The shoot apical meristem of angiosperm plants generates leaf, stem and floral structures
throughout the plant's lifetime. To do this, the plant must maintain a population of stem cells …

Circadian clocks are endogenous timers that enable plants to synchronize biological
processes with daily and seasonal environmental conditions in order to allocate resources …

Research in the past decade has demonstrated that a single reference genome is not
representative of a species' diversity. MaizeGDB introduces a pan-genomic approach to …

Complete and accurate reference genomes and annotations provide fundamental tools for
characterization of genetic and functional variation. These resources facilitate the …

Since its 2015 update, MaizeGDB, the Maize Genetics and Genomics database, has
expanded to support the sequenced genomes of many maize inbred lines in addition to the …

Association map** through linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis is a powerful tool for the
dissection of complex agronomic traits and for the identification of alleles that can contribute …

Globally, climate change could hinder future food security that concurrently implies the
importance of investigating drought stress and genotype screening under stressed …

Salinity is one of the most devastating environmental factors limiting crop productivity
worldwide. Therefore, our study investigates the effect of seed priming with zinc oxide …

The effects of gamma radiation are investigated by studying plant germination, growth and
development, and biochemical characteristics of maize. Maize dry seeds are exposed to a …

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent in the environment and
have been detected in a variety of plants such as vegetables, cereals, and fruits. Increasing …
