Plant factors controlling seed set in maize : the influence of silk, pollen, and ear-leaf water status and tassel heat treatment at pollination.
In maize (Zea mays L.) large decreases in kernel number result when low water potentials (Psi(w)) and high temperatures occur during pollination. To gain insight into the basis for the decreased seed set, silk, pollen, and ear-leaf Psi(w), the capability for silk osmotic adjustment, and pollen appearance were measured to determine their relationship to seed set. A multiple-eared or prolific (hi...
متن کاملClimatic factors controlling plant sensitivity to warming
Plant sensitivity to warming can be expressed as β or the number of days of advance in leafing or flowering events per 1 °C of Mean Annual Temperature (MAT) change. Many local studies demonstrate that β estimates for spring flowering species are usually larger than estimates for plants flowering in summer or fall. Until now, however, neither observational nor experimental estimates of this para...
متن کاملThe Maize Seed Anatomy of the Mature Maize Seed
The pericarp consist in the transformed wall of the ovary that covers the seed and acts as a protection for the embryo and endosperm. It takes the place of the seed coats or integuments in the ordinary seeds, which in maize are reduced to unnoticeable remnants in the mature kernel. A thin, suberized nucellar membrane derived from the outer epidermal wall of the nucellus persists as a continuous...
متن کاملFast-Flowering Mini-Maize: Seed to Seed in 60 Days.
Two lines of Zea mays were developed as a short-generation model for maize. The Fast-Flowering Mini-Maize (FFMM) lines A and B are robust inbred lines with a significantly shorter generation time, much smaller stature, and better greenhouse adaptation than traditional maize varieties. Five generations a year are typical. FFMM is the result of a modified double-cross hybrid between four fast-flo...
متن کاملFungicides and Essential Oils for Controlling Maize Seed-Borne Fusarium moniliforme and its Transmission into Seedlings
Seed borne diseases are important constraints to maize production. Investigations were carried out to identify fungal infection of maize seed and determine its effect on seed germination. Studies on the effects of fungicides and essential oils from aromatic plants on the level of seed-borne F. moniliforme and its seed to seedling transmission were also part of the work. Blotter method was used ...
