A multigenotype maize silk expression atlas reveals how exposure‐related stresses are mitigated following emergence from husk leaves Abstract The extraordinarily long stigmatic silks of corn (Zea mays L.) are critical for grain production but the biology of their growth and emergence from husk leaves has remained underexplored. Accordingly, gene expression was assayed for inbreds ‘B73’ and ‘Mo17’ across five contiguous silk sections. Half of the maize genes (∼20,000) are expressed in silks, mostly in spatiotemporally dynamic patterns.

Raizada * Department of Plant Agriculture, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON N1G 2W1, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-519-824-4120 (ext. 53396) Received: 19 August 2018; Accepted: 6 October 2018; Published: 11 October 2018 Abstract: Silks are the long threads at the tips of maize ears onto which pollen land and sperm nuclei travel long distances to fertilize egg cells, giving rise to embryos and seeds; however fungal pathogens also use this route to invade developing grain, causing damaging ear rots with dangerous mycotoxins. This review highlights the importance of silks as the direct highways by which globally important fungal pathogens enter maize kernels. First, the most important silk-entering fungal pathogens in maize are reviewed, including Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium verticillioides, and Aspergillus flavus, and their mycotoxins. Next, we compare the different modes used by each fungal pathogen to invade the silks, including susceptible time intervals and the effects of pollination. Innate silk defences and current strategies to protect silks from ear rot pathogens are reviewed, and future protective strategies and silk-based research are proposed. There is a particular gap in knowledge of how to improve silk health and defences around the time of pollination, and a need for protective silk sprays or other technologies. It is hoped that this review will stimulate innovations in breeding, inputs, and techniques to help growers protect silks, which are expected to become more vulnerable to pathogens due to climate change.

    Vegetative Reproduction of Trifolium Stoloniferum Stolons

    Vegetative Reproduction of Trifolium stoloniferum Stolons Author: Penny Sparks Project Advisor: David Barker Trifolium stoloniferum (Running Buffalo Clover) is a stoloniferous, perennial legume that is native to Southern Ohio, KY, WV, and IN. It is a federal endangered species. Little is known about its reproductive and growth rates both in the greenhouse as well as in its natural habitat. Plants in the greenhouse produced long stolons but it was not known if these could be used to propagate new plants. The objectives of this research was to determine i) if T. stoloniferum stolons could be clipped and grown to form a daughter plant and ii) to determine if stolon size affected shoot or root production. Plants were grown from germplasm from the USDA-GRIN collection. Accession 631732 of T. stoloniferum was selected and stolons were randomly cut from mature plants in 1, 3, and 8 node pieces. These stolon pieces were planted in soil-less media 5 cm deep in the Kottman Greenhouse and grown for two weeks in full sun with watering as needed and no added fertilizer. At the end of the study, nodes were examined for new shoot and root growth and the amounts were recorded. All three node sizes had a similar success rate of new overall growth, with 90% of nodes producing shoots or roots. The 1- and 3-node stolon pieces had 2.20 and 1.85 shoots per node respectively and 2.50 and 1.61 shoots per node respectively. The 8-node stolon pieces had the majority of their shoot and root growth on the terminal end of the stolon piece.

  • Plant Reproduction

    Plant Reproduction

    AccessScience from McGraw-Hill Education Page 1 of 10 www.accessscience.com Plant reproduction Contributed by: Scott D. Russell Publication year: 2014 The formation of a new plant that is either an exact copy or recombination of the genetic makeup of its parents. There are three types of plant reproduction considered here: (1) vegetative reproduction, in which a vegetative organ forms a clone of the parent; (2) asexual reproduction, in which reproductive components undergo a nonsexual form of production of offspring without genetic rearrangement, also known as apomixis; and (3) sexual reproduction, in which meiosis (reduction division) leads to formation of male and female gametes that combine through syngamy (union of gametes) to produce offspring. See also: PLANT; PLANT PHYSIOLOGY. Vegetative reproduction Unlike animals, plants may be readily stimulated to produce identical copies of themselves through cloning. In animals, only a few cells, which are regarded as stem cells, are capable of generating cell lineages, organs, or new organisms. In contrast, plants generate or produce stem cells from many plant cells of the root, stem, or leaf that are not part of an obvious generative lineage—a characteristic that has been known as totipotency, or the general ability of a single cell to regenerate a whole new plant. This ability to establish new plants from one or more cells is the foundation of plant biotechnology. In biotechnology, a single cell may be used to regenerate new organisms that may or may not genetically differ from the original organism. If it is identical to the parent, it is a clone; however, if this plant has been altered through molecular biology, it is known as a genetically modified organism (GMO).

