    Major natural genetic variation contributes to waterlogging tolerance in maize seedlings

    Waterlogging significantly restricts growth and production of crops, and natural genetic variation associated with waterlogging tolerance is controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL). Here, two sibling inbre...

    Transgenic maize lines expressing a cry1C* gene are resistant to insect pests

    The lepidopteran Ostrinia furnacalis is one of the most serious pests of maize production. The Cry1C proteins are group of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins that are toxic to the intestine of insects. Overexpr...
