Developmental genetics of maize vegetative shoot architecture …
Feb 22, 2021 · Structure of the maize shoot is integral to all aspects of productivity and modern agronomic practices: row cropping, light interception, photosynthetic capacity, planting density, canopy shape, synchronized flowering, yield, and mechanized harvestability (Crosbie 1982; Troyer 1996; Tuberosa and Salvi 2009; Duvick 2005; Wang et al. 2018a).
The Maize Shoot - SpringerLink
The maize shoot is a determinate structure. During its growth, it produces a limited number of structures in a regular and highly predictable pattern. Although the morphology of the shoot plays a major role in the productivity of maize and has been...
A regulatory network controlling developmental boundaries and …
1 day ago · Maize transcription factor TASSELSHEATH4 establishes the leaf versus meristem cell boundary and vegetative versus floral axillary meristem fates as part of a domestication gene network.
Root to shoot and carbon to nitrogen ratios of maize and soybean crops ...
Oct 1, 2020 · Here, we explored several root traits as well as compound root and shoot traits in maize and soybean crops across a wide range of environmental conditions in the Midwest U.S. Corn Belt. Our objectives were to use a standardized sampling protocol across environments to:
Enhancing maize yield through understanding the novel shoot …
Oct 15, 2023 · Although there is a growing body of the individual research on shoot or root on maize, much less is known about the shoot-root interaction in morphology for current widely used maize hybrids, especially with density change. We propose a hypothesis that the interaction of shoot-root with density change is quietly different among hybrids (Fig. 1 ...
Examining the contributions of maize shoots, roots, and manure …
Nov 1, 2022 · Continuous inputs of organic matter are vital for sustaining soil organic carbon (SOC) and productivity of soils in smallholder crop-livestock systems. However, the dynamics of the different inputs i.e. maize shoots, roots and manure used are poorly understood.
Genome-wide dissection of changes in maize root system
Nov 17, 2022 · The root-related changes in maize domestication, improvement and modern breeding were systematically investigated, and candidate genes related to maize root system architecture were identified...
Root growth, root senescence and root system architecture in maize ...
Oct 19, 2023 · A soil volume centered the maize root of 24 cm × 60 cm × 30 cm (distance between intra-row × distance between inter-row × depth) was excavated using a shovel after cutting off the shoots. The soil volume was put into a pool and immersed in water for 12 h, then the roots were cleaned manually.
Integrated phenotyping of root and shoot growth dynamics in maize …
Aug 31, 2023 · The system facilitated the analysis of shoot phenotypes of diverse plant species such as maize (Muraya et al., 2017; Dodig et al., 2021) and rapeseed (Knoch et al., 2020). Increasing recognition of the importance of root system adaptation prompted us to extend our established shoot phenotyping platform for large plants with root phenotyping ...
Full article: An efficient and rapid regeneration via multiple shoot ...
Jul 29, 2013 · An efficient method for in vitro micro propagation and genetic transformation of plants are crucial for both basic and applied research. Maize is one of the most important cereal crops around the world. Regeneration from immature embryo is hampered due to its unavailability round the year.
