Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most widely cultivated crops globally, making significant contributions to food, animal feed, and biofuel production. However, maize yield is greatly affected by various climate and soil factors, and it faces hindrances due to abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and cold conditions. In confronting these hurdles, the field of crop breeding has transformed thanks to high-throughput sequencing technologies (HSTs). These advancements have streamlined the identification of beneficial quantitative trait loci (QTL), associations between markers and traits (MTAs), as well as genes and alleles that contribute to crop improvement. Presently, well-established omics techniques like genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics are being integrated into maize breeding studies. These approaches have unveiled new biological markers can enhance maize’s ability to withstand a range of challenges. In this chapter, we explore the current understanding of the morpho-physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying maize resistance and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. We focus on the use of omics techniques to enhance maize’s ability to withstand these challenges. Moreover, it emphasizes the significant potential of integrating multiple omics techniques to tackle the challenges presented by biotic and abiotic stress in maize productivity, contrasting with singular approaches.

Maize (Zea mays L.) stands as one of the most extensively cultivated crops globally, offering significant contributions to food, animal feed, and biofuel production. Maize yield is significantly impacted by diverse climate and soil variables, yet its productivity faces hindrances due to abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and cold conditions. In confronting these hurdles, the field of crop breeding has undergone a transformation thanks to high-throughput sequencing technologies (HSTs). These advancements have streamlined the identification of beneficial quantitative trait loci (QTL), associations between markers and traits (MTAs), as well as genes and alleles that contribute to crop improvement. Presently, well-established omics techniques such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics are being amalgamated into maize breeding studies. These approaches have unveiled new biological markers that are being employed to bolster maize's capacity to withstand an array of challenges. In this chapter, we explore the current knowledge regarding the morpho-physiological and molecular mechanisms that underlie the resistance and tolerance of maize to biotic and abiotic stresses. The focus is on utilizing omics techniques to augment maize's ability to withstand these challenges. Moreover, it emphasizes the significant potential of integrating various omics techniques to tackle the challenges presented by biotic and abiotic stress in maize productivity, contrasting with singular approaches.

“…mays, commonly known as maize or corn, belongs to the grass tribe andropogoneae of the family poaceae. [21] It is one of the most important crop plants that boasts multibillion dollar annual revenue. Besides its agronomic importance, maize has been a model subject for basic research for nearly a century.…”

The pathogen‐based diseases are prime concern for modern society. Some oxide‐based nanomaterials have been found to show promising antimicrobial activities. However, the industrial synthesis of these oxide materials are harmful to environment. Zinc oxide nano‐flakes were prepared using corn silk (Zea mays) extract. The material was characterized by spectral and microscopic techniques. XRD data shows rutile structure and nano‐crystal size of 36.15 nm. SEM indicates morphology consisting of nano size particles with porous structure. EDX confirms presence of Zn and O. UV‐Vis data shows band gap of 3.62 eV. On excitation, PL exhibits a variety of emission bands in visible spectrum. Dielectric properties suggest the dielectric constant has a well‐dispersed real and imaginary portion. The ZnO NFs were subjected to antimicrobial activities (in dark and under white light) against various strains like E. coli, K. pneumonia and S. aureus. The light induced antibacterial activity is slightly higher as compared to that in dark. Best part of this study is that minimum concentration of ZnO can be used in presence of light thereby reducing the toxicity to the environment due to these metal oxides. Based on the observed results, this material could be used as multi‐dimensional functional material in day‐to‐day life.
