Human cancer cell lines are an integral part of drug discovery practices. However, modeling
the complexity of cancer utilizing these cell lines on standard plastic substrata, does not …

Enormous progress has been made in understanding the genetics and biochemistry of
starch synthesis in crop plants. Furthermore, starch remains at the very epicenter of the …

Zea mays is an important genetic model for elucidating transcriptional networks.
Uncertainties about the complete structure of mRNA transcripts limit the progress of research …

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) affects over 250 million people worldwide and is one of the most
prevalent nutritional deficiencies in developing countries, resulting in significant socio …

The early maize (Zea mays) seed undergoes several developmental stages after double
fertilization to become fully differentiated within a short period of time, but the genetic control …

We present a large portion of the transcriptome of Zea mays, including ESTs representing
484,032 cDNA clones from 53 libraries and 36,565 fully sequenced cDNA clones, out of …

We implement a novel strategy for harnessing the power of high‐copy transposons for
functional analysis of the maize genome, and report behavioral features of the Mutator …

Low temperature inhibits the growth of maize (Zea mays) seedlings and limits yield under
field conditions. To study the mechanism of cold-induced growth retardation, we exposed …

Maize (Zea mays or corn) plays many varied and important roles in society. It is not only an
important experimental model plant, but also a major livestock feed crop and a significant …

Full-length cDNA (FLcDNA) sequencing establishes the precise primary structure of
individual gene transcripts. From two libraries representing 27 B73 tissues and abiotic stress …
