    Natural polymorphism of ZmICE1 contributes to amino acid metabolism that impacts cold tolerance in maize

    Cold stress negatively affects maize (Zea mays L.) growth, development and yield. Metabolic adjustments contribute to the adaptation of maize under cold stress. We show here that the transcription factor INDUCER ...

    LaCl3 treatment improves Agrobacterium-mediated immature embryo genetic transformation frequency of maize

    We report an optimized transformation system that uses a LaCl3 pretreatment (a Ca2+ channel blocker) for enhancing Agrobacterium-mediated infection of immature embryos and improving the genetic transformation fre...

    Natural variation of an EF-hand Ca2+-binding-protein coding gene confers saline-alkaline tolerance in maize

    Sodium (Na+) toxicity is one of the major damages imposed on crops by saline-alkaline stress. Here we show that natural maize inbred lines display substantial variations in shoot Na+ contents and saline-alkaline ...
