The chemical composition of plant components three maize hybrids harvested at the beginning six reproductive stages maturity was compared. evaluated included Maximus VIP3, Defender VIP and Feroz VIP, which were each following stages: R1 (grain formation), R2 (milky grain), R3 (pasty R4 (floury R5 (hard grain) R6 (ripe grain). advancement in maturation linearly related to crude protein (CP) cont...

The development of molecular markers has contributed to progress in identifying the gene(s) responsible for favorable variations in maize studies. In this study, quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping was conducted using simple sequence repeat markers in an F2 sweet corn population from a cross between parental line 1132 and space flight-induced mutant line 751 to identify the loci contributing...

to evaluate the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) such as azotobacter chroococcum, azospirillum lipoferom and brasilence and pseudomonas fluorescens and nitrogen fertilizer from urea source on yield and yield components of maize (zea mays l.) double cross hybrids (dc 370), a field experiment was carried out in a factorial experiment (5*3) in rcbd with 4 replications. bacter...


 Field experiment was carried out to study the effect of different tillage systems and skipping irrigation at growth stages along with or without foliar applied potassium on phenology, yield maize hybrid. Results revealed that maximum grains per cob (381), 1000-grains weight (281.00 g), grain (7.82 t ha-1) biological (14.78 were observed in conventional system as compared zero tillage. Re...

We compared DNA-based genetic diversity estimates with conventional estimates by investigating agronomically important traits in maize grown in the northwestern region of Pakistan. RAPD markers were used to characterize 10 commonly cultivated maize genotypes. The same material was tested for phenotypic variation of quantitative traits using replicated field trials. The genetic distances between...

Expression of the yeast mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (COB) is controlled by at least 15 nuclear-encoded proteins. One of these proteins, Cbp1, is required for COB mRNA stability. Delta cbp1 null strains fail to accumulate mature COB mRNA and cannot respire. Since Delta cbp1 null strains lack mature COB transcripts, the hypothesis that Cbp1 also plays a role in translation of these mRNAs coul...
