Aerenchyma is continuous gas space between shoot and roots that contributes to the internal aeration in plants. In response to excess water stress and the plant hormone ethylene, maize (Zea mays) form
Zea mays transcriptome profiling of infected seedlings by the Ustilago maydis wildtype and the seedling specific effector mutant demonstrated the variation of gene expression in the mutant and the cla
Ustilago maydis is a basidiomycete fungus that causes smut disease in maize. Most prominent symptoms of the disease are plant tumors, which can be induced by U. maydis on all aerial parts of the plant
RNA-seq was used to analyse gene expression changes and gene complementation in maize hybrids compared to their inbred parents in response to PEG treatment
