SUMMARY Carotenoids perform a broad range of important functions in humans; therefore, carotenoid biofortification maize ( Zea mays L.), one the most highly produced cereal crops worldwide, would have global impact on human health. PLASTID TERMINAL OXIDASE PTOX ) genes play an role metabolism; however, possible function biosynthesis has not yet been explored. In this study, we characterized locus by forward‐ and reverse‐genetic analyses. While higher plant species possess single copy gene,...
High temperatures significantly impair plant growth and development by restricting maize grain filling; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying heat stress remain poorly understood. In this study, 350 inbred lines were evaluated under field conditions, leading to identification of heat-tolerant Zheng58 heat-sensitive Qi319. The two exposed controlled conditions 30°C/20°C (optimal) 42°C/30°C (heat stress) during filling period. Heat reduced thousand-kernel weight seed setting rates, with...
The photosynthetic system of maize (Zea mays) leaves is sensitive to low temperatures and suffers from irreversible damage induced by cold exposure, making stress a major factor limiting yield. Identifying genes that improve the recovery photosynthesis in will help enhance tolerance this crop ensure stable yields. Here, we demonstrate role starch phosphorylase 2 (ZmPHOH) promoting damage. Chlorotic leaf3 (chl3), null mutant ZmPHOH, which undergoes chlorophyll degradation chlorosis earlier...
Maize is a significant food and feed product, abiotic stress significantly impacts its growth development.
Abstract Ribosomes play a crucial role in protein biosynthesis and are linked to plant growth development. The RimM has been shown involved the maturation of 30S ribosomal subunits, but its exact function plants is still unknown. In this study, we discovered maize mutant with white green striate leaves ( wgsl1 ) reduced chlorophyll content. Genetic analysis showed that mutation was recessive controlled by single nuclear gene. Map-based cloning ZmWGSL1 identified base substitution (G A)...
