Characterization, fine map** and expression profiling of Ragged leaves1 in maize
The Ragged leaves1 (Rg1) maize mutant frequently develops lesions on leaves, leaf sheaths, and ear bracts. Lesion formation is independent of biotic stress. High-level accumulation of H2O2 revealed by staining Rg...

Fine map** of quantitative trait loci for acid phosphatase activity in maize leaf under low phosphorus stress
Acid phosphatase (APase) is very important in phosphorus (P) scavenging and remobilization in plants. The aim of this study was the fine map** of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for APase activity (APA) in mai...

Identification of QTL for acid phosphatase activity in root and rhizosphere soil of maize under low phosphorus stress
To provide theoretical and applied references for acid phosphatase (APase) activity of maize, this study was to identify quantitative trait locus (QTL) for APase activity in root and rhizosphere soil of maize ...

Identification and characterization of paternal-preferentially expressed gene NF-YC8 in maize endosperm
Gene imprinting describes an epigenetic phenomenon, whereby genetically identical alleles are differentially expressed dependent on parent-of-origin. Some imprinted genes belonged to NUCLEAR FACTOR Y (NF-Y) tr...

A splice site mutation in shrunken1-m causes the shrunken 1 mutant phenotype in maize
Endosperm development plays an important role in the determination of grain weight in maize. In this context, a spontaneous recessive shrunken kernel mutant, shrunken1-m (sh1-m), identified from improved maize in...

Characterization, fine map** and candidate gene analysis of novel, dominant, nuclear male-sterile gene Ms53 in maize
To better understand the molecular mechanism of stamen formation in maize, we used chemical agent ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) to treat B73 pollens and obtained a Ms53 mutant with no pollen shedding from maize an...

Molecular and Functional Characterization of ZmNF-YC14 in Transgenic Arabidopsis
The optimum transition stage from vegetative to reproductive development is important for flowering plants to obtain the desired plant architecture to maximize yield. In this study, we overexpressed the maize ...

ZmAPRG, an uncharacterized gene, enhances acid phosphatase activity and Pi concentration in maize leaf during phosphate starvation
An uncharacterized gene, ZmAPRG, isolated by map-based cloning, enhances acid phosphatase activity and phosphate concentration in maize leaf during phosphate starvation.

Overexpression of ZmNF-YC14 confers plant ER stress tolerance and ABA sensitivity in Arabidopsis
The correct folding of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is vital for plant adaptation to adverse environmental conditions. The genes related to the ER stress response in maize are far from clear. In ...

QTL identification in backcross population for brace-root-related traits in maize
The brace-root is a crucial part of the whole root system in maize and plays an important role in the maintenance of lodging resistance. In this study, a BC2F1 population with three replicates, derived from the c...

Overexpression of ZmNF-YC13 Confers ER Stress Tolerance in Maize
Excessive accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) can trigger ER stress. Although regulation of this stress response in plants is an important and effectiv...
