Sentence examples for maize plants that from inspiring English sources
We also show that expression in Arabidopsis of the cDNA that encodes the amylase inhibitor AI-1 of the common bean results in the accumulation of active inhibitor in the roots, and the results are discussed with reference to the possibility of using amylase inhibitors as a strategy to genetically engineer maize plants that are resistant to Western corn rootworm larvae.
These results demonstrate the benefit of intensive phenotyping of hydrotropism in primary roots since maize plants that display a robust hydrotropic response grew better under drought and partial lateral irrigation, indicating that a selection for robust hydrotropism might be a promising breeding strategy to improve drought avoidance in maize.
About a third of this production involves cotton and maize plants that have been engineered to produce one or more insecticidal proteins (Cry toxins) from the common soil microbe Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) for control of lepidopteran and coleopteran pests.
Antiserum to VSPβ detected VSPβ only in leaves from young maize plants that had not yet flowered.
We also analysed a further 11 MatMPCPVW+VWMPCPMat derived recombinants arising in MSV-resistant maize plants that were described by van der Walt et al. [ 45].
An important step in breeding maize for higher latitudes involved overriding this environmental control, creating maize plants that flower independently of day length.
GmTMT transgenic maize is a genetically modified maize plant that overexpresses the γ-tocopherol methyltransferase (γ-TMT) from Glycine max (Gm).
In fact, the solution proposed fully converts the high cellulose-fiber parts of the maize plant that were tough to degrade in anaerobic digesters.
The presence of recombination breakpoints within this region in viruses that we isolated from sensitive maize plants implies that there is no biochemical impediment to recombination breakpoints falling in C1/C2 when parental viruses are <95% identical (in all cases here the parental viruses were 89% identical).
In contrast, neonates from susceptible (SS) and heterozygous strains did not survive on MON 89034 × TC1507 × NK603 maize plants, indicating that resistance is functionally recessive.
The results of a bioassay of T1-T4 transgenic maize plants indicated that the transgenic plants were highly toxic to the Asian corn borer and their resistance could be inherited stably from generation to generation.
