Substrate (futile) cycling involving carbohydrate turnover has been widely reported in plant tissues, although its extent, mechanisms, and functions are not well known. In this study, two complementary approaches, short and steady-state labeling experiments, were used to analyze glucose metabolism in maize (Zea mays) root tips. Unidirectional rates of synthesis for storage compounds (starch, Su...

maize (zea mays l.) is one of the most important crops that used for food, feeding and industrial products and in iran a developing cultivation. in order to study of corn s reactions (hybrid bc666) to supply nutrients to organic nutrition (bacteria and manure) as summer sown in climate conditions of lorestan. an experiment was conduct in meteorology station of lorestan s agriculture research fi...

One of the major quantitative trait loci for flowering time in maize, the Vegetative to generative transition 1 (Vgt1) locus, corresponds to an upstream (70 kb) noncoding regulatory element of ZmRap2.7, a repressor of flowering. At Vgt1, a miniature transposon (MITE) insertion into a conserved noncoding sequence was previously found to be highly associated with early flowering in independent st...

 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...

Maize (corn) is one of the most widely grown cereal crops globally. Fungal diseases of maize cause significant economic damage by reducing maize yields and by increasing input costs for disease management. The most sustainable control of maize diseases is through the release and planting of maize cultivars with durable disease resistance. The wheat gene Lr34 provides durable and partial field r...

Detasseling is the operation that consists of removing the tassels of the female plants prior to silk emergence CERES-Maize, which was designed for simulation of hybrid maize and pollen shed to prevent self-pollination. During this (Zea mays L.), cannot be applied directly to seed-producing inbred maize because of specific field operations and physiological traits of operation, several leaves a...

PURPOSE Tumor-specific replication-selective oncolytic virotherapy is a promising antitumor therapy for induction of cell death in tumor cells but not of normal cells. We previously developed an oncolytic adenovirus, OBP-301, that kills human epithelial malignant cells in a telomerase-dependent manner. Recent evidence suggests that nonepithelial malignant cells, which have low telomerase activi...
