The kernel serves as a storage organ for various nutrients and determines the yield and quality of maize. Understanding the mechanisms regulating kernel development is important for maize production.
Maize kernel culture. Kernels were prepared by hand excision of the center one-third of 3 DAP ears (A), and removal of kernels and a small portion of cob tissue (B), maintaining sufficient cob tissue
Maize kernels are the largest cereal grains, and their endosperm is severely oxygen deficient throughout grain fill. The causes of this hypoxia are unknown and so too are how low-oxygen signals are in
Heat map of correlation coefficients between Tre6P levels and gene expression. Coefficients of correlation were determined for control kernels continuously fed sucrose, and kernels starved for 48Â h u
