8 weeks and were analysed content physico-chemical characteristics. Our results confirmed that all tested supported plant growth. showed ...

A survey of plant parasitic nematodes associated with Zea mays in Kashmir valley was conducted from June 2006 to November 2006 which yielded a number of Tylenchids. Among them, the species Tylenchorhynchus zeae Sethi and G. Swarp, 1968, Pratylenchus sativus kaul, 1985, Aphelenchoides srinagrensisKaul, 1985 are reported herein, with dimensions. The parasites are being recorded for the first time...

Abstract Zea mays L. is the main multipurpose plant for feed energy, food and highly a susceptible environmental stresses to agricultural biotechnology. The triggers factor in limited Z. yield. Recently, it was obtain crop yields be significan reduced, stray due also biotic stresses. Moreover, confirm security of live cells under non-adverse shapes, polyamine compound regulate most important ro...

We measured sequence diversity in 21 loci distributed along chromosome 1 of maize (Zea mays ssp. mays L.). For each locus, we sequenced a common sample of 25 individuals representing 16 exotic landraces and nine U.S. inbred lines. The data indicated that maize has an average of one single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) every 104 bp between two randomly sampled sequences, a level of diversity hig...

Lipoxygenase from the germ of corn, Zea mays, oxidized linoleic acid to primarily 9-D-hydroperoxy-trans-lO,cis-12octadecadienoic acid.

Zea mays var. amylacea and indurata are maize ecotypes from Paraguay. Aspergillus section Flavi is the main spoilage fungus of under storage conditions. Due to its large intraspecific genetic variability, accurate identification this fungal taxonomic group difficult. In present study, potential mycotoxigenic strains isolated Z. that marketed in metropolitan region Asunción were identified by a ...
