It reveals the effect of copper stress in maize, which will provide certain theory reference for the agricultural production and rational application of trace element copper.
Based on this work, we estimate that screening ~4000 maize plants will provide a comparable series ([4000] [17 mutations] [1.5-kb/1-kb]÷([11-kb] [750 plants]) = ~12 mutations).
Dividing the recombination frequency between flanking markers calculated in step 4a by the physical distance between those markers in the maize genome will provide a rough estimate of recombination rate around your mutation.
As maize genome sequencing nears completion of its first draft, whole genome comparison of maize and rice will provide an unprecedented opportunity to study grass genome function and evolution.
Additional analysis of the full maize genome sequence will provide some insights, but additional information about transposition rates and population dynamics will also be critical for understanding the striking differences among helitrons of different angiosperm species.
In conclusion, this high-throughput scorer will provide maize scientists with a novel tool to assist in maize functional genetics and maize breeding.
The genetic effects of qRPR3-1 associated with maize stalk cell wall components will provide additional phenotypic markers to guide the introgression of favorable alleles at the qRPR3-1 locus.
The exciting next few years of grass genome comparative genomics, with great emphasis on the Oryzae and on maize and its relatives (e.g., sorghum and sugarcane), will provide a framework for the next generation of plant genome analyses.
Moreover, the Web-based application will provide spatial information on the locations of the Bt-maize fields which can be used for modelling cross-pollination of GM maize pollen at field scale, for instance, to check, e.g. whether distance regulations between Bt-maize and conventional maize fields are sufficient or not [28].
The WFP said the emergency aid will provide the flood victims "with an initial ration of 400g of maize per day for 14 days".
