Enhancing maize's nitrogen-fixing potential through ZmSBT3, a …
Maize (Zea mays) requires substantial amounts of nitrogen, posing a challenge for its cultivation. Recent work discovered that some ancient Mexican maize landraces harbored diazotrophic bacteria in mucilage secreted by their aerial roots.
Mucilage Polysaccharide Composition and Exudation in Maize …
Dec 7, 2020 · Maize (Zea mays L.) exudes mucilage both from its nodal and underground roots. Maize nodal root mucilage has very similar properties to its underground root mucilage (Chaboud, 1983; Osborn et al., 1999).
Enhancing maize's nitrogen‐fixing potential through ZmSBT3, a …
Nov 6, 2023 · Maize (Zea mays) requires substantial amounts of nitrogen, posing a challenge for its cultivation. Recent work discovered that some ancient Mexican maize landraces harbored diazotrophic bacteria in mucilage secreted by their aerial roots.
Physico-chemical properties of maize (Zea mays L.) mucilage …
Aug 16, 2022 · Mucilage of maize genotype B73 was collected from systems CSA and CSB. Chemical composition was assessed by pH, nutrient contents, neutral sugar composition, and polysaccharide polymer length. Viscosity, surface tension and …
Nitrogen fixation and mucilage production on maize aerial roots …
Oct 5, 2022 · Our results demonstrate nitrogen fixation and the abundance of border cells within the aerial root mucilage produced by maize accessions. We observed direct mucilage secretion from border cells detaching from the root cap and variation in border cell production and shape between developmental stages and genotypes.
Nitrogen fixation in a landrace of maize is supported by a mucilage ...
Aug 7, 2018 · We studied an indigenous landrace of maize grown in nitrogen-depleted soils in the Sierra Mixe region of Oaxaca, Mexico. This landrace is characterized by the extensive development of aerial roots that secrete a carbohydrate-rich mucilage.
Mucilage Polysaccharide Composition and Exudation in Maize …
Dec 8, 2020 · In this study, eight maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes from different globally distributed agroecological zones were grown under identical abiotic conditions in a randomized field experiment....
Mucilage Polysaccharide Composition and Exudation in Maize …
Dec 8, 2020 · In this study, eight maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes from different globally distributed agroecological zones were grown under identical abiotic conditions in a randomized field experiment. Mucilage exudation amount, neutral sugars and uronic acids were quantified.
Mucilage plays crucial roles in root-soil interactions. Collection systems for maize (Zea mays. L.) use primary and seminal roots of aeroponically-grown seedlings (CSA), or brace roots of soil-grown plants (CSB).
