The liguleless2 gene of maize functions during the transition from the vegetative to the reproductive shoot apex.

The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology - 1 Aug 1999

Abstract excerpt

During a maize plant's (Zea mays) development, the shoot apical meristem (SAM) generates an apex that proceeds through different phases: juvenile vegetative, adult vegetative and reproductive. During each phase the structures produced are distinguishable from structures produced during the other phases. In this paper, we demonstrate that the LIGULELESS2 (LG2) function is required for an accurate vegetative to...
