Contributors: L. Morales *, A. Repka *, K. Swarts *, W. Stafstrom *, Y. He n, S. Sermons n, Q. Yang n, L. Lopez-Zuniga n ...

author keywords: near-isogenic lines; genotyping-by-sequencing; genome-wide association; allelic analysis; maize; disease resistance; flowering time; plant height; quantitative trait loci; genetics; Zea mays
MeSH headings : Crosses, Genetic; Disease Resistance / genetics; Genetic Association Studies; Genetic Introgression / genetics; Genome-Wide Association Study; Plant Breeding; Quantitative Trait Loci / genetics; Zea mays / anatomy & histology; Zea mays / genetics; Zea mays / growth & development; Zea mays / metabolism
TL;DR: The nNILs are a valuable resource for the maize community, providing an extensive collection of introgressions from the founders of the maize nested association mapping population in a B73 background combined with data on six agronomically important traits and from genotyping-by-sequencing.

Large Scale Field Inoculation and Scoring of Maize Southern Leaf Blight and Other Maize Foliar Fungal Diseases

BIO-PROTOCOL, 8(5).

By: S. Sermons n & P. Balint-Kurti n 

author keywords: Maize; Cochliobolus heterostrophus; Inoculation; Fungal disease
TL;DR: Field-grown maize is inoculated with Cochliobolus heterostrophus, causal agent of southern leaf blight disease, by dropping sorghum grains infested with the fungus into the whorl of each maize plant at an early stage of growth. (via Semantic Scholar)

2017 journal article

The role of internal and external nitrogen pools in bermudagrass growth during spring emergence from dormancy

JOURNAL OF PLANT NUTRITION, 40(10), 1404–1416.

By: S. Sermons n, B. Wherley *, C. Zhang n, D. Bowman n & T. Rufty n

author keywords: nitrate; root; stolon; turfgrass
TL;DR: Though mass increased at the same rate in both N treatments over 3 weeks of growth, the unfertilized treatment showed early signs of nitrogen deficiency: low tissue N, slowed leaf elongation, and fewer but longer roots. (via Semantic Scholar)

2012 journal article

Temperature interactions with transpiration response to vapor pressure deficit among cultivated and wild soybean genotypes

PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM, 148(1), 62–73.

By: T. Seversike n, S. Sermons n, T. Sinclair n, T. Carter * & T. Rufty n

MeSH headings : Genotype; Plant Transpiration / genetics; Soybeans / genetics; Soybeans / physiology; Temperature; Vapor Pressure
TL;DR: These experiments examined whether temperature of the growth environment affected the ability of plants to respond to VPD, and thus control transpiration rate (TR), and clearly were temperature-sensitive and kinetically definable, and more restrictive in the 'slow wilting' soybean genotype.
