: Maize ( Zea mays L., cultivar BM 3066) and soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr., cultivar NS 6909) seeds were obtained from commercial suppliers in Brazil. The plant material was taxonomically identified by the authors based on morphological traits. As both species are widely cultivated crops, no voucher specimen was deposited. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, Zea mays is classified as Least Concern (2017), and Glycine max has not been assessed. Neither species is listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
