All information found within MAIZEWALL is indicated in black. The bioinformatic tools available to the user are indicated in blue.
* During the course of this work, a large number of maize ESTs were released (Gardiner et al., 2004). For this reason, a second NCBI search for maize genes was performed to complete existing data.