    Cornsilk As an Alternate Functional Ingredient Wan Rosli Wan Ishak & Nurhanan Abdul Rahman

    13 Cornsilk as an Alternate Functional Ingredient Wan Rosli Wan Ishak & Nurhanan Abdul Rahman INTRODUCTION Corn trees have been cultivated about 5000 years ago and it is known to be derived from a wild grass native to Mexico and Central America (Dermastia et al., 2009). The name ‘Zea’ comes from the Greek word which means cereal or grain and the word ‘mays’ is adopted from a Spanish voyager named Columbus, who collected the grain and brought it over to Europe from America (Desjardins & McCarthy, 2004; Eckhoff et al., 2009). Since its domestication, corn plant spreads rapidly around the world in the 15th century, mainly in the temperate regions (Eckoff et al., 2009). Corn is introduced into Mediterranean and South East Asia region in the 16th century by the Portuguese (Desjardin & McCarty, 2004). Corn tree is about 5 to 7 feet tall having long and green leaves attached to its stalk. It requires a warm weather climate, nutrient rich soil and abundant moisture for growth. Corn plant is monoecious which means both male and female flowers develop on the same plant. Its male flower or sometimes referred to as tassel is located on top of the plant while the female flower developed from shoots and arises from between the stalk and leaf sheath. Female inflorescence also refers as an ‘ear’. Normally, two to three shoots are found within one stalk of the corn plant. Male inflorescences are seen on top of a corn plant and are actively involved in pollination. During germination, the male pollen fertilises a young ovule which later grows into an embryonic plant.

Bazzania has the largest species of the family Lepidoziaceae (Marchantiophyta). This genus is abundant in the moist montane forest. Diversity of Bazzania in Java insufficiently reported, especially publications about its diversity in Central Java have never been reported. Therefore this study aimed to explore the diversity of Bazzania in Central Java. Studies of the Bazzania were based on the specimens collected from three mountains in Central Java, i.e. Mt. Lawu, Mt. Ungaran and Mt. Slamet. The observation in the laboratory was done based on the morphological and anatomical feature of the stem, lateral leaf, underleaves (amphigastria) and microphyll. Identification of the species used the existing literature that contains key identification, description or illustration of the Bazzania. Eleven species of Bazzania were identified from Central Java, namely Bazzania calcarata, B. japonica, B.
  • Reproductive Morphology

    Reproductive Morphology

    Week 3; Wednesday Announcements: 1st lab quiz TODAY Reproductive Morphology Reproductive morphology - any portion of a plant that is involved with or a direct product of sexual reproduction Example: cones, flowers, fruits, seeds, etc. Basic Plant Life cycle Our view of the importance of gametes in the life cycle is shaped by the animal life cycle in which meiosis (the cell division creating haploid daughter cells with only one set of chromosomes) gives rise directly to sperm and eggs which are one celled and do not live independently. Fertilization (or the fusion of gametes – sperm and egg) occurs inside the animal to recreate the diploid organism (2 sets of chromosomes). Therefore, this life cycle is dominated by the diploid generation. This is NOT necessarily the case among plants! Generalized life cycle -overhead- - alternation of generations – In plants, spores are the result of meiosis. These may grow into a multicellular, independent organism (gametophyte – “gamete-bearer”), which eventually produces sperm and eggs (gametes). These fuse (fertilization) and a zygote is formed which grows into what is known as a sporophyte - “spore-bearer”. (In seed plants, pollination must occur before fertilization! ) This sporophyte produces structures called sporangia in which meiosis occurs and the spores are released. Spores (the product of meiosis) are the first cell of the gametophyte generation. Distinguish Pollination from Fertilization and Spore from Gamete Pollination – the act of transferring pollen from anther or male cone to stigma or female cone; restricted to seed plants. Fertilization – the act of fusion between sperm and egg – must follow pollination in seed plants; fertilization occurs in all sexually reproducing organisms.

    Garden STEM at Home Plant Cuttings: Super Rooters

    Garden STEM at Home Plant Cuttings: Super Rooters WE GROW MINDS, TOO. PLANT CUTTINGS: SUPER ROOTERS OBJECTIVE: STUDENTS WILL LEARN ONE METHOD OF PROPAGATION - USING STEM CUTTINGS. BACKGROUND Propagation is any method or process that grows new plants from a variety of sources, including seeds, cuttings and other plant parts. Seeds are typically produced as a result of sexual reproduction. As a result, the genetic makeup of the resulting seed is a recombination of the contributing plants. Cuttings, though, are a method of vegetative reproduction. This means the new plants are a clone of the single parent that contributed the cutting. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Not all plants can be rooted in water after taking a cutting. Choose from some of the best: pothos, begonia, coleus, impatiens, African violet, creeping fig or ivy. Marigolds will also work, but not as easily (so if you choose them, try a second variety at the same time!). 2. Take a cutting, using a clean pair of scissors, knife or gardening shears, from a mature plant stem or vine. 3. Remove any lower leaves along the portion that will be submerged. 4. Place in a vase of fresh water and locate in a sunny spot. 5. Refresh water every few days. 6. As soon as roots form, you’ll be able to place in fresh potting soil. Water well until established and then water as normal.
