Journal ArticleDOI
Can Changes in Canopy and/or Root System Architecture Explain Historical Maize Yield Trends in the U.S. Corn Belt?
Graeme Hammer,Zhanshan Dong,Greg McLean,A. Doherty,Carlos D. Messina,Jeff Schussler,Chris Zinselmeier,Steve Paszkiewicz,Mark E. Cooper +8 more
TL;DR: The analysis indicated that change in root system architecture and water capture had a direct effect on biomass accumulation and historical yield trends; and change in canopy architecture had little direct effect but likely had important indirect effects via leaf area retention and partitioning of carbohydrate to the ear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low Water Potential Disrupts Carbohydrate Metabolism in Maize (Zea mays L.) Ovaries.
TL;DR: The results indicate that water deficits during pollination disrupt carbohydrate metabolism in maize ovaries and suggest that acid invertase activity is important for establishing and maintaining reproductive sink strength duringpollination and early kernel development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytokinin Oxidase Gene Expression in Maize Is Localized to the Vasculature, and Is Induced by Cytokinins, Abscisic Acid, and Abiotic Stress
Norbert Brugière,Shuping Jiao,Sabine Hantke,Chris Zinselmeier,Jeffrey Roessler,Xiaomu Niu,Robert J. Jones,Jeffrey E. Habben +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that under environmental stress conditions, cytokinin oxidase gene induction by abscisic acid results in aberrant degradation of cytokinins therefore impairing normal development, and it is hypothesize that under non-stress conditions, CytokinIn oxidase in maize plays a role in controlling growth and development via regulation of cytkinin levels transiting in the xylem.

Journal ArticleDOI
The use of gene expression profiling to dissect the stress sensitivity of reproductive development in maize
TL;DR: It is concluded that flowering remains a susceptible developmental period to abiotic stress in elite maize hybrids and yield losses are associated with abnormal floral development and impaired ear growth.
