The maintenance of rapid growth under conditions of CO2 enrichment is directly related to the capacity of new leaves to use or store the additional assimilated carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). Under drought conditions, however, less is known about C and N transport in C4 plants and the contributions of...

Global environmental change affects plant physiological and ecosystem processes. The interaction of elevated CO2, drought and nitrogen (N) deficiency result in complex responses of C4 species photosynthetic process that challenge our current understanding. An experiment of maize (Zea mays L.) involv...

We used poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) as a carrier polymer for pyraclostrobin-loaded nanospheres. Using the ultrasound emulsification-solvent evaporation method, the physicochemical characteristics and release properties of the pyraclostrobin-loaded nanospheres were studied by dialysis. The...

Plants maintain water balance by varying hydraulic properties, and plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) may be involved in this process. Leaf xylem and root hydraulic conductivity and the mRNA contents of four highly expressed ZmPIP genes (ZmPIP1;1, ZmPIP1;2, ZmPIP2;2, and ZmPIP2;5) in maize (Z...
