Sentence examples for maize lines that from inspiring English sources

This new tool can be used to select maize lines that are less likely to promote endosperm carotenoid degradation, thus predicting optimal results in metabolic engineering of endosperm provitamin A and/or nonprovitamin A carotenoids.

Since the 1970s, IITA has had a maize breeding program to develop tropical maize lines that are high-yielding and adapted to growing conditions across Africa.

Genotypes carrying functional p1 or p2 alone accumulate less amount of maysin than maize lines that have both p1 and p2 genes [ 51].

We evaluated an association panel of 281 diverse maize lines that captures a significant fraction of the common alleles present in temperate and tropical public maize breeding programs around the world (Flint-Garcia et al. 2005).

Thus, we may expect that a large proportion of modern maize lines that range from Al sensitive to intermediate in Al tolerance could be improved for Al tolerance via marker-assisted introgression of this genomic region.

The coding region of ZmIPT2 was sequenced across a panel of 175 maize inbred lines that are currently used in Chinese maize breeding programs.

All the previous three studies, however, included some of the maize inbred lines that were either developed by the CIMMYT maize breeding programs in eastern and southern Africa or widely used CIMMYT Maize Lines (CMLs) in the region.

The USDA-ARS North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station (NCRPIS) located in Ames, IA maintains a large and diverse collection of maize inbred lines that represents a century of public and private maize breeding efforts in the United States and from across the globe [ 26].

In particular, our analysis identified a number of superior genotypes of maize inbred lines that have carotenoid levels of relevance to provitamin A level enhancement that exceed previously obtained levels within IITA's breeding program.

The patterns of gene expression altered obviously in cross-fertilized kernel as compared to self-fertilized kernel, both qualitatively and quantitatively [ 36], largely due to cis-transcriptional variations in maize inbred lines that lead to additive expression patterns in the F1 hybrids [ 37].

Cis-/ trans-ASE tests using hybrids of inbred maize lines found that cis-acting regulatory variation accounted for the majority of the observed parental expression divergence and that cis-variation correlated with additive expression patterns in the F1 hybrid (Guo et al. 2004; Stupar and Springer 2006).
