Sentence examples for maize that controls from inspiring English sources

The best studied case is the single locus tb1 (teosinte branched 1) of maize that controls multiple traits (Doebley et al., 1997).

The p1 gene in maize encodes a transcription factor that controls phlobaphene pigment accumulation in floral tissues.

Other candidate genes could be mentioned such as the trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (TPP) that controls inflorescence architecture in maize through sugar signal modification [ 61] and its direct product, the disaccharide trehalose, has a marked effect on flowering transition [ 62].

F2 eggs from each BrookS X HopR family were partitioned randomly into treatment (reared on Cry3Bb1-expressing maize) and control groups (reared on a genetic near isoline maize that lacks the Cry3Bb1 transgene) and placed accordingly on germinated seedling mats.

In the ears and silks of maize, some genomic regions that control the levels of abscisic acid (ABA) and sugar showed the signal transduction involved in stress-related pathways and regulated kernel size and productivity of the plant under drought [ 6].

Second, a mutation introduced in different genetic backgrounds can reveal epistatic effects of the background that range from complete suppression to enhancement of the mutant phenotype, as evidenced in Drosophila for several mutations in homeotic genes (reviewed in [ 10]) but also in maize for the tb1 mutation that control branching during early development [ 71, 72].

Significant QTLs that control endoreduplication in maize endosperm through genome-genome interactions were detected, and their chromosomal positions and origin-of-parent effects were estimated and tested.

The new strategy presented was applied to study the mode of inheritance for QTLs that control endoreduplication traits in maize endosperm.

The strong associations of ZmVTE4 SNPs with αT (the product of γTMT) are in agreement with results from a GWAS conducted by Li et al. (2012) to identify genetic variants that control tocopherol content in maize grain.

Other candidate genes with a well-known function in maize include abph1 that controls leaf arrangement (Jackson and Hake 1999) and sh1 that encodes the production of sucrose synthase (Sheldon et al. 1983).

Control plants were treated with 0 μM MV (water) using the same method, and brassica and maize control plants received 0 μM MV (water) plus Silwet L-77 (0.025%).
