To investigate the intron/exon structures of PP genes from maize and rice, we collected useful information from genome annotations of maize and rice from the Maize Genome Sequence Project and TIGR database, respectively.
To identify TF and TC genes in the maize and millet genomes, we collected all protein sequences annotated in the maize and millet genomes to form an initial set of protein sequences.
To reduce the risk of cross-contamination between households, we collected maize samples using tools that were present at the household.
We collected maize samples from markets located in the four districts where 87% of the aflatoxicosis case-patients resided (Makueni, Kitui, Machakos, and Thika).
Eleven of the 705 households had maize from two different sources; therefore, we collected a total of 716 maize samples.
We collected 175 maize transcripts with NAC domains.
We collected the maize sample with the highest aflatoxin level (48,000 ppb—2,400 times the regulatory limit for human consumption) in 2005, and the sample with the second highest level (24,400 ppb) in 2006.
The YABBY family is important in determining the abaxial cell fate in lateral organs in Arabidopsis and lateral organ outgrowth in maize, and it is highly enriched in the maize ear and embryonic leaf data we collected [ 43, 44].
Here, we describe experiments in which we collected X-ray scattering from maize at intermediate-angles in order to bridge the resolution gap and investigate the possibility of structural features intermediate in length scale.
We collected samples from case households if they had maize in storage from the month before individuals developed aflatoxicosis (median date of symptom onset, 20 May 2004).
