MetabolomicsMaize Stem Response to Long-Term Attack by Sesamia nonagrioides
Plants defend themselves against herbivores by activating a plethora of genetic and biochemical mechanisms aimed at reducing plant damage and insect survival. The short-term plant response to insect attack is well understood, but less is known about the maintenance of this response over time. We per...

MetabolomicsNatural polymorphism of ZmICE1 contributes to amino acid metabolism that impacts cold tolerance in maize

Cold stress negatively affects maize (Zea mays L.) growth, development and yield. Metabolic adjustments contribute to the adaptation of maize under cold stress. We show here that the transcription factor INDUCER OF CBF EXPRESSION 1 (ZmICE1) plays a prominent role in reprogramming amino a...

MetabolomicsNovel Adaptive Strategies of Maize Rhizosphere Microbiome Mediated by strain ST-1 Against Vanadium Stress
Vanadium (V) contamination can disrupt plant growth, rhizosphere redox processes, and microbial functions, but how functional bacterial inoculation coordinates rhizosphere ecological adaptation with V behavior in crop systems remains unclear. In this study, a maize pot experiment was conducted to sy...

MetabolomicsUltrasound Priming Enhances Seed Vigor and Multiple Stresses Tolerance in Aged Maize Seeds
Seed vigor plays a crucial role in germination rate, population uniformity, seedling stress resistance and potential yield at maturity. Here we report a simple, eco-friendly physical method (40-second ultrasound) that rapidly triggers aged seeds to enhance seed vigor and stress resistance. Significa...

MetabolomicsRhizosheath-associated Massilia contributes to maize growth heterosis

Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, refers to the phenomenon where F1 hybrids outperform their parental inbred lines. Despite more than a century of intensive research across various species, the genetic basis and environmental regulation of heterosis, particularly belowground, remain poorly understood. ...

MetabolomicsUltrasound Priming Enhances Seed Vigor and Multiple Stresses Tolerance in Aged Maize Seeds

Seed aging leads to reduced germination rates and vigor, particularly under stress conditions. We subjected aged maize seeds to 40 seconds of ultrasonic treatment, which enhanced their vigor and tolerance to combined stress. The ultrasonic treatment increased more cracks and holes in the seed coa...

MetabolomicsA Plastoglobuli-Localized Enzyme Links Phenylalanine Biosynthesis to Translational Homeostasis in Maize
Aromatic amino acids are essential precursors for numerous plant metabolites, with phenylalanine (Phe) forming the basis of the phenylpropanoid pathway. Here, we reveal a critical mechanism for Phe biosynthesis in maize, demonstrating that all seven arogenate dehydratases (ADTs) are specifically loc...

MetabolomicsInsights into Metabolic Changes Caused by the Trichoderma virens-Maize Root Interaction
The interactions of crops with root-colonizing endophytic microorganisms are highly relevant to agriculture, because endophytes can modify plant resistance to pests and increase crop yields. We investigated the interactions between the host plant Zea mays and the endophytic fungus Trichode...
