Decreased reactive oxygen species concentration in the elongation zone contributes to the reduction in maize leaf growth under salinity
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2004-06)Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the apoplast of cells in the growing zone of grass leaves are required for elongation growth. This work evaluates whether salinity‐induced reductions in leaf elongation are related to altered ... -
Drought induces distinct growth response, protection, and recovery mechanisms in the maize leaf growth zone
(2015-10)Drought is the most important crop yield-limiting factor, and detailed knowledge of its impact on plant growth regulation is crucial. The maize (Zea mays) leaf growth zone offers unique possibilities for studying the ... -
High night temperature during maize post-flowering increases night respiration and reduces photosynthesis, growth and kernel number
(Wiley, 2022-03-15)In the last years globally, daily night-time low temperatures have increased more than twice compared with maximum temperatures. There is little evidence about maize growth and yield responses to high night temperature ... -
Nanofertilizantes no cultivo do milho safrinha
(ABMS Associação Brasileira de Milho e Sorgo, 2023-11-28)Nos últimos anos, novas tecnologias têm surgido como forma de adoção nos sistemas de cultivo de milho safrinha visando aumentos de produtividade de grãos. Neste contexto, destaca-se o uso de novas formulações de fertilizantes, ... -
Reductions in Maize Root-tip Elongation by Salt and Osmotic Stress do not Correlate with Apoplastic O2•− Levels
(Oxford Academic Press, 2008-10)Background and Aims: Experimental evidence in the literature suggests that O2•− produced in the elongation zone of roots and leaves by plasma membrane NADPH oxidase activity is required for growth. This study explores ... -
Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) growth and yield are influenced by establishment methods
(South African National Biodiversity Institute, 2014-06)Six experiments were performed in the term of three years in order to explore and compare the effects of transplanting and direct sowing (DS) on sweet corn (Zea mays L.) growth, earliness and yield. Different genotypes, ...
