Root microbiomes contain microbes that help plants survive times of stress and may potentially improve crop yields in ...

Maize (corn) is one of the most important staple crops in the world and has been extensively studied. Yet, many aspects of the genetic mechanisms regulating its growth and development remain ...

After over five years of research, the Agriculture Research and Development Centre in Wengkhar has successfully produced ...

Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Co. plans to build a new $80-million plastics plant in Maize that will create 50 new full-time jobs. The site (rendering above) totals 80 acres between 119th and 153rd ...

Plants produce an astonishing variety of chemical substances. Most of these metabolites are involved in chemical ...

Maize Plant Genetics Shape Root Microorganism Communities An international team of researchers discovers how microbes boost root growth.

But resurrection plants "seem to come back to the form that they had before the drought," he says. "If we can create maize that does that, that's fantastic, because we can regain that productivity." ...

However, some plants exhibit tolerance to heavy metal contamination, offering potential interventions to improve farming. Klaus Schläppi and his team found that benzoxazinoid metabolites produced by ...

As maize plants grow, their roots release chemicals known as benzoxazinoids. Deposited into the soil, these chemicals in turn affect what types of beneficial bacteria and fungi thrive there.

Charlotte Pipe and Foundry's Chad Griffin, Terry Moege and Jenner Wood stand on the property in Maize where the company's plant will be built.

Cytokinins are a class of plant hormones that play a crucial role in regulating various aspects of plant growth and development, including cell division, shoot and root development, and leaf ...
