Current Status and Future Prospective of Genome Editing Application in Maize
Maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) is the most world-widely cultivated agricultural crop and over the past century, its yield per unit land area has... -
Maize
Brazil has emerged as a leading maize producer only in the past two decades. It is associated with the expansion of soybean production and has also... -
Maize auxin response factor ZmARF1 confers multiple abiotic stresses resistances in transgenic Arabidopsis
Prolonged exposure to abiotic stresses causes oxidative stress, which affects plant development and survival. In this research, the overexpression of ZmARF1...

Biofortification of Maize (Zea mays)
The production and consumption of maize (Zea mays) are the highest for human food as well as animal feed. Maize lacks essential amino acids (lysine,... -
Overexpression of the maize genes ZmSKL1 and ZmSKL2 positively regulates drought stress tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis
Key messageOverexpression in Arabidopsis of the maize shikimate kinase-like genes SKL1 and SKL2 enhances tolerance to drought stress.
