Conservation and Dynamics of Maize Seed Endophytic Bacteria Across Progeny Transmission.

Maize ( L.) is an important cereal crop species for food, feedstock and industrial material. Maize seeds host a suitable ecosystem for endophytic bacteria, facilitating seed germination and seedling growth.

Overexpression of Maize Gene Plays a Negative Regulatory Role in Seed Germination in and .

MYB transcription factors are involved in many biological processes, including metabolism, stress response and plant development. In our previous work, was down-regulated by deep sowing during maize seed germination. However, there are few reports on seed germination regulated by MYB proteins.
