Why are corn (Zea mays) radicles more sensitive to pathogens than seminal roots?

I observed a huge population of these organisms aggregating in the roots of maize plants while searching for mycorrhizal colonization. Can anyone suggest what these organisms are?

Traditional maize (zea mays) has evolved from teosinte (Zea Mexicana). Maize grains can synthesize and store lipids. Can teosinte grains do so?

I want to compare the barrier mechanism of si-mediated rice against p. Oryzae.with different varieties and how they react with this disease . but im not sure with one are most resistance. 

Hello! Does anyone have knowledge of publicly available research discussing the intrinsic growth rate of Spodoptera frugiperda maize? This seems basic ecological information that should be easily obtainable, yet I have not been able to locate it. Thanks to anyone for pointers!

I'm studying tobacco BY-2 cell lines, and now i need to find some cell lines like them for zea mays; do yuo think they are available. If not, what do you suggest something like prepared callus,etc?

Thank you,

Hi All,

I have some compounds and I'd like to examine how they effect the expression of nitrogen transporters in maize (corn) roots.  My plan is to grow corn in a defined media (i.e. Yoshida's) in varying amounts of nitrogen in the presence/absence of the compounds.  The roots will be harvested, following RT-qPCR.

Can anyone direct me to information/advice (i.e. papers, reviews, assays, etc.) pertaining to nitrogen uptake via transporters in maize?  It'd be even better if I could get my hands on some published qPCR primers(!).  A basic literature search thus far, has suggested different types of transporters (i.e. AMTs, TIPS,) but I'd like to get more of them.  I figure there's folks here who are experts in this kind of stuff.

This is a very new subject to me, so anything will be helpful!

Best,

Christian 

I need some information about corn (zea mays) cell lines. How do they grow? Are they fast growing cells? How often they need sub-culturing, etc?
