Influence of Water Deficit on Maize Endosperm Development : Enzyme Activities and RNA Transcripts of Starch and Zein Synthesis, Abscisic Acid, and Cell Division

In maize (Zea mays L.), drought during the post-pollination stage decreases kernel growth and often leads to grain yield losses. Kernels in the apical region of the ear are more severely affected than basally positioned kernels. We hypothesized that water deficit during early endosperm development m...
