Maize (Zea mays) requires substantial amounts of nitrogen, posing a challenge for its cultivation. Recent work discovered that some ancient Mexican maize landraces harbored diazotrophic bacteria in mucilage secreted by their aerial roots. To see if this trait is retained modern maize, we conducted field study root (ARM) 258 inbred lines. We observed ARM secretion common but the amount significantly varies, and only few lines have nitrogen-fixing traits found landraces. The high-ARM line...
