Journal ArticleDOI

Maize endophytic bacteria as mineral phosphate solubilizers.

TL;DR: This is the first report on the characterization of bacterial endophytes from maize and their use as potential biofertilizers and may provide an alternative strategy for improving the phosphorus acquisition efficiency of crop plants in tropical soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic diversity among proso millet (Panicum miliaceum) biotypes assessed by AFLP technique

TL;DR: A tecnica de AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism) foi empregada para acessar a diversidade genetica entre tres biotipos domesticados e nove biOTipos selvagens de proso millet dos Estados Unidos e do Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular analysis of endophytic bacteria from the genus Bacillus isolated from tropical maize (Zea mays L.).

TL;DR: SDS-PAGE technique could be used as a fast and cheap first tool for identifying interspecific variation in maize endophytic bacterial collections while rDNA sequencing could be applied for analyzing intraspecific variation among isolates with similar protein profile as well as for taxonomic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of fumonisin-producing Fusarium species in Brazilian corn grains

TL;DR: The results showed that Fusarium verticillioides is the predominant species associated with corn grains, and other toxigenic species, FUSarium proliferatum, was incidental in Brazilian corn.
