Abstract The chloride component of NaCl-salinity causes the leaf apoplast to transiently alkalinize. This transition in pH reduces stomatal aperture. However, whether this apoplastic pH (pHapo) transient initiates stomatal closure by interacting with other chloride-stress-induced responses or whether the pH transient alone initiates stomatal closure is unknown. To clarify the problem, the transient alkalinization of the leaf apoplast was mimicked in intact maize (Zea mays L.) by infiltrating near-neutral pH buffers into the leaf apoplast. Effects of the pHapo transient could thus be investigated independently from other chloride-stress-derived effects. Microscopy-based ratiometric live pHapo-imaging was used to monitor pHapo  in planta. LC-MS/MS and real-time-qRT-PCR leaf analyses showed that the artificially induced pHapo transient led to an increase in the concentrations of the stomata-regulating plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) and in transcripts of the key ABA-synthesizing gene ZmVp14 in the leaf. Since stomatal aperture and stomatal conductance decreased according to pHapo, we conclude that the pHapo transient alone initiates stomatal closure. Therefore, the functionality does not depend on interactions with other compounds induced by chloride-stress. Overall, our data indicate that the pH of the leaf apoplast links chloride-salinity with the control of stomatal aperture via effects exerted on the transcription of ABA.

In order to map the genes conditioning the induction of embryos during our anther culture process, we evaluated F2 plants from three different crosses for their anther culture ability and also performed RFLP analysis on these plants. The results showed that six chromosomal regions appear to be associated with the ability to induce embryo-like structures from maize microspores. These regions are located on chromosomes 1 (two regions), 3, 5, 7, and 8. Some of these chromosomes are identical to those found in previous studies and we have localized the regions more precisely. Notably, all chromosome regions identified, except one, are near viviparous mutant loci. Since the viviparous mutations are known to involve the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA), these results suggest that ABA or its antagonist, gibberellic acid (GA3), might somehow be related to anther culture ability. We also propose some combinations of probes to screen for anther culture ability in the three genotypes studied.Key words: restriction fragment length polymorphism, anther culture, gene mapping, Zea mays L.

The study investigated the responses of maize (Zea mays L.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) seedlings metabolic activities and photosynthetic apparatus to nitrogen nutritional stress. Germination of seeds was done using treated sand in sixty plastic pots and the seedlings were divided into four nutrient regimes. A group of the seedlings was nutrient stressed by administering 200 ml of complete nutrient solution minus nitrogen (-N) while the other groups were fed with five times (X5N) and ten times (X10N) the optimal concentration of nitrogen and the last regime was fed with full nutrient solution (FN). The photosynthetic parameters studied included chlorophylls ‘a’ and ‘b’ respectively; carotenes and xanthophyll while the mineral elements investigated include potassium, calcium and magnesium. The result of the growth analysis showed that nitrogen deficiency promotes an increase in the content of abscisic acid (ABA), causing stomatal closure and a reduction in photosynthesis. This explains the higher rate of leaf abscission in -N plants. A comparison of calcium ion and magnesium ion concentrations in both optimal and stressed conditions reveals that the two ions show antagonism in uptake. There is a correlation between nitrogen and magnesium accumulation as magnesium ion plays a vital role in chlorophyll biosynthesis, protein synthesis and photosynthesis. The pattern of accumulation of photosynthetic apparatus in both maize and cowpea follow a similar pattern. Chlorophyll a dictated the growth pattern of other photosynthetic apparatus in both Zea mays and Vigna unguiculata.

Agricultural land in Indonesia was largely dominated by untapped potential land, almost of that potential land is dry land. Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the staple crops that are known could be cultivated on dry land. Rizosphere has been known to containmicroorganisms that can improve the plant growth. In the previously study, we have screenedin vitro of rhizobacteria (6 isolates of Pseudomonas sp CRB and 7 isolates of Bacillus sp CR) as growth promoter of maize and drought tolerant. A total of 6 rhizobacterial formula were further applied in vivo in greenhouse to promote the growth of maize. In planta test on maize showed that formula CRB 19 and F3 (CR 83 + CRB 10) were the best formula that could enhance plant growth parameters under drought stress conditions. After that abundance and activities of microbe were analyzed by enumeration of total fungus, bacteria and actinomycetes, dehidrogease test, soil respiration test dan C-microbe test and those tests showed that formula CRB 19 and F3 (CR 83 + CRB 10) were the best formula.These formula could be recommended as inoculants of maize planted in dry land agriculture.   Keywords : drought tolerant,formulation, growth promoter, maize, rhizobacteria
