Incubation of mature sweet corn kernels of Zea mays in dilute solutions of (14)C-labeled indole-3-acetic acid leads to the formation of (14)C-labeled esters of myo-inositol, glucose, and glucans. Utilizing this knowledge it was found that an enzyme preparation from immature sweet corn kernels of Zea mays catalyzed the CoA- and ATP-dependent esterification of indole-3-acetic acid to myo-inositol...

In this study, the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (G. mosseae) and endosymbiont (P. indica) colonized Zea mays were treated with calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CaPNPs) and evaluated for their plant growth promotion efficiency. It was observed that CaPNPs in combination with both G. mosseae and P. indica are more potent plant growth promoter than independent combinations of CaPNPs+G. mosseae,...

In order to evaluate influential mechanisms for photosynthetic processes on the yields of an intercropping system composed maize (Zea mays), Lupinus sp. and Melilotus albus, three treatments were designed conducted in southern Moravia (Czech Republic) form agronomy trials. The included sole (SM), with (ML) field melilot (MM). Zea mays monitored using several chlorophyll fluorescence techniques ...

In this study, we examined the relationship between the accumulation of NaHSeO3, the plant hormone (IAA), and some nutrient elements (K(+), Na(+), Ca(2+)) in the tissues of the roots, mesocotyls and leaves of Zea mays L. plants. Our experiments were carried out with eight- to nine-day old maize plants (Zea mays L. var K33xF2) grown on Hoagland's medium containing the standard macro- and microel...

Maize (Zea mays) is one of the most important cereal crops grown principally during raining season in Ethiopia which commonly used for both human consumption and poultry feed. Green house experiment on effect watering frequency germination early growth maize was carried out at Ambo Agricultural Research Center using a hybrid variety (Jibat) from December 1 to January20th, 2018/19. The study con...

Massive morphological changes occurred during the domestication of maize from wild teosinte. Some of the most important shifts are due to altered expression patterns of major regulatory genes.
